For me I’m currently trying to push my way through elden ring. But gosh it sure gets hard half way through, especially underleveled and offline. I need to find that mimic summon.
Other than that, cycling through local coop games like PlateUp. Any suggestions?
Blasphemous
Same, I was playing Death Stranding but I paused it because I’m hooked by Blasphemous.
I’ve been enjoying Diablo 4 on my Deck. Runs great and controls great.
Other than that I’ve been playing around with emulators to play some classic games I own that are not yet backwards compatible on my Xbox.
How was it getting it set up? I tried getting Hearthstone running several months ago and ran into some problems.
Pretty easy. You can install any launcher easily with this: https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck
For Diablo 4 you don’t want the high res textures. Put the settings on medium and set the FPS to 45 and you’re good to go.
For emulators you can easily install and set them up using https://www.emudeck.com/
I finally got totk running on Yuzu at a playable setting. But I’m 2/3 of the way through it on my switch lite. So torn on starting fresh on the deck or just finish it on the lite. The screen is so small and crappy compared.
Deck itself just started Hi-fi Rush. Such a cool game.
Been playing Deep Rock Galactic on the deck. Also finished up RimWorld recently, which actually worked pretty well on the deck.
How’s haz 5 with a controller? If I can viably have portable DRG I’m gonna take the dive and splurge on a deck lol
I usually play DRG with a controller, the controls aren’t bad! For the deck, I think it’s okay, switching weapons can get a little crazy because of the d-pad placement. The ergonomics can get a little awkward when it gets fast paced because of that. I usually play with a buddy who is way better than I am at DRG, so my answers are probably pretty biased, hah.
I have been playing Alan Wake remastered
Trying to get through all the games in that universe before Alan Wake 2 releases.
Oxygen not included
You play ONI on the Steam Deck? Does it work well?
I play it on Ubuntu with proton and it works perfectly well. It very very rarely crashes.
I’ve played that also and it honestly does super well.
Taking a break from hunting achievements in Hollow Knight and starting to get into Horizon Zero Dawn which I bought last Steam sale. The battery sure seemed to last a lot longer while playing Hollow Knight…
Dicey Dungeons, Streets of Rogue, Enter The Gungeon (its default controls are kinda weird though); I played Cassette Beasts for about 10 hours but then I got bored.
+1 for Dicey Dungeons. Playing it on the Steam Deck might actually be the ideal format, too. I don’t think I could have cleared the Witch campaign at all if I hadn’t broken that up into dozens of micro-sessions.
One thing I will lament, however, is the Steam Deck’s current poor support for Bluetooth headphones. Being forced to resync headphones constantly forces me to play on mute most of the time, but it’s practically a crime against fun to play without the Dicey Dungeons soundtrack.
I keep dedicated wired headphones for my Nintendo Switch and Steamdeck. As usual bluetooth ones for phones and tablets.
I was going to say I remember remapping the blanks to one button in EtG and also moving the map button around, but on SD, the back buttons must be great, since most of my playtime was before I got mine.
I’ve been playing through Horizon Zero Dawn! Cryotools really helped stabilize the frame rate and I’ve been enjoying the crap out of it. I’m level 40 right now with about 25 hours in.
Monster Hunter Rise, Underhero, and I just bought Halo MCC for my first ever Halo playthrough.
You’re in for a treat. MCC is good fun
As someone who has never played Diablo 4, I am enjoying it.

I’ve actually really gotten into the emulation scene, so I’m playing through Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and some Pokemon rom hacks rn. Also some Fallout New Vegas.
I’m playing Diablo 4, but not on Deck.
Finished Witcher 3 main quest in Steam Deck (the font is so small on Deck)
Now got consumed by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
recently finished Demon’s Souls on ps3 emulator, it’s originally a 30fps game so it ran just fine on steam deck!
