Due to Long Covid I can only lay in bed and most games are too intense for me. So I actually do watch let’s plays.
I really like Welonz. She has a really nice mix of indies and big titles, regularly tries out a great variety of games. She is very thorough and while she might not find all the secrets she will go out of her way to show alternate endings and stuff. And she has an interesting voice, so rumor has it that she is actually a ten year old boy.
While I have no problems with let’s plays, I still feel like they’re kinda subjective. No commentary playthroughs are on the opposite end of the spectrum but I feel really really bored watching them and I can’t say the same for let’s plays.
If it’s only for one game, you could probably try cloud gaming. I gave a friend of mine who wanted to play Death Stranding 2 but has no PS5 access to remote play, and it seems to be working OK. Some of the services work on phones or TVs.
Also, my condolences on selling your pc. I hope it helped your situation a bit.
Hopefully so, the gaming market in my area has gotten rough. Maybe it’ll calm down for the future but that’s likely not gonna happen too soon. I’m thinking of passing the time without a PC for now. I don’t think I’ll able to afford a PC for a few years at best. Sorry for making it sound too dramatic in the post.
I loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, it was my intro to the series and still one of my favs. I woild also recommend something a little more sandbox, like Minecraft or Lightyear Frontier, just for the sheer time sink these games can be. Farming and building can make you lose track of hours at a time, great for travel.
I could also recommend something like Be my Hoard. Trying to get over an hour on a run is a fun way to burn an hour, if you like rouge-lite styles.
If you like driving, something like American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator is another great time sink.
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to try and figure out what Minecraft is about and I don’t even think about the truck simulators, I’ve been curious about them.
There’s a similar, open-source game, https://www.luanti.org/ (until recently, known as Minetest). It doesn’t have as many mods in 2025 as Minecraft does, but you might also enjoy it.
I really want to get into Minecraft but every time I open it I don’t know what to do but dig a hole directly down into the ground. Is there some guide on how to play the game or something to understand it better?
To elaborate on this… phone emulation isn’t just for retro classics. Many phones will have enough power to emulate modern Switch games, and semi-modern games up to Wii/3DS or so. Many modern games are also portrd to phones (Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Wild Rift, Fortnite, etc).
Sorry to hear OP is having such a hard time, but SBC gaming is another option if there’s enough of a budget for that. Retroid Pocket 4 Pro (£120 on eBay, upto Wii/3DS/manySwitch), or Retroid Pocket 5 (£190 on eBay, up to PS3 and all of Switch).
It’s…not great. But it’s one of those “not great” games I can’t seem to stop playing. It’s a mech based extraction shooter. The shooting is floaty and all over the place, the loot is either materials for making things or crystals that become currency once you extract.
I have played Stardew Valley before, but not on Steam. I got it on Nintendo Switch and liked it, but now I have a Steam Deck that I like even more. Haven’t picked up SV yet because I don’t like buying things twice…
Stardew is always a good one and uses very little battery. Noita and Streets of Rogue have been fun too, and are also easy on the battery (pixel art roguelites).
I love the Deus Ex series and Human Revolution is worth checking out; even if you haven’t played the prior ones. It’s been a while since I played through it but I remember being drawn to the story and liked the stealth aspects.
The new System Shock remake is also great and is decent on my Steam Deck battery.
