@Fubarberry I recently started Hyperlight Drifter. Great game so far, but its pretty difficult.

Shadow of Mordor

[-] Odum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just finished Lil Gator Game which was such a charming little game. The writing was great and the achievements were even painless to wrap up after I rolled credits. Super cute and cozy, do recommend.

Otherwise, still chugging along on Octopath Traveler II which is a big improvement over the first game imo. Between a willingness to play with the camera angles, more flexible story structures, and some good QOL, this is definitely a much more enjoyable experience for me than the first.

Nova Drift is a great asteroids rogue like.

Castlevania IV from the advance collection (and it's frustrating AF) trying to do all of the classic castlevanias but I may hang this one up and move on. I feel like I spend more time fighting the controls than the platforming.

About two hours into Chained Echos after finishing Cosmic Star Heroine. I always have to have a jrpg going.

I'm finishing spider-man and will start miles morales after that

I got the Deck from Summer Sale and since then I've been playing:

  • Horizon Zero Dawn
    • Been waiting to play this one for years, but haven't had Playstation since PS2 or proper desktop PC in years. SD fulfilled all my expectations, never getting a desktop PC anymore!
  • Halls of Torment
    • Enjoyed Vampire Survivors on Xbox, enjoying this one
  • Hogwarts Legacy
    • Seems really "meh", so played only couple of hours.

Finally working on The Long Dark.

Thps3 and pikmin 3.

Although I'm likely to buy baldursg gate 3 in a couple days once I've heard how it holds up

[-] Polo421@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I got THPS 1+2 on epic and heroic. It's so beautiful.

I just started Bioshock 2 Remastered. It runs surprisingly well.

So, I got some games from the sale and slowly started playing them a little...

Slay the Spire seems to be quite liked, but it's not really my thing. Beat the game with three of the four characters I have access to and it still hasn't really "clicked". If somebody could explain to me what makes this game so (supposedly) great, maybe I'd be able to appreciate it a little better?

I also got Redout 2, because I really enjoyed the first part and thought the second should be at least as good. So far I like it, seems like a graphics upgrade and some gameplay enhancements from the first part. However, with ai assist disabled, the difficulty curve seems to be brutally steep. Also, even though I have only played like 8 tutorials and 3 campaign tracks so far, I have already had some issues with clipping through the course after jumps, which might turn into a rather annoying trait if it remains an issue. Still, would recommend. It's a beautiful antigravity racer with terrific "car" mechanics.

Apart from that, I got the gog version of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri running (although the videos don't work). It's kind of my comfort game which I keep returning to.

Regarding StS, I think you've given it a fair shot if you've completed it with three characters already. If you still want to press on, then I found the fourth character really fun and engaging. I didn't try that many difficulty levels (think I made it to 4 with the Ironclad), but I really liked the daily challenge as well to mix it up and quickly feel powerful in my runs.

I always think of Slay the Spire as my gateway drug into other deckbuilding games such as Monster train and Griftlands, so if you've enjoyed the card aspect of it, maybe give one of those a shot? (Or stay clear of them if you hated that part)

[-] DLSantini@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Only just got my Deck. Still in the process of doing upgrades and mods. But while I have been testing my overclock and cooling mods and whatnot, I have put a few hours into Elden Ring and it's awesome on the Deck. The load times are insanely fast compared to my actual high-end gaming laptop. Looking forward to starting a new save on the Deck, after I have everything setup the way I want it. Waiting on a 2tb ssd to replace the 1tb that I just put in the a few days ago. Need to get that swap done before I can finish the cooling mod.

I've also put a couple of hours into the Demon Slayer game while testing. That game runs at a locked 60 fps, and plays amazingly.

Stardew Valley and Halls of Torment

[-] AltF4@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's been mostly Diablo 4 for me, but I'm also playing a ton of Picross via Yuzu. While I own these games on Switch, I really much more prefer the feel of Steam Deck in my hands.

High on Life!

[-] CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just finished up Diablo 4 and now I'm playing Dave the Diver.

[-] miikaroo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I play way too much FFXIV on mine, but been playing Baba is You, FFIX, Muse Dash, Downwell, Powerwash Sim, Slime Rancher 2 as well... I'm stoked that it plays the Lies of P demo pretty well!

[-] abeltramo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm currently playing Batman Arkam Knight after buying at a huge discount last week. It works flawlessly on Deck and it looks gorgeous even on the small screen, the game is also great fun; absolutely recommended!

[-] jecht360@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Currently playing FFXIV and Pumpkin Jack. I'm also testing out Space Engineers. I'm surprised it works.

[-] Teritz@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Skul The Hero Slayer Horizon Turbo Chase

[-] blacklizardplanet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just started Elden Ring for the first time a few days back. First game I played where I was generally blown away how well it runs and looks for a handheld PC.

[-] Kevadroz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Rain World, gotta 100% the game.

[-] TheMcSqueeze@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm currently playing 7 Days to Die. I'm late to the game but with the new Alpha 21 update it runs pretty well on the Deck. I had to rework some of the bindings and set the loader to Vulkan compatibility but I'm getting a consistent 45 to 60 fps in all but the most crowded cities. Haven't gone past my 3rd horde night so I'm not sure how the masses are going to cripple the game. Having a lot of fun though.

[-] BlueCapy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I just beat and got 100% achievements in Ender Lilies. Solid metroidvania.

[-] soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

With the release of Book of Hours just around the corner, I dug out Cultist Simulator again. It runs well enough on the Steam Deck, but it needs mouse input (-> touchpads), and sometimes it flickers (this seems to be related to autosaves).

Overall it works well enough on the Deck so that it's fun to play. The flickering is annoying though.

[-] nicman24@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

darkest dungeon, mechanicus, the dishonnered series, witcher, ff7 crisis remaster, smash bros, random pokemon hacks, deus ex hr

[-] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
