    I’ve been playing a whole lot of Monster Hunter Rise. It runs really good, great performance and battery life (which makes sense considering it was originally a switch game). It’s my first real Monster Hunter game and I’m having a great time with it.

    Only issues I’ve encountered: switching between docked and handheld play causes a minor fps drop until I restart the game. The game also has a utterly bizarre bug where if you’re playing with a controller designated as the 2nd player controller, any monster roar will drop the fps to 0 for like a minute. Super bizarre, no idea what kind of spaghetti code could cause that.

    Edit: for anyone interested, Fanatical has a build your own monster hunter bundle right now that’s an incredibly good deal. Can get MH Rise + it’s big Sunbreak expansion for $11, previous best deal I had seen was $18 for the two. They also have MH World and a lot of other past MH games.

    I recently bought the Cat Quest trilogy. I played the first two on my switch but the third one just came out and Steam did the whole bundle at a discount so I snagged it. Been enjoying replaying the first two before I start on the new one.

    I’ve been addicted to Unrailed recently, it’s genuinely a great game that (at least for me) never gets boring. I’m desperately waiting for Unrailed 2. Even the multiplayer works really well on the Steam Deck/Linux in general.

      Morrowind

      Using OpenMW or vanilla engine? Any mods? I just ordered a Deck and Morrowind is at the top of my list of games to install.

        I’m using Vanilla, but AFAIK modded would work just as well. The key for playing old, pre-controller games meant for big monitors on the Deck are two features: Stream Input and Native Zoom. I always map one of the back buttons (usually) to Toggle Zoom.

        Please post about your experience with modded Morrowind, I might want to try that too!

          You should definitely use OpenMW instead of vanilla, it’s not a mod but is instead a full engine rewrite. It runs natively on linux, has better performance, and a whole lot of other benefits:

          • Native support for macOS, Linux, and Windows
          • Improved physics and AI
          • Distant terrain
          • Save/Load dialogs organized by character
          • Quality of life UI improvements, such as being able to search for spells
          • Multiple quicksaves
          • World map adjusts automatically to fit new landmass from mods such as Tamriel Rebuilt
          • Support for up to 2147483646 loaded mods (up from 255 in the original Morrowind engine)
          • Since it was made from scratch, virtually no engine bugs from the original Morrowind
          • And much more

          You can install it from the Discover store in desktop mode and then add it to steam, or alternatively you can use a tool like Protonup-qt (also in the discover store) to install Luxtorpeda, which is a tool for automatically launching supported games with rewritten engines. Once Luxtorpeda is installed you can open Morrowind steam properties in game mode, and check the “force specific compatibility tool” box and select to run the game with Luxtorpeda. After that it will automatically run the game through the OpenMW engine instead.

          Thanks for the tips :)

          Sure, I’ll try to remember to do that!

    Was surprised to see that GTA-V gives me over 6hrs of play on a charge on the OLED with 45fps/90hz and half-rate shading enabled so played a bunch on that for old times sake. Going to get RDR2 on sale this week to keep scratching that Rockstar itch.

    Finally figured out how to get Assassin’s Creed - Syndicate running on the deck and this is such a great game, my first in the AC series.

    Elden Ring & Resident Evil 6!

    Elden Ring: Man this game is so long but fun. I just can’t help myself playing this game everywhere. Somehow getting my ass kicked, and winning a fight or two time to time, kills time so efficiency.

    RE6: Despite it’s bad rep, it’s a really good game for couch coop on a TV. The performance was great, and just really enjoyable when laughing at bugs & absurd writing with friends.
