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.
Just got here and I have been playing D4 on the deck since early access. Love the deck!
Just started playing Persona 5 Royal. I've got a ton of looong RPGs installed, and nowhere close to enough free time for them.
I'm still not sure if I want to get the Steam Deck, I play portable games on my Switch and while I miss out on having all my Steam library and stuff, I just can't seem to reasonably justify buying one
I went from a Hades binge which ended when I entered the mid-to-late game grind phase interspersed with bouts of BoI (finally picked up Repetence) and found myself wondering what to do now.
So I figured, hey, maybe it's about time I finally went back and finished Bastion.
Then all of a sudden Street Fighter 6 comes out (which plays incredibly well on the deck) and a new No Man's Sky expedition launches, and now I don't know what to do!
I've been playing Celeste on the Steam Deck. Really good game and its a replay, since previously I had done it on the Switch.
Steamdeck owner since August last year, here. And I love it... As a traditional console gamer, it's been great to dig into my basically untouched Steam library that I've steadily accumulated with Humble Bundles over the last decade or more. Steam sales are a game changer... I've discovered so many titles I would have otherwise missed! I should say that I am 99% a docked gamer as well, and the Steamdeck works absolutely fine like this.
In terms of games - I've just started Ori and the Blind Forest (currently on sale). I'm also playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off. I spent 120+ hours on Elden Ring on the deck. And I'm patiently waiting for the Dark Souls games to go on sale so I can pick them up and start yet another playthrough.
I have a deck, got the 64gb and replaced the eMMC with a 1tb SSD
I'm playing Middle Earth Shadow of War, since despite how old it is, I've yet to properly finish it. On the plus side, they removed all the microtransactions now
I'm also playing Diablo 4 on it
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
Been playing Diablo 4! Got to lvl 50 on my pc, but decided to try playing on the Steam Deck to play a little in bed and it surprised me how well it works.
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 want a steam deck so badly. In the mean time I’m paying my switch.
But I really want to play disco elysium. I know it’s available for the switch, but it pays terribly compared to the pc.
I'm here, but I've been playing TotK on switch as of late. I was actually playing Metroid Prime: Remastered on the deck before that.
Halls of Torment (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/)
If you like Vampire Survivors you will like this too.
I’ve been playing Diablo IV since it came out! Runs surprisingly well.
I installed BlizzNet on my steamdeck and am playing through Diablo IV. I'm usually a more patient gamer but my friends were playing and coop is fun.
Right now I'm playing Horizon Zero dawn. runs beautifully. very occasionally crashes but otherwise great.
99% of my Deck gameplay has been Harvest Moon Animal Parade (Wii game) since I got it last fall. Lmao. But I recently got a little chill game called Lemon Cake on sale so I’ve been messing with that. I just want calm games these days, preferably ones I can pick up and put down easily.
I'm more curious how many are running SteamOS vs Windows to get an idea of how good proton support for titles is.
Proton has become astonishingly good.
Even niche titles either work, or at worst I need to use a specific build of Proton (usually Proton GE for some obscure video formats).
I also have had good luck using Bottles to run Battle.net for Diablo 3 and 4.
I don't play many competitive multiplayer games though, where very aggressive anti-cheat can be a problem.
The primary games that don't work (yet) are Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, both by HoYo. There's some particular quirk of their anti-cheat that causes the games to crash instantly. That said, it's worth noting that occasionally Genshin Impact has worked for a few weeks, so HoYo seems to be testing a change that might allow it to work consistently eventually.
Siralim Ultimate, and it's perfect on the Deck. Siralim makes it easy to play 1 handed, which is great during bottle feeding time and naptime on the lap pillow.
I was a really early pre-orderer and love my deck. Playing Cosmic Star Heroine this week!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/256460/Cosmic_Star_Heroine/
River City Girls is up next.
Warhammer Boltgun, Forza Horizon 4 & Fallout 76.
Boltgun is incredible, best new game I’ve bought this year.
Fallout 76 (don’t judge) is great just to burn some time doing events with randoms and joining public teams.
I’ve really gotten into Forza Horizon 4 again recently and am also playing through that on the Deck.
I’ve added a 1tb SSD to mine so it’s running Windows and Linux meaning I’m pretty much free to play my whole library. Love the thing.
Been slowly working my way through Shadow of War, between probably a bit too much Against the Storm, Surviving Mars, Stellaris, and Timberborn.
I love my Steam Deck and use it for smaller indie titles I can play for a short time through the week.
At the moment I play Flood of Light, which works pretty well despite being a game relying heavily on mouse controls.
And as a second: Super Panda Adventure. A surprisingly fun metroidvania.
Casette Beasts is next, already played about an hour, but I want to finish the others first.
Currently playing Death Stranding in between two sessions of Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch !
I've had my Steam Deck since April of last year. I love it. I love the community that has formed supporting it. The last game I beat on it was Midnight Suns. Since I got my reservation for it in July 2021. I went from about 4 games on Steam. To over 140 games.
It's probably my primary console whenever possible.
Currently playing some No Man's Sky. It runs better than I was expecting.
I was playing Showgunners and was really enjoying it but it crashes a lot on the deck. I'm hoping an update fixes it.
I got it in September last year. While I am alternating between Death Stranding and Wolfenstein: the new order, I have to say that this fantastic machine has allowed me to play and finish 18 games since September, which is unbelievable for a person with a job and a family with a kid...
Been advancing the story in Trails of Cold Steel II, the sleep function is a bless for these types of games.
I'm playing TOTK on switch right now, but when I'm done, I'm probably going back to Lost Judgement.
I finally claimed all my humble bundle keys for the last few years. So I've been working through some of those.
The stand out, cozy game, that runs really well on the deck is Spiritfarer.
Yes, I am playing Dredge right now. I am also playing papers please, which is obviously easier with mouse but it works good enough. I am also playing the first Ori game and Tetris sometimes. I played tails of iron too which is great fun.
Slay the Spire, American Truck Simulator, Bloons TD6, Deep Rock Galactic were games I had a good experience with.
I had a USBC Dongle and was also able to play games like TMNT Shredders Revenge, Out of Space, Moving Out, Plate Up and Overcooked with other people very easily by bringing it with me and extra controllers.
In order of play time on the deck:
- Dead Cells
- Hades
- Katana Zero
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Neon White
I'm currently playing Octopath Traveller 2 and it's running great ! It's also a very fun game. The next game on my list is Outer Wilds.
Been playing Dinkum lately, great controller support works well on the deck.
