This is a great question! A few from the top of my head:

The original Assassin’s Creed: I would never have the patience to play something like this on my PC. It is too repetitive and basic for me to enjoy while the rest of my PC is available. On Steam Deck though, I loved playing this in bed as a way to turn my mind off and just enjoy a simple story / game. I had a similar experience with the 2008 Prince Of Persia reboot. I 100% completed both, something I would never do on PC or TV console.

Undertale I also enjoyed way more during my second playthrough on Steam Deck. I think it has something to do with being fully immersed and again, playing from the comfort of my bed.

Also Slay The Spire, I got reasonably into it on a pirated copy on PC, then played it for hundreds of hours on the switch, then finally got a steam deck and it was the first game I bought for it, now sitting at 700h on Steam alone. So I went from piracy to actually owning the game twice :).

Any visual novel like Steins;Gate, Zero Escape series, Danganronpa… I would never be able to complete these games on PC or console.

What I notice, is that longer games mostly only work for me portably, because of the way you can sneak in extra hours on a portable machine. Time spent playing on TV or PC is always quite scheduled, and I often feel like I don’t want to waste it on a single experience for too long.

Galaxy is so great. Good flow, good looking, excellent music with a mix of epic and ambient… And a new character that got more personality from a short story and a couple dialogues than any character from the series ever had.

Too bad they never really knew what to do with her after that. Except Ubisoft with Mario + Rabbids 2, but… Meh.

Good point about the music, it really was quite memorable!

It sucks how little they’ve used her. It feels like theres more they could have done outside of galaxy, even not in a starring role

brsrklf,

Yeah, completely. Pauline’s got her time in the limelight right now, between Odyssey and DK Bananza, but Rosalina was just relegated to “bonus Peach clone that can do a swirl attack” in 3D World, and that’s basically it.

My controversial Mario takes is that i don’t really care for Pauline. I don’t hate her, but i also can’t find it in me to get excited about her either. But yeah, Rosalina really has been a extra peach clone for the most part which is a shame

Slay the Spire. Never really got into it until I installed it on my Steam Deck.

I know it is a bit of a silly answer but here we go:

My brother had installed a game-boy emulator on the family PC when my parents had prohibited gameboys from the house. My older siblings bought some though and hid them, but i was too young for that. (They also didn’t tell me).

Anyways, so at the time Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire was the hot shit. I played Ruby on the emulator and i loved it. There was just one problem. The “nebula” animation that is transparent in the gameboy version was solid in the emulator. When i entered a cave i had to find a way to pass it blindly. This was before we had proper internet access at home, so i couldn’t look up the cave layout.

I had to gave up after the second gym or so. When i got older and my grandma bought me a gameboy, i played Ruby like crazy as i finally could progress.

Played a few of the lego games with my kids, like avengers and Harry potter. They have heaps of save points and were easy enough for my 5yr old to get through but still fun for me as well.

Lol don’t think I’ve played one. What would you recommend as the first?

I would have said Super Mini Mart when I started this thread but then @Kolanaki mentioned Supermarket Simulator and I've been playing it ever since (13hrs so far lol). It's got a few issues out of the box, including some oddly loud chirpy bird sounds but also has such an active nexus mod community that you can pretty much fix anything you want that you don't like in it (including those damn birds😆). Id' say give either that or Super Mini Mart a go. The inKonbini prologue demo is great too.

I can't wait to play this on my steam deck. The emulators are almost there :)

God, I’m so damn excited for this to get an Emulator to play it on. I’m wondering it being so similar to the Switch 1 will speed up the process because of the similarity or not

After looking at the game’s page, I’d say you could try Raft. It’s a generally chill survival/crafting game with multiplayer co-op. There is wildlife that can present a threat, but it’s definitely not as horror-y as 99 days looks.

Modern_medicine_isnt,

we have put many many hours into raft. Also satisfactory, minecraft, tf2 (though my wife doesn’t like that one :)). I am open to more options as well.

What is 99 days in the forest, for those of us who have never looked at a Roblox game?

Modern_medicine_isnt,

Well I haven’t actually played it. But you start out in the center of a forest. You have a fire. You collect would to level up the fire. That opens more space in the forest… you collect things, level up things, find things… there is a random deer that attacks you at night or something. And some wolves at some point. But unlike raft, satisfactory or Minecraft it is a shorter overall play through. And the forest is different each time. So you play until you die or win. But it doesn’t let you save, which is annoying for me, even if a play through should only take an hour or so.
I am open to other ideas as well. We have put many many hours into raft. Also satisfactory, minecraft, tf2 (though my wife doesn’t like that one :) )

Creativity,

I can’t think of any short playthrough games off the top of my head, but Valheim might work if you’re open to something longer.

cwista,

Sounds like Don’t Starve Together
