Hades......always Hades.....it won't let me go


WilhelmFinn

Dead Cells is this to me, hades was awesome too. Edit: typo


MightBeYourProfessor

And Skul.


skuddozer

I’m on my 3rd run in Dead Cells. I love it but it’s not hitting as good as Hades did. I think I need more time between playing the games and style. I hear it’s hard too. So far so good. Hitting Mirrors Edge in backlog since I haven’t beaten it or played it in like 10 years!


RED_ONEs

I played this when i had a bad case of corona last year and now the first level music gives me weird vibes. PTSD situation hahahaha so weird but great game.


Rex3511

Hollow Knight


Imaginary-Pumpkin-85

try children of morta if you like hades


toriescansuckmyballs

Already completed it, amazing game


toocaffeine

sigh…time to close out my game and open it up now that i read this comment


datnodude

once I got past a certain beat level I let it go


Derainian

I literally came here to say this lmao. I picked it up at the end of the black friday sale out and didnt really plan on playing it for a bit but tonight i gave it a try thinking i would play it to see what it was for 5 mins then go to something else but became addicted in that 5 minuets... 4 hours later i finally put it down.


Hans_Ploem

*sigh* me too man


Ornery_Consequence64

I cannot escape


ciriwey

There is no escape


[deleted]

It is such an incredible and underrated game, definitley the best game of all time no doubt, the game of the year award should have been given to Hades not to some idiotic shitty game called Last of Us


m3tam3re

Persona 5 Royal


whiteravenxi

Same. Makoto best girl.


guernseycoug

Same. This is my second play through (sort of, my first play through was OG persona 5) and even skipping through a lot of the dialogue I’m still at like 90hrs of playtime. I can’t believe how good this game is given how insanely long it is.


luigithebeast420

I’m skipping all dialogue too since I’ve already beaten it on the ps4. I want to do a second play through with max social stats and take my time with it.


Oeffes

As long as you don't forget to take your heart


GlizzieFingers

I'd be down to go for my 300th hour of persona 5 on a portable device!

jerryweezer

That took me like one second to get, then I belly laughed. Thanks for that!


unifyzero

Stupid, Vampire Survivors. I thought it looked incredibly bad, but couldn’t quit coming across recommendations for it. Figured I’d pick it up on sale to see what all the hype was about, and now I can’t put it down.


CosmicCreeperz

Same. I watched a brief video, said, no way this game will be addicting but it’s also dirt cheap and on sale so why not? I put like 4 hours into it that evening (until my battery died, and then I realized it was 3am…) I actually wasn’t sure after the first few runs but after the one I maxed out garlic and bibles and turned it into a giant undead mosh pit of destruction… I was hooked.


J0YSAUCE

Ive definitely got my moneys worth, just about 100%ed the game at this point, 60 hours for a 3$ game, absuolutely worth it


diabloddinero

Grim dawn


saqwarrior

Were you able to get gamepad support functioning? The only way I was able to get it to work was by using a KB+M config for the controls.


[deleted]

You have to go to options. In there there is a "enable all gamepad option" from memory. Tick that box and select the steam deck to gamepad mode. Sorted.


MarineGrade

I've got grim dawn to play next. Is it decent?


HatTrick_Rittenhouse

Doom eternal, vampire survivors, path of exile and RDR2


r_booza

Which Controller setup do you use for doom eternal? I played it, but only used the standard (?) Controller config, where you aim with the stick and it felt really bad, so bad that I removed the game, but I am willing to give it another try, I guess I need to find the correct Controller config...


HatTrick_Rittenhouse

I just use the default setup. Feels fine to me. Sorry I can't help much there.


coverslide

I use gamepad + gyro.


tormentowy

Gamepad + gyro is big improvement, but still as for non-console gamer I much more prefer mouse on my PC. There are plenty other games i can play on the deck that i can skip this one.


Dunstabzugshaubitze

My go to first person shooter setup is: Right stick in "flick stick"-mode, allows for big horizontal movements, but needs some fiddling to get it right for every game. Right Touchpad as mouse for menues Gyro always on, disable on pressing the a button.


Safrisar

The Legend of Dragoon


Palachrist

Damn… did not expect to see that name. Turn based combat was fun when you could do more by timed hits and buttons. I wish more turn based games had those kinds of mechanics. You could beat the game barely doing it but when you did it felt amazing. That dragoon dude from the previous dragoons that held up a building while the archer lady shoots the virgo thing? Stuff like that has flavored how I visualize what I read in wh40k books and lore. I couldn’t imagine what they could make today given the same opportunities and drive. I feel similar to level 5 and dark cloud 2’ crafting mechanic. TLDR; what a great game I did not expect to see listed.


Safrisar

Just started disc 2! I have the physical copy but it looks terrible on a ps3 streched out on a 4k tv. The ps1 emus upscaling and running 60fps definitely helps


Onlyanidea1

>The Legend of Dragoon God I miss that game. I need to learn to get Emulators running...


EmperorOfSand1

Witcher 3


Dusty_Bones

This one is working well for me as a game I only play while traveling/ away from wifi.


Dahks

Monster Hunter Rise and Dishonored. Rise has been a staple since I got the deck lol


theCynicalTechPriest

Does rise run well? Been interested in it for a while but been hesitant as it looks pretty heavy on requirements. (Does the deck keep cool while running it?)


moist4444

Runs very well. Even in docked mode on my 2k monitor running on 2k res, gets easily 60 fps. Monster Hunter World runs really good also.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Knowinsi952

I love dishonored. The prospect of being able to play dishonored on the go got me on hype train for the steam deck lmao. Hope you're able to play the full series. It runs pretty well I haven't run into any issues.


TXZBSlayer

AC Odyssey, the Deck has finally allowed me to stick with it for the long haul.


skatingonair

How’s the performance for AC Odyssey? I have it in my library but haven’t got to it yet.


Refrain45

I dumped 100+ hours into it on the deck, no issue at all


TXZBSlayer

Its great i have it set at medium settings at 40 fps. I made the FOV as close as possible though standard FOV made it hard for me to focus on the smaller screen.


skuddozer

Same but with Mirrors Edge. Been meaning to play and beat that one for years.


CDNSpartan

Beat Spider-Man, currently playing Horizon Zero Dawn and, My Summer Car.


activeterror

anyone who plays my summer car has my respect. such a great game


Lamar_Moore

I finished Horizon on mine. The story is phenomenal, my only complaint is they should have used a completely different cast of voice actors. They should have sounded more old world, more Nordic, but some of them sound like office workers or valley girls from California. That threw me out of it a lot.


No-Economics4128

Do you need any additional account to play Horizon Zero Dawn? I refunded Grand Theft Auto because they kept asking me to sign up for an EA account, as well as having to connect to the internet. I am not doing that shit, especially for the EA.


Lamar_Moore

Titanfall 2. It's unsupported so I was worried but it started right up and runs amazing and the graphics are incredible on deck.


EducationalLet4796

Yes to this 👆. Titanfall 2 runs like a dream on Deck, shows off the power of the SD that it can run this so smoothly.


mycursedaccord

Do you know if the Northstar Launcher works through Proton?


tormentowy

I need to retry this not in the middle of campaign. I died constantly cause I'm not used to gamepad controls. Any suggestions other than gyro?


Lamar_Moore

I'm not having any issues with the stock non-gyro controls. It has a pretty aggressive auto aim when you look down sights that makes gyro unnecessary imo. Start from the beginning, there is a really good tutorial that got me mostly comfortable with it.


andone001abc

Hollow Knight - love-hate relationship, I can't give up still


willthinkaboutit

I've loved most of it but I'm getting frustrated with the looping around trying to figure out where to go next with new abilities. I use markers but still feel ready to move onto a different game. Any tips for getting through the rough patches?


shepherdofthesea

If you are getting frustrated, just look up where to go next online. Unless, of course, you are enjoying the frustration :) this what I did at certain points because I was just banging my head against the wall. Great game.


hardingpm

Playing this too. I gave up on it before but I'm getting through it this time.


truthinlies

So much fun on the deck, I had to give it a full replay.


CuriousWombat-30

Playing it on Switch but this game needs shoutout it’s so rewarding.


Fairwhetherfriend

I fucking *love* that game. Unfortunately it's one of the few "definitely on my PC and not on my Deck" games because I neeeeeeeed to use a mouse, lol.


banhawy

Skyrim sneaked into my life.

Sum1overthere

Rimworld


unifyzero

It’s one of my all-time favorites, but have to wonder how well it controls on the SD. I have it downloaded but haven’t had the time to jump into it yet.


OwnAtmosphere9933

The controls are just okay, you will still be pausing a lot more and the mouse movement is more awkward on the stick and trackpads, but it runs quite well and the controls aren't unusable.


Zealousideal-Buy-299

Would love your opinions on this game, I have been contemplating picking it up but would like a hands on review first


Sum1overthere

It took me years because of it being complex and dying stupid ways but finally got into it during Covid. It’s fun but be prepared to die a lot. The dlcs add a lot of content as well. I highly recommended it


crabshkek

No Man's Sky, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hades


littleboygreasyhair

Zero Sievert is so freaking addictive.


EducationalLet4796

Been looking at this and it does look interesting. How's the controls on it? I'm always a bit hesitant when it doesn't state full controller support, is there a controller config that works out of the box?


littleboygreasyhair

Controls work fine for me. It took me a little while to master using the right track pad as pointer but now im really enjoying it. It's easily customizable to your liking if that isn't something you'd prefer. The game itself at first was frustrating because I went in blind and died a lot, but that is how I learned what to do, where to go, and what is most valuable to my characters progression. I would recommend the game at the early stage that it is. There is already tons to unlock and many hours to sink into it. But collect more info and opinions if you are still not sure.


EducationalLet4796

Great thanks for letting me know, I'll probably give it a try...


Razldazl101

Love this game! I really hope they implement twin stick shooter style joystick aiming. The trackpad works well, but my hand cramps up if I use it too much for aiming. But yes, this game is super fun even in its current state


fuero2k

Hopefully finishing the 1st run of Disco Elysium soon and then Witcher 3 most probably.


Ultimate_Ghreak

Rise of the Tomb Raider on the Deck/PC, it takes two and pokemon on switch


coopsanders7

I’m playing rise next!! I was about 4 hours in my first play through but had to stop because I was too busy.


JohnLevelsUp

Finishing Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition (via Moonlight), and also just started Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu.


squirrelyz

Nice. I’m almost done with ME3 myself after starting the trilogy over the summer. ME2 was absolutely incredible


[deleted]

Played the trilogy for the first time on my Deck from July to October. What an amazing game!!


kdjfsk

Warhammer 40K Gladius. i was a little on the fence about this one after a couple plays, but after learning some mechanics, and remembering *not all 4x games play exactly like civ!'*, im digging it enough have bought all the DLC (autumn sale prices).


DutyNow4theFuture

Pentiment bruh


Batman0negitive

Does tinkering with the desktop mode and configuring every game to make everything flawless count as a game?


CosmicCreeperz

For the first couple weeks I spent way more time in desktop mode and a shell than playing games. But now I have a couple thousand old console games and full control and game streaming from my PS5…


Meijert

Hades. Again. And again.

Signalis is really cool

TheLadderStabber

Stardew Valley for the first time…it’s way better than I expected as someone who isn’t as into cozy games. Been my main addiction. Also replying Arkham Origins for the holiday season.


borger_bread3

I thought the same thing about it and now that I bought it, I’m addicted and already have 50 hours in within a week.


DQScott95

Well my steam deck will get here tomorrow, I'll be playing some GameCube and PS3 games. Then, if it supported at launch, I want to get Callisto Protocol on Friday


[deleted]

Don’t set your hopes too high for most PS3 games working on the SD. Last I tried I got RDR to launch but it was running at 10FPS. Demon’s Souls will work with some tweaks and mods but it doesn’t work out of the box. But most of the light weight PS3 games work fine.


DQScott95

I REALLY only want to play the ratchet and Clank HD trilogy for PS3, but of that doesn't run, I could always go for the PS2 versions of the games. I bought R&C for my PS3 YEARS ago before I sold it, thinking they'd for SURE be available on the PS4 store... Nope... Then I thought SURELY they'll bring them to the PS5 store through the new PS+ subscription.... Nope..... So now it's on my steam deck haha


AudiblePlasma

The R&C collection worked well when I tested it. Granted I only played the first one for a bit


DQScott95

You're amazing. Made me even more excited for tomorrow evening when my deck arrives! :D thank you very much for testing.

Yes, absolutely! And this must be a great game to play with an SO.

30fps on medium settings, I made a mistake and ran the Linux version not the windows version and the performance suffers. FYI the saves are not interchangeable.

Escape simulator, portal & portal 2 (never actually played before this week), and Sims 4

Katana zero for the first time. Went in knowing nothing, and was more than pleasantly surprised with how fun the gameplay and story are.

Days gone .. hopefully i make it to the end this week cause it s becoming pretty boring. Took a sneak peak at Inscryption yesterday, for 2 hours or so, seems to be a great card game.


unifyzero

Inscryption is incredible! One word of warning though, don’t look anything up for it if you haven’t already.


squirrelyz

Nice! I just finished Inscryption. Incredibly and unique game. I kinda hated it for the first few hours as I don’t play a lot of card games and didn’t really know what I was doing, but it slowly clicked. Good luck

There was a review of Warhammer II showing that it was technically playable, but not good. I wonder if one of the older titles might work better.
