To clear my backlog a bit I recently played Little Kitty, Big City, Smushi Come Home and now Paper Trails. Currently more on the ‘cosy train’ of games. I think Little Kitty, Big City was the first game I played on the Deck that implements the Steam Input API.
NEVA. SIFU is up next, got it free a couple days ago! Been mostly playing on desktop lately though (FFXVI)
My 11 year old brother was told he can’t beat DOOM Eternal on Ultra Nightmare (1 life mode) given only 100 hours of playtime. I told him there’s absolutely no chance he can do that if he’s on Xbox or PS, and to prove it to him I’ve been letting him try on my Steam Deck which is essentially a console controller++
Credit where it’s due, he’s great with the thumbsticks but he’s changed difficulty from Nightmare to Ultra Violence a few too many times to instill any confidence that he could do this lol
Inscyption, dredge, ufo50, hades
Started playing Spiritfarer and UFO50 in the last couple weeks and will likely play them into the beginning of 2025.
haven’t really started anything new and I may have mentioned this before but its been years and sorta a big deal for me but I finally did an ending in both cyberpunk and elden ring. I actually completed the dlcs before the normal endings.
Curse of the Golden Idol + DLCs
Heroes of Hammerwatch, Windblown, and Risk of Rain 2
Been nice since the SO also has a steam deck now.
I’ve been playing CP2077 again with the new patch. I also got God of War: Ragnarök for Christmas, so I’ve been playing that as well.
Mother 3 fan translation, gives me 7 hours of battery :) always loved Earthbound so it’s nice to finally play the “sequel”
The Akham trilogy, I’m playing Akham City at the moment with the HD texture pack.
Arkham City was such a good game, I have really fond memories of it.
- Skald: Against the Black Priory
- Mud Runners
How’s Skald? It looks interesting
It is. Very atmospheric, and I’m sure there’s a whole lot more depth to things like combat and crafting if you’re interested.
For me it’s just an easy and accessible story RPG. The text-based dialogue and turn-based mechanics make it ideal for on the road gaming IMO. You can look up from your screen or suspend and drop the Deck into your bag at any point.
The writing is great and the game feels much, much, much more fluid than the actual old games it is based on. A lot of love and care has been put into this. It’s very affordable too.
Fill disclosure: I happen to know the artist who did the character art.
Bit late to the party but slay the spire and dredge
Last games I played were Life is Strange: Double Exposure and after that the phenomenal The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow.
Currently I’m playing through Diablo 2 again.
Finishing up Lies of P. Debating what to play next. I picked up a few things during holiday sales and giveaways and might play one of those games. Thinking of doing Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Might do Path of Exile 2 though since someone else here said it’s been running fine on their Deck.
