Bad North
Mini metro
Forza horizon 4
Fallout 4
Vampire survivors
The GoW memory leak shouldn’t be an issue once SteamOS 3.6 hits stable, it uses ZRAM which will keep the game from crashing the Deck.
Thanks for the info. Thats good to know. Its a pain having to have short plays while keeping an eye on the ram creeping up.
Currently I’m playing through Ready Or Not, the engine update and them adding FSR3.0 made the game playable at the best of times! However the Deck still freezes and crashes occasionally sadly.
Dave the Diver!
Warhammer Space Marine. Wanted to get into Warhammer and saw space Marines 2. The first one is good fun.
Started playing Animal Well the other day. It’s quite good.
UFO 50. Going through each game, 1 by 1.
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. Just finished the story mode. It’s Steam Deck Verified, so it runs and plays well, and it’s easy to play with a controller because it has a bit of auto-aim/aim correction.
I did enjoy it. Not a must play by any means, but it does add to the lore of the Alan Wake series. If you are a fan of that game series, I recommend playing this. And if you aren’t, you probably should play the other games in the series. 😉
In my first month with the Deck, I have mostly played:
- Death Stranding
- Red Faction: Guerrilla
- GRID (2008)
And the hilarious tech demo of course!
I’m really happy with how well Death Stranding works and really see myself finishing it now that I can play it on commute. Love that game but it never fit my schedule (at the desk, I always played flight sims in VR or just a very quick shooter session).
Red Faction and GRID are easy enough on the battery, especially at 40 fps, and not too fussy about controls so they feel good with a controller (I felt a bit handicapped in Dirt Rally 2 and Project Cars 2).
In terms of emulation, I installed RetroDeck and tried Gran Turismo PSP but found that hard with the large stick and no analog controls for accelerate/brake Just putting some PS1 and PS2 games on it now, let’s see if those will be able to bump GRID and Red Faction from my frequented list:
- Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3
- Gran Turismo 4
Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Well, the demo honestly, which is relatively long. The game is releasing in a week! It runs relatively okay on the Deck while locked at 30fps.
Forza Horizon 4 currently
I’m playing EDF: World Brothers 2 with a friend, and also bouncing between Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Monster Hunter Rise.
I’m looking forward to getting back into Shadows of Doubt. It just came out of early access, and recent updates included a ton of steam deck optimizations and major improvements to controller support. There are some great user control profiles already available, but I look forward to being able to play it docked as well with a standard controller.
went back in cyberpunk. restarted with the mod to make ability checks static to get rid of the. not enough tech, level to increase tech, check is now higher and not enough tech thing. Man I wish they would make an update where you could skip the whole shard memories playing as silverhands in arasaka bombing thing. It would help a lot in replayability since no matter what you do its the exact same experience.
I’ll replay it too when I’ll get the expansion. Not sure about the screen size so I may jump back to the pc though
Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Dirt 4.
Nostalgia stuff: Crash Bandicoot PS1, Worms World Party PS1, NFL Street PS2, MX Superfly PS2, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition PS2, probably some others
