Warhammer Space Marine. Wanted to get into Warhammer and saw space Marines 2. The first one is good fun.
Sea of Stars went on sale and it’s fantastic.
Nine Sols!
Who would’ve guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck’s speaker is just so satisfying.
Haven’t been playing it much recently, but I’ve gotten to a point in Pokemon Unbreakable Ties where I’m stubbornly bashing my head against a wall to win a battle, so that’s off the table for a while.
And the only other games I’ve actually played recently are Yooka-Laylee (only 2 levels in due to exploration and a lot of goofing around), Baba Is You, and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. But I’ve only been playing a little bit since I’ve been busy enough.
Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?
Started playing Animal Well the other day. It’s quite good.
Dave the Diver!
It’s been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It’s a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that’s implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.
Shotgun King is definitely a fun game. The worst part about it is how I’ve played enough to where I’m stuck on one of the higher difficulties and and bored of it.
The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
That’s pretty high praise, I’ll check it out.
Ghost of Tsushima and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I finished the main story of both games yesterday but now I’ve got DLC to play.
Super Mario All Stars, just to spite Nintendo.
I’m replaying through the Metroid Prime Trilogy again, primehack is amazing.
I should pick that up again. I remember getting stuck somewhere in the first one.
Thronebreaker, Hogwards Legacy. I also started Bayonetta and recently finished (and real enjoyed) Hotline Miami 1 and 2. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 as well but my fps skills on a controller are so bad that it’s just too stressful.
How is Hogwarts Legacy nowadays ? I’m thinking to pick it up in the future but want to make sure it plays ok on deck.
Game updates did break the startup process once before. That was fixed after one or two days. In game the graphics are set to the lower settings but I don’t mind. I only notice slow loading textures from time to time.
When it comes to the content: I think the world building and the castle are well done. Missions and dialogs are quite dull though, aimed more at children. Still fun to play from time to time.
Yeah, I did hacking + smart weapons for my CP2077 playthrough so that almost no aiming is required. I imagine melee builds play fine as well.
In between
God of war (lowest settings capped to 30 due to the memory leak)
Bad North
Mini metro
Forza horizon 4
Fallout 4
Vampire survivors
The GoW memory leak shouldn’t be an issue once SteamOS 3.6 hits stable, it uses ZRAM which will keep the game from crashing the Deck.
I told my friend when I got my Deck I wouldn’t just use it as an emulation device…yeah I mostly use it for PCSX2
Been playing through Midnight Club 3 Remix the last week
ttyd switch, echoes of wisdom.
What emu are you using and how does it run ?
ryujinx literally minutes before it was shut down. on steam deck at least it seems impossible for the audio to stay in sync and occasionally you have to pause emulation and resume after the sound stops to bring it back in sync. Maybe a spot of lag or frame drop when some things happen for the first time, but mostly stable 30fps. I’ll probably switch to desktop once I have space to set it up if the audio desync doesn’t happen there.
