Gaming

I've been emulating Mario Party Superstars and Mario Kart 8. Yuzu's multiplayer is amazing!

I'm trying to learn Magic the Gathering on the steam deck, but damn I'm getting my butt kicked. If anyone knows how to learn it I'm all ears.

I have rainworld on my list to play next, for now I'm mostly on Tunic.

It has been an interesting mix of things for me in the last few weeks. I have been playing a few Metroid games simultaneously. I never finished Prime 2 or 3 back in the day, so I'm revisiting Prime 2 currently and got past the boss that I got stuck on back in the day on my first try, so that felt good haha. Metroid 2 is one of the only Metroid games that I haven't played yet, so I started AM2R also.

I also randomly got into Soul Calibur 6 this weekend, which runs great on the Deck besides load times being a bit longer than I expected, but it's fine overall. I loved Soul Calibur 2 back in the day, so I have been going between both of those. The cool thing about fighting games is that they seem to age well as long as the mechanics are solid, so I think that SC2 still holds up very well today. It even has a native widescreen option, so it scales nicely to the Steam Deck's display.

I also picked up Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 a few days ago for just a few bucks, so I'm playing that sometimes too for variety. Street Fighter 6 releasing and now the Mortal Kombat I reveal has me playing some fighting games again apparently. It's a pretty healthy time for that genre right now.

Train sim world 2! I love train sims, but an hour is a long time to commit to sitting at my desk. Being able to move around the house a bit is a massive boost to me enjoying them :)

Mostly FTL, trying to finish FFVII & FFX and work on my backlog of games I want to finish.

Currently playing BOTW, Stardew Valley, Cassette Beasts, and Shadow Tactics Blade of the Shogun (I have trouble focusing on one game at once.)

Super excited for BG3 too, although I'm waiting for controller support with the full release first.

Witcher 3, Death Stranding, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Disco Elysium and Elden Ring.

I like my Steam Deck but I'm not the world's biggest superfan like a lot of guys in the subreddit were. It definitely has its shortcomings and things that could be improved.

I'm playing Yamafuda and maybe will try the system shock remake.

I've heard the controller support is awful there though.

Currently working my way through botw. I know it's old at this point but I have never played before. Also cyberpunk 2077. I started and never finished. I want to be ready for the dlc that is coming out soon

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

Trying to 100% Spiderman at the moment, and also playing ToTK on my deck

Recently grabbed D4, it’s running great atm (60fps).

Mostly point and click adventures. Harvey's New Eyes is my favorite among those I've finished for now

I'm currently really into playing Mount & Blade Bannerlord on the Steam Deck, but I use it for just about everything these days. Between my whole Steam library and emulators that can play all the games I grew up with, it's like having my whole gaming lifetime in a tiny portable machine.

Mostly play indie top-down retro stuff like Core Keeper, but the occasional bout of Halo MCC/Infinite, RDR2, Wasteland 3, and a few others.

If the new Battlebit release anti-cheat functions properly under Proton then I'll be picking that up.

SteamDeck is GREAT for light roguelikes. They are often designed with controller in mind and are light on the battery.

I've been playing

• Dead Cells
• Hades
• Slay the Spire
• Skul
• Undermine
• Vampire Survivors

All great on Deck

I've recently started working my way through the Telltale Games and Don't Nod back catalogues. Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People is great fun, and Life Is Strange Before The Storm plays really well too. :)

If you haven’t played sleeping dogs, it’s one of the biggest underrated games and runs Amazing on the deck

I'm playing Doki Doki Literature Club mainly to see why there are all the disclaimers about disturbing content.

Over the year I've finished Outer Wilds, Hades, PikuNiku, the second Ori game, and have been slowly getting through Elden Ring. Next is probably Tunic, but idk if it's worth my time after playing through the first 2 hours.

Nowadays I can't use any other controller than the deck, so I sometimes link it with the pc just for that - I just can't live without the gyro and the back buttons
