Fyi: hunter call of the wild does run well on the deck. It’s quasi realistic and quite peaceful hunting game that very gradually unlocks less realistic stuff to make hunting and tracking easier.
I bought: Duck detective https://store.steampowered.com/app/2637990/Duck_Detective_The_Secret_Salami/
Balatro https://store.steampowered.com/app/2379780/Balatro/
Powerwash Simulator https://store.steampowered.com/app/1290000/PowerWash_Simulator/
Animal Well https://store.steampowered.com/app/813230/ANIMAL_WELL/
Animal Well is one of the best games of the year. So good.
The less you know about anything going into it, the better.
This sale, only Sonic X Shadow Generations. I have a big payday in December though and will be buying a lot for Christmas.
Maybe Sonic is good again. I’d hope. I’ll buy Frontiers since I’ve tried to avoid spoilers for too long.
Psychonauts 2 is 90% off. Though it’s not Steamdeck verified it’s Linux native and should run pretty well.
Played through it on my Linux PC, worked flawlessly. Fantastic game!
I picked up this and Slime Rancher so far!!
Nowadays, I don’t even check if it’s SD compatible. I just check if it’s controller-friendly.
Protondb is the place to check.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Hopefully plays decently on the deck.
Doesn’t that require an external account and running the fucking Origin client on device? I’ve seen that go to ludicrous levels of discounts (currently at freaking 92% discount) but FUCK THAT!
I finished it on the Deck, it was basically perfect aside from achievements not triggering in the second and third games iirc. Modding it was a pain in the hole, had to essentially install the game on a windows machine, mod it and then transfer all of the files over. Not sure if anything has changed in the last year.
If I can walk away with only 1 or 2 games by the time the winter sale ends, my backlog will thank me.
I bought up Psychonauts 2 and Jedi Fallen Order for myself. A friend gifted me Astlibra (which I’m really excited about), and Brok the Investiagator.
I also gifted a copy of Shadows of Doubt and F.E.A.R. Hadn’t realized until after my friend tried it, but turns out F.E.A.R. is one of those games that runs perfectly on linux, but doesn’t run well on Windows anymore. Requires multiple patches to remove memory caps for windows, and even then it still has fps dips for some reason. Meanwhile linux/steam deck runs it perfectly.
Alien isolation Uncharted legacy of thieves Resident evil Bioshock infinite.
I’m just getting back into gaming after a twenty year gap so I’ve got loads to catch up on. I’ve been enjoying FPS stuff, but I’m frustratingly bad, even on easy mode. Need more time for practise but work long hours, ho hum. Hopefully I’ll find time to try all of the above. Recently finished bioshock original and loved it.
Picked up Crime Scene Cleanup yesterday and I’m enjoying it, so far.
SpiritFarer is an amazing deal if you haven’t played it yet. Super recommend it.
I finally bought Kingdom Hearts. The price is steep, let’s see if it pays off.
I just bought an og PS3, the one compatible with PS2 games. I’m gonna buy the Kingdom hearts games for PS2 I’m excited
gonna do what i always do; open up my wishlist of 300 items, cry, add 10 more things, get indecisive and close it
You forgot to add something to the cart and then remove it a few days later.
i would never do that looks at the five things i already have in my cart
Picked up Balatro and Dave the Diver.
If you enjoy Balatro, try Inscryption next. Don’t read anything about it, just hop in blind
love inscryption! It’s really unique and a lot of fun.
I was stoned af when I finally won my first run 5 hours into it, and my mind was absolutely blown
Oh boy, oh boy!
I finally bought Nine Sols.
You’re in for a treat! They just released boss rush too!
Just one game, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
Running that on PC and I recommend waiting until a few patches have been. Later in the game you run into game breaking issues.
I highly doubt this ancient game is getting any patches.
Do mods work on Linux? I haven’t played the older stalker games and I heard there is a big modding scene behind these games, wanting to try it out on my Linux rig
Not the guy to ask, not big into modding unfortunately
Are we now talking about the original stalker or the new one? I have had the old one working with mods but it needed a lot of love to get it working.
Yeah the original, i heard mods play a big role in keeping the original playable, not sure how accurate that is, but I’m excited to tinker and hopefully get it running
A year ago or so I played the originals on Linux with just a few mods don’t remember which ones. Only 2 or so nessesary ones. I also installed gamma and anomaly but I didn’t play those much, got them working though!
They are talking is about Stalker 1, you are talking about Stalker 2.
I figured because of the other response, thanks :)
