Of games that I've ONLY played on the SteamDeck, I think Dead Cells is probably my favourite.

Really enjoying Stranded: Alien Dawn! 3D Rimworld in a nutshell lol that or Songs of Syx!

Tried Hollow Knight for the first time on the Deck, it works so well!

I’m not even specially good at gaming but I thought Hornet (a Hollow Knight boss) was quite enjoyable and not that hard and I wonder if it has to do with the Deck controls, since everyone has mentioned how difficult that one is (I did find all other bosses very difficult so this is not a boast).

Edit to mention that Horizon: Zero Dawn is another one that I only tried with the Deck and it also works really well, though this one consumes a lot more battery compared to HK.

I am going to sound like an unpopular opinion but some games are just easier without keyboard and mouse. I personally have a controller for these games.

Edit: Xbox one with usb(faster latency)

Interesting. Which controller?

Aggy,

I'm not OP, but I use an Xbox one controller.

The newer ones just use Bluetooth and these days my primary gaming computer is a laptop. Works fantastic, just plug and play really.

@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

Thanks!

I've been hearing that those Xbox controllers work very seamlessly with PCs. I'll probably buy one soon. I'll use it with MAME and some Steam games.

theangriestbird,

just want to say, if you have the choice to buy either the Xbox One or the newer Xbox Series controllers, it’s worth it to go for the newer one. Some of the buttons (the bumpers in particular) are way better on the newer controller.

theangriestbird,

yep! i’ve got that Lunar Shift one, it looks pretty sick. Not like “i would pay extra money for this” sick, but you know.

Disagree on HZD unless there were significant updates. I was around halfway through the game when I bought my deck, loaded it up on there to see how it ran, and uninstalled after about 15 minutes of never being able to make it over 15 FPS on lowest settings.

It's playable, if stuttery, in town and in cutscenes. When you start combat it becomes a PowerPoint. Which is a shame, because I really really liked that game, but I finished it on PC instead.

Monster Hunter Rise has been scratching that particular genre itch for me on the Deck though. Rise was built for the Switch so it plays on the Deck like it was born there. Smooth as butter.

aeki,

Now that I think about it, I had to tweak some settings for HZD according to some guide, but I don’t remember exactly what I did. After that, it worked quite well. Perhaps it wasn’t 60 fps but 40? For me that was good enough.

It could still depend on standards. For example people seem to say Rimworld is great on the Deck but I absolutely disagree.

Torx screws and threaded inserts is not really that much effort engineering side.

It has more significant impact on the cost. Millions of torx screws and threaded inserts cost more than self tapping Phillips into plastic.

LoamImprovement, do gaming w Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

Bloodstained is a top contender, I can’t say I first discovered it on the Deck, but it just feels right on a handheld, in a way that it didn’t with controller on desktop, and the Switch just isn’t good enough to run it at a passable framerate.

Mostly I’ve used the Deck to continue playing my primary games on the couch or on the go. Elden Ring and RDR2 look and play fantastically once you tweak them a bit.

Smaller games usually run perfectly out of the box. The only ones I’ve played exclusively on Deck so far are Super Pilot (indie F-Zero), Ultimate Chicken Horse (Mario Maker-ish), and Mark of the Ninja.

I’ve had Slay the Spire in my Library for a while, but only got hooked on it when I tried it on Steam Deck.

When I got my Steam Deck at launch, the first game I was hooked on was Elden Ring, which came out around the same time. I first started it on my PC, but got frustrated by the huge lag spikes. Thankfully, those aren’t a thing on Steam Deck!

riquisimo,

Slay the Spire had been in my library a while, waiting for me to pick it up. I’m planning on getting an OLED, excited to try it out.

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@kbin.social avatar

Once you get bored of the base game, Slay the Spire also has an extremely robust and high quality modding community. I got around 200 hours out of the base game and then an additional 250 on top of that out of modded classes and setting overhauls.

StS: Downfall in particular is extremely high quality and was in fact so popular that it got its own Steam store page, like a free DLC would. Highly recommend.

The messenger and stardew valley are perfect steam deck games. I suspect hades is too but I put too many hours into it on PC before I got the deck.

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@kbin.social avatar

Hades is a killer game for the Deck, I just can't get used to using stick controls. I put like 280 hours into M+K, it's a hard habit to break and Heat 11 isn't exactly the best place to learn a new control scheme.

My partner loves it though. They started the game on the deck so the learning curve is easier.

Fallout 4 for me was great on the deck. I’ve had it for years but only when I got the deck did I actually play it.

Also streaming Baldur’s Gate 3 has been fantastic as well.

riquisimo,

Oooh, I forgot you could stream from your PC to the deck!

Ya from the title I expected OP to be complaining because they don’t own a torx head screwdriver/bit.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Was expecting the same and I didn't even know they switched to torx. Philips screws are bad. I go out of my way and spend extra money to avoid them.

Are rants inherently negative?

Perfide,

By definition, no, but most people probably assume negativity when they hear the word rant.

theangriestbird,

rant /rănt/ intransitive verb

  1. To speak or write in an angry or emotionally charged manner; rave.
  2. To express at length a complaint or negative opinion.

Nah, definition 1 right there isn’t inherently negative. It’s certainly more involved than otherwise necessary and seems somewhat driven by emotion, so while it skips the negative connotation I think this counts plenty well.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I think of a rant more as a long-winded statement that most people would agree with. Sort of a “off my chest” kinda thing.

los_wochos, do gaming w Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

By now I have put it down but I was seriously hooked on Kingdom two Crowns for the last weeks. Very addictive and easy going yet still challenging little game.

Entropy,

That game is soooo good. The expansions are great too. I bought it on sale forever ago and never played. Booted it up on a whim randomly a few months ago and was totally consumed. Beat it so many times that I started researching speed run strats to see how fast I could beat it (which I never do). Can’t seem to beat it before the first winter like some people can, but I’ve beaten it just after so I’m happy.

Edit: also, fun fact, it has cross save support for the android version so you can continue your games on the go if you don’t have your deck on you.

State of decay 2. I never really got into it until I got the deck.
