I am absolutely ravishing skyrim with mods on my steam deck right now. I'm playing a destruction mage, and half the time when im attacking I say "and so I started blastin" to myself. I play Vampire Survivors often, dead cells, subnautica, No Mans Sky, etc. Might give elden ring another try since I've been enjoying more difficulty in games.

HIya! I jump around a lot but today I started playing Warhammer 40K Space Marine again in preparation for the release of the sequel. Before that I'm working through Daemon x Machina to scratch the Armored Core itch I have waiting for AC6.
How does SM handle on the deck? I've been thinking of doing the same.
I'm playing Yamafuda and maybe will try the system shock remake.
I've heard the controller support is awful there though.
LEGO Builder's Journey has been really fun, its a great game to play at night to wind down even though it's pretty short
I know it isn't typical, but I love using my deck as a Steam Link client.
I've been playing Diablo 4 as well as modded Minecraft with my wife lately. I have tears of the kingdom installed to play next. Diablo and Minecraft run surprisingly well with little/no additional tinkering once the initial set up is done
Dark Souls 2 with a very nice lighting mod. It's called DS2LightingEngine SOFTS. I played DS1 and DS3 but could never get into DS2, partly owing to the visuals which I really didn't like. Now it looks cool and I'm getting a few deaths in here and there on the deck.
I love bloodstained, personally. Runs super well and the game is just a perfect fit for the deck.
It’s also amazing for emulation! Just about any traditional-controller game works like a charm. I’m going back and revisiting so many of the old GameCube and gameboy games
Vampire Survivors, and Pico-8 games via Emudeck. Once I'm bored of those I plan to spend a bit more time with Snowrunner. I've never really got into it, but it looks like my sort of game.
My Steam Deck is mostly an indie/retro machine that I play while I'm vegging out in bed/on the couch at the end of the day. Lots of PS1 games and whatnot
Been mainly using it to get through the Trails series before Trails from Reverie releases in July - currently on Trails of Cold Steel 4, but it's a hard one to get through.
Other than that, been emulating Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and playing with friends.
Oooo. The trails series would be great to start back up.
Got mine a couple months ago, my most played games so far are Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Monster Train, Isaac and Enter the Gungeon.
Some others I like that play well on the deck with good controller support: Crypt of the Necrodancer, Spelunky, Cluster Truck, Baba is You, Hades, Hotline Miami 1 & 2, Mark of the Ninja, Steamworld Heist and of course Vampire Survivors.
Previous thread for some more ideas.
I've been playing octopath traveler 2 and hi fi rush. I wish it was a bit smaller though. After playing Zelda on my switch it reminded me how unwieldy it can be.
Oh man. Exactly the same opinion. Finished BotW and back to the steamdeck just felt so weird. I've got a satisfye grip on my switch but it's just so much more comfortable and ergonomic.
I can’t play action games on my deck at all. SoI hear ya. I have small hands. The switch fits me much better, so I play action games like TOTK on it.
Yeah the deck makes my hands cramp up. Also small hands. I hope something simlar comes out with the same form factor as a switch.
I got mine last July, and it’s quickly become my favorite “console” of all time. Rn I’m playing Fallout New Vegas and emulating some older Monster Hunter games.
I recently played through the entire Yakuza franchise on it too.
Steamdecker here (is this how we call ourselves ?). Since I got the Deck I played a few dozen hours of Stardew Valley, some Broforce and Hades.
One of the best purchases I made in the last few years.
I just got hooked on cities skylines so I haven’t been on my Deck as much, but I was playing a ton of vampire survivors and midnight suns for a while.
I like to dock the Steam Deck for couch coop. Go to games include Overcooked, Boomerang Fu and Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time.
I absolutely love the steam deck. I bounce around games, the most recent new release I played was Hogwarts Legacy. More recently I've been using it as like background occupation to listen to podcasts and have been playing euro truck sim 2 and American truck sim. It's also gotten me back into Elite: Dangerous so I should probably finish that exploration route I had set up. I also very almost finished Celeste (like I'm on the final level), so I should probably go back and finish that. Like I said, I bounce around lol.
Playing next I'm not really sure, I bought KSP2 on launch day but wasn't really able to run it, but the new updates seem to have majorly improved performance so I'll try that when I next feel like it.
I want to get one, but don't have one yet, unfortunately. A bit out of my price range at the moment.
