Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.
What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?
I have 400 steam games, a Series X, a PS5, a Switch OLED, a gaming PC, but I spend most of my time playing Brotato on my Steam Deck.
LOL!
TOTK! Runs great via some of the latest Yuzu updates.
Also Pizza Tower and a bit of PGA 2K21 here and there.
I’ve been playing Spiritfarer and Forza Horizon 4 on mine as of late.
Playing Cyberpunk and Ace Combat.
As a toddler+newborn dad I flat out need the option of playing on TV or in bed, and instantly flipping on or off.
I honestly never dreamed of something like this when I grew up gaming on Windows 95+. Can’t wait 'til I can game with my sons.
Not the same games but exact same vibe. Need to be able to turn it off literally minutes after I start. Can’t wait to game with the kids. I want them to be older already but also not yet.
Careful what you wish for. All my kids play is the Roblox SDK to design train games lol. Ok I guess we do rock the occasional Mario Cart 😁
I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.
Been playing BOTW but also XCOM 2 and the roguelike deckbuilders bundle from Humble Bundle recently. Loving the steamdeck so much.
how is Botw performing?
I am playing TOTK and it’s pretty decent. 30FPS 95% of the time.
40fps, no issues :)
Which deckbuilders are your favorites? I’ve been playing STS and Monster Train but always looking for more good ones. (Also a bunch of boardgame style deckbuilders (Dominion, Ascension etc) but that’s a different category I guess)
I found dicey dungeons to be good, and fights in tight spaces is okay, but probably a bit mid.
Just started playing Persona 5 Royal. I’ve got a ton of looong RPGs installed, and nowhere close to enough free time for them.
Is it any good? Was thinking of trying it out.
It was fantastic, one of my favorite games!
Just got here and I have been playing D4 on the deck since early access. Love the deck!
I was looking to scratch the FromSoft itch after Elden Ring finally converted me into a lover of those games.
I bought Sekiro on my deck and got crack cocaine addicted to it. Plays GREAT. Also recently finished Celeste on there which is a game I see myself going back to again and again.
I am currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on my deck, performs well enough (the major concern is the affect to the battery if playing handheld). Keyboard required for first time set-up (virtual keeb didn’t work).
Others:
No Man’s Sky - endless playability imo and was my go to when I purchased
Planet Zoo - I haven’t actually played on deck yet, but I got my desktop setup where I only need to use the mouse, and plan to try the strategy on my deck.
Dofromantik - this is a relaxed puzzle game that is very good on deck
Podman - containerization is a game, and the deck is a Linux computer after all :)
I have one, but borrowed it to my neighbor to try it out and see if he wants to purchase one. :)
I don’t play on it often honestly, but I mainly use it if I’m going to bed and don’t want to sleep, flying, visiting in laws, or want to play controller games. It’s console lite for me.
I played Brotato on it for way too many hours.
Brotato is so addictive haha.
Way more than that vampire game IMO lol. I got the mods too and it’s so much fun.
Totally!
It’s pretty much the same for me, basically only use it when I’m to lazy to sit infront of the pc or I’m simply just not at home.
I do have to admit the syncing over Steam works amazingly, I can stop playing on my pc sit on the couch and my latest save is already on there.
It does work really well, but doesn’t sync when you’re playing offline and want that to go back to your desktop or want the hours to show up. :(
I had a similar problem when trying to sync non-steam games, then I stumbled upon syncthing. I’m hosting it on my Pi, so it would sync for me even when I’m offline, but being at a different place is an issue then.
Meh, I don’t care to solve for it personally. No one will see my hours and that’s not a bad thing. 😋

You might want to keep an eye on OpenGoal. It’s a decompilation of the original engine. This allows you to run Jak 1 natively, and they’re working on porting Jak 2 as well. This can also result in higher performance, better graphics and more :)

Good to hear! I actually still haven’t really played it, although I set it up on my system. I got the urge to play more platforms, including Jak, after I finally beat one of my favorite childhood games, Rayman 2 The Great Escape, a few months ago.
Darkest Dungeon 2, TOTK, Everspace 2. Some Time Wasters and Dofromatik when I need something mindless.
Burnout revenge and dishonored
Ive been emulating and toying around with linux a bit mostly I plan to get TOTK on there when im done playing it on the switch
