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 love how simple it is to play games on the Steam Deck The user interface is straight-forward, like it is with the other gaming consoles

PRO TIP: Turn Off the FPS Counter, you get to enjoy the game you are playing MORE

Diablo 4, runs pretty decent.

How did you get it to work on the SD? The controller support for Diablo is amazing, I'm sure I'd have an amazing time on the steam deck for it.

I first downloaded and played it on my main rig(also linux). I used the lutris community script to install battle.net and then just installed the game through the launcher as you normally would. Then I simply copied the prefix to my SD, that way I didn't have to redownload it again, added it to lutris on my SD, linked it to steam, and voila. I'm using Proton-GE 8.4 and have had no issues so far.

You could just do it all on the SD directly I guess.

Burnout revenge and dishonored

I know it isn't typical, but I love using my deck as a Steam Link client.

Last game I played on it, yesterday, was Just Cause 3. It's.. not great. The game just doesn't run consistently enough and is too CPU heavy.

I recently played Red Dead Redemption 2 on it, that was great. Surprisingly so. I'm playing Skyrim now. I've had the game for years but never took the time to properly get into it. I beat the main quest and messed with mods back in the day but that's it.

Now, I'm playing it vanilla and I want to just go deep into the game, completely ignoring the main quest, I don't want to be the hero, if the universe needs saving, it can find someone else. Khajiit have caves to explore and stuff. Oh and the new Survival Mode is neat!

Looking to get a steam deck as my next big purchase. Seems like the perfect gaming device for me

[–] hazelnot@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

Just finished Metroid Prime Remastered on it. Before that I replayed Assassin's Creed 1 and s 2, and was gonna play Bloodlines but I realized the gameplay sucks.

Now I'm playing Bully, Dreamfall and Metroid Prime 2 in semi-parallel lol

Playing some Wildermyth right now - it works just right. Yakuza Like a Dragon works like a charm on the SD, btw. That is an amazing game. Might go after Ishin Like a Dragon right after!

Had just gotten into AC:Valhalla, but then Diablo 4 cane out and has worked flawlessly, so I've been all in on it.

Being playing Dredge and Harry Potter through remote play on my Xbox. Xbox is wired and having no issues.

Mostly emulation. As a day 1 Dreamcast owner, the Dreamcast emulation has been mindblowing.

Most of the A-list games I prefer on console, so I don't bother with them on Steam.

The Steam Deck helps feed my FFXIV addiction.

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Right now I'm playing Horizon Zero dawn. runs beautifully. very occasionally crashes but otherwise great.

[–] SoggyPigeon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I got Drakenguard 3 running on rpcs3 recently so I've mainly been playing that. Also been playing Pokemon infinite fusion.

I tend to prefer games that aren't as heavy on the deck and stuff like cyberpunk and Elden ring better on my main rig.

Lots of emulated games, mostly. Retrodeck is kinda jank but when you figure it out it's such a convenient way of using most emulators you'll need.

Dead Cells, and it's fantastic. It feels like the Steamdeck is made for platformers.

[–] AGTMADCAT@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

I'm finally making my way through all the MegaMan X games. I only ever beat the first one as a kid, so there's a lot for me to explore. I'm still beating my head against X2, so it's not going super well...

[–] Rega@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Mostly playing Fallout 3 atm. Planning on finally finishing Skyrim on the deck as well. I've also played quite a bit of itch.io games on there lately.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lately I've been playing Descenders: It's been a lot of fun and runs great! It's a procedurally generated cycling/BMX game.

[–] Yreska@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have mine but rarely know what to play on it, as my favorite games aren't comfortable to play on the deck - ie AoE, Endless Legend, Phasmophobia... This thread is going to be quite useful for me.

I had been playing hollow knight, but then I got yuzu and Zelda: tears of the kingdom. It's been awesome.
