I wanted something fast : Aperture Desk Job is a great game to showcase the Steam Deck ! Only 30 minutes.
Currently playing The Messenger for the first time non stop ! The colors and black screens are great on the Deck. Loving it !Heroes of Hammerwatch on the lcd. OLED is in UK Shipping Hell.
Not just UK… I’m elsewhere in Europe and since Sunday “The parcel is on its way to the final parcel center.” In GLS tracking. But I don’t have an LCD… So I have to make do with my ps5 or my PC.
What settings you running for black mesa? Runs really poorly on my deck
You’ll want to change the compatibility for Black Mesa.
In your Steam Library go to Black Mesa > hit the gear icon > select ‘Properties…’ > Compatibility > and check “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”
Either select Proton Experimental or Proton 8.0-4 (latest ver.)
After that you’re solid. I had no problems running the game on ‘High’ for the Earth levels. Performance took a hit from Xen to the end though, so may want to drop it down to ‘Medium’ after that.
60fps & native resolution?
I played through Portal
Mine was Transformers Destruction
Inscryption! The perfect game for the deck
On my OLED? Nothing since I work 12 hour shifts 🫠
Resident evil 4 remake. It runs good if you are not using scopes
Boltgun
Cult of the Lamb, such a good game!
Fallout new vegas was my first
Undertale
Hades. Finished the main story :)
I got my Deck June 22 and even though I’ve been a gamer since early 90s I’ve never finished Half-Life 2, so my first actually was that!
Portal 1, then neon white, then witcher 3.
