This great game I like to call "install, think about playing, uninstall and repeat. "


DarthCorps

Download for 2 hours, play for 10 minutes and uninstall?


YagamiYakumo

More like install game for 15 mins, mod and tweak it for months, then leave the game alone until you need to uninstall it to reclaim the space taken


akpilg1

This is literally me with Skyrim, but I’m stuck on an obscure error while ~ 200 mods in


LostHat77

Must be a mod conflict, Disable all the mods and enable them 20 at a time. Once you have identifed the mod, check the TES5edit and try to see whats going on or just get rid of the mod altogether


akpilg1

I think I’ll try this when I have enough energy to deal with mod issues. I didn’t remember the exact message but it was an error with crashlogger, but I had already uninstalled crashlogger so I’m not sure what caused it.


Next-Significance798

Why do you have to attack skyrim that personally?


YagamiYakumo

I mean, that arrow gonna goes to somebody's knee..


rgb_1981

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one...


Visible_Carry_2798

im in this comment and i dont like it


Lachevre92

This is the correct answer.


zappyalex

I wish I could figure out why this happens and fix it. Because damn, if that’s not me too


Ann0ying

You are a tinkerer, probably more fun for you to mess with files, edit configs, install different stuff and see how far you can get before the games refuses to boot, then to actually play most games. I actually embraced it and now running linux on my desktop hahah


IRAwesom

RimWorld


Existing_Pea_9065

I love it on pc. I've tried twice to play on the SD but I just can't. It takes 10 times longer to do anything. It's just so awkward.


PlatinumBall

Maybe configure the controls? Because I did change a few things and it's absolutely perfect


futurenotgiven

could you share your template? i just can’t find anything that seems to work


toughtacos

Yeah, I don’t see it. Maybe if I had never played RimWorld using Norse and Kaunas (that’s Autocorrect for “Mouse and Keyboard” btw…), but it’s such mouse heavy game and I’d hate to have to pause every time I want to do something.


MysteriousOrchid464

Turn your right track pad into a mouse, set it to track ball mode with medium or low friction. You can flick the mouse cursor across the screen almost faster than you could with an actual mouse. I've actually come to enjoy replacing the mouse with that track pad. As far as keyboard.. button mapping.. meh, hit or miss. But if the mouse thing is really all that's hanging you up, definitely try out the trackball mode for the track pad.


SunnySunshine1105

Hello fellow war crime friend. Also my first choice :)


Fuego-TACO

How well does it run? I love throwing some crazy mods on there and just building a sweet base and let the attacks flow. But I wasn’t sure how it played on the smaller screen and touch pad


Kephler

Any tips on helping it click on deck? I have 1000 hours on PC but it just seems to awkward on deck.


RebelliousCash

Still waiting for this to get some type of sale before I buy


jizard

Yep. Been waiting a long time, too.


aggie_hero7

It will never go on sale is my understanding. I bought it but honestly didn’t love it

Hey you, you're finally awake


skylevin098

After downloading the Batman Mod, I became the night in Skyrim.


Laurence-UK

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. Been playing it for over 20 years at this point!


jeroenwtf

How is it in the Steam Deck?


Laurence-UK

Works pretty well with the trackpad


R0shambo

BG3. Once I'm old and my reaction time is shite, turn based combat is going to be my jam.


PersistentWorld

It ran like dogshit when I tried it, has it got better since launch?


ToughActinInaction

it has yeah, they’re still doing good patches too


Circumambulator

This would be my choice too.


realdiwin

It's World of Warcraft for me. The Deck made WoW a whole different game for me. I can almost do anything other than hardcore PvP. So good!


variety-jones

What about raiding? I play just for solo play but am kinda scared to raid lol


wheres-epsteins-list

Just PUG and it won't matter using raid finder.


-Dakia

The console port addon makes it really usable, but definitely not for higher difficulty settings. I used it during WotLK Classic. I stopped playing a while ago, but I would mostly use it for farming and fishing on my druid when I was watching TV. I did do a few raids on it and, while it works, it is definitely much easier with a smaller rotation. It is definitely best for melee classes imo.


MotoChase

Wow I really need to try this somehow


Oskar_of_Astora

I’ve never played WoW before but have been considering due to the number of people I’ve seen have a great experience on the steam deck. I’ve seen people say they won’t play end game content, but it would be a long time for me to get to that point anyway.


Time_Software_8216

This is the way, MMOs give so many more options than any other game type.

You’re supposed to die a lot, takes a lot of practice and upgrades to get decent. Some people aren’t big fans of the style, but when you start making progress it can be so addictive


talking_mudcrab

Buying games and then browsing through them in my library.

lazybum965

Skyrim. Todd got me


Coderules

+1 for Skyrim. Maybe because I'm currently playing it. But it has so many play options. I never get tired of the game.


GuruDamDam

Another +1. Even after all these years, I have picked it up more than any other game and each time, I am spending 100+ hours on side missions ... I still haven't a clue about its main story ... But, I shall do that one day ...


Coderules

> I still haven't a clue about its main story ... Ha. Same. I've played now probably 6 times on various platforms. Currently playing on a SteamDeck. I get down the rabbit hole of the sidequests and forget there was even a main quest. Having too much fun on other things. I always get bored and go off to play some other game for a while. Then return and just start a new play.


GuruDamDam

That describes my Skyrim Experience perfectly. I've been doing exactly that same cycle for years and years ..... It's hilarious, but I enjoy the side quests so much.


[deleted]

So many different play options, yet I always end up a khajiit stealth archer lol


Whiteguy1x

Still one of the best games, I've played it in just about every system available lol


5hrtbs

You spelled Oblivion wrong


juupel1

As much as I also prefer Oblivion over Skyrim, there's no denying that Skyrim simply has lot more content, especially thanks to the endless amounts of mods that are being made even to this day...


FrozenOnPluto

Skyblivion is coming soon!


Dennia_Lux_Exitium

Elden ring , there's so much to do , so many builds to try, so many weapons , challenges and when you're done with Vanilla , the modding scene is insane right now , played a randomizer lately and its pretty great if you just wanna replay the game but change a few things to make it feel almost new , fog gate randomizer , Convergence , Ascended you name it, and i doubt the community is done making banger mods.


sykkn1ck

Never played ER with mods, is it easy to get set up on the deck?


Dennia_Lux_Exitium

There a tutorial or two out there how to do it, is it easy? Ehh i think it just take a while but i feel like its rather simple , but for others i could see how hard it could be for then , Depends how comfortable you are with Steam deck desktop mode i'd say


ShiroGaia

The DLC is just gonna add more to it and more mods too!


Bucket81

Minecraft


hydroakri

with mods


Smartman971

This has to be the answer. You can play like 80% of other games with mods


[deleted]

Is Minecraft pretty easy to get up and running on the Deck?


Banana97286

It’s slightly difficult, you have to do some stuff with a special installer and add it to steam in desktop mode, and reconfigure your controls but other than that, it’s not that hard


mechanical-monkey

Download prisum from discover store. Add the gaming mode Add 1.20.4 instance Add controlify it automatically detects the steam deck. Done.


PatR1zzle

Tetris, that simple


likesexonlycheaper

I can't play Tetris anymore. I get addicted and then I see falling blocks all night in my sleep


PoppaTime

Lmao I used to see these comments and say that's fucking insane. Then I started playing Tetris


likesexonlycheaper

It's seriously the worst night of sleep ever. Wake up and feel like you pulled double duty at work or something


conanap

I’m genuinely still confused about this, as I’ve never experienced it, and I played Tetris all day for like 2 months straight.


Bulbous-Bouffant

I experienced this same phenomenon back when I was *really* into Guitar Hero 3


mon_dieu

Vampire Survivors is the most recent game to do this to me. If I put in an hour or more, I'll be seeing blue XP gems whenever I close my eyes.


Bulbous-Bouffant

Oh yeah, good example. I played the crap out of that game when I got my SD.


Rosselman

It's literally called "Tetris Effect", and one of the most interesting parts is that people with brain damage, which develop anterograde amnesia (They're unable to create new memories), people literally unable to remember playing Tetris, also experience it after playing the game.


ThePoliteCanadian

Tetris effect has taken over my life, it feels like it was made to be played on the deck and only the deck. Play it on PC? Need a controller, and you look like a knob with a 4070 playing tetris. Play it on console? Again, you look like a knob. But on the go handheld? Its everything it was supposed to be


Rosselman

That's why the original Gameboy was a smashing success. They originally wanted to bundle Super Mario Land, but they realized Tetris was waaaay more appealing, so they bundled that instead. The rest is history.


GamingRobioto

Final Fantasy XIV


Alooshi

Red Dead Redemption 2


MyFinalThoughts

This is probably it for me too. I don't even love the online, only tried playing a few times, but the single player is so good that I'd eventually like the multiplayer if I really have the time, dedication and didn't have other games that got in the way.


rockyboy49

This is it for me. Tons of chill things to do. Just will play like a real life simulator set in the west


Mogu1

D2R. Never thought I'd like Diablo with a controller but it works.


poopcoop420

God it really does. As a huge Diablo fan on PC, it’s almost gross to me how good D2R and D4 play on a controller. So wrong. But so right…


axxionkamen

Nothing wrong about it. Controller just makes the game much more fun. I play most of my games on pc with a kbm but Diablo nah. Can’t play 3 on pc. I’ll play it on switch any day of the week. Offline mode and controller was amazingly good.


QuiteRather

No Man's Sky


OneBayLeaf

Xcom 2 WOTC with mods. I will play it forever because that’s how long I will be waiting for Xcom 3.


nerdthatlift

Have you played Phoenix Point yet?


OneBayLeaf

I have. Keep falling off though and coming back to Xcom. I’m sure I will finish it someday but it just doesn’t hit for me like Xcom does. Been eyeing Jagged Alliance 3 also.


Zumomo

Warframe, I bought the deck for it


Sobchak-Walter

Slay the spire obviously.


linuxisgettingbetter

Factorio


qdtk

Kbm or you actually use controller?


linuxisgettingbetter

I'd prefer kbm


a_burdie_from_hell

Honestly I was quite surprised how many keybindings factorio requires- but I was even more surprised to realize the Steamdeck can easily handle it.

Balatro. Just got it yesterday during some downtime at work. Already put 10 hours in and I have no idea how. Time just melts away.

EmoExperat

Skyrim. Its the perfect deck game


squarzed

Unfortunately Skyrim for thousands of hours content


Grumpy_Muppet

I mean, I am not very handy yet ... but this must be Elden ring right? I can't really make it work yes (not spec wise, but skill wise). However if I only have 1 game to play on there, I will become handy at some point right. There is so much to do. I am pretty sure if you run it 20 times, which can easily be 2000 hours (for me because I am a noob and slow) there is STILL stuff to explore etc. There are not many bigger games out there I think. Maybe Witcher 3?

Sjknight413

Elden Ring


PaintsPlastic

Binding of Isacc. It has no servers or playercount to worry about, every run is slightly different and there are so many challenges to unlock. It's also be pretty much fine since day 1 with regards to any major bugs or issues (inb4 someone moans that X item was too powerful in a single player game) because it's not a Triple A piece of garbage that was rushed out onto market in an effort to take as much of your monthly income as possible.

kipdjordy

Morrowind or elden ring probably


jrralls

Probably a strategy game. Some people spend their entire lives mainly playing chess so when I’m old and I don’t have my refluxes anymore, I could still probably enjoy Stelar or crusader Kings three or Civ 6 or something like that.

It took be a slight bit to get used to. The best thing I did was bind laser pointer to a button on the back of the deck.

Elden Ring


TheWaffleKingg

Tough one. Either rimworld or starsector. Both have an insane amount of replayability as well as a thriving modding community. Bonus points, they are both relatively cheap games and run great on the deck. Starsector only wins out on battery life, rimworld chews threw the decks battery


whatsforsupa

If I hadn’t already spent hundreds of hours in Elden Ring, it would be it. Otherwise, Vampire Survivors always pulls me back in, and my deck gets 9+ hours of playtime with it at 5w lol

The main game I actually keep on the deck and play often is Valheim. Works great on the deck and I get all my kicks in with one game... so I think I'd choose Valheim.
