To clear my backlog a bit I recently played Little Kitty, Big City, Smushi Come Home and now Paper Trails. Currently more on the ‘cosy train’ of games. I think Little Kitty, Big City was the first game I played on the Deck that implements the Steam Input API.
NEVA. SIFU is up next, got it free a couple days ago! Been mostly playing on desktop lately though (FFXVI)
Need for Speed Heat. I forgot how much fun the NFS games could be. Plus it looks gorgeous both docked and undocked.
I’m also working my way through the Yakuza series, about ⅔ through Kiwami 2 at the moment.
NFS Heat is my favorite one. Good soundtrack, and the different track types and gameplay between day and night really keeps it interesting.
The Talos principle 2. I liked the first one but this one is so much better.
It runs great on SD except I would prefer some text to be larger. It is readable it’s just a bit uncomfortable for my eyes.
I’ve found the deck magnification shortcut to be unhelpful when I’ve used it - often because the resolution of the text isn’t high enough for it to look legible when blown up.
My 11 year old brother was told he can’t beat DOOM Eternal on Ultra Nightmare (1 life mode) given only 100 hours of playtime. I told him there’s absolutely no chance he can do that if he’s on Xbox or PS, and to prove it to him I’ve been letting him try on my Steam Deck which is essentially a console controller++
Credit where it’s due, he’s great with the thumbsticks but he’s changed difficulty from Nightmare to Ultra Violence a few too many times to instill any confidence that he could do this lol
Isles of Sea and Sky, Logiart Grimoire and Persona 3 Reload.
All feel like they’ve been made for deck. Great games, too.
I’ve fired up What Remains of Edith Finch and handed it to my teenaged niece. That seems to be going well.
I’m playing some Unicorn Overlord, it took a while to kick in but now I’m totally hooked.
Mother 3 fan translation, gives me 7 hours of battery :) always loved Earthbound so it’s nice to finally play the “sequel”
Bit late to the party but slay the spire and dredge
I decided to stop playing Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga because the game became too tedious and I wasn’t having as much fun with it. A shame because I loved M&L Dream Team and wanted to start from its roots.
Now currently playing Sea of Stars and Hades.
Helldiver’s 2, witcher 3, and hades.
Inscyption, dredge, ufo50, hades
I’ve been swept up by Palworld. I started my own server up for my partner, myself and some of my friends. My partner and I played most of last night waiting for the ball to drop. I may have gone a little overboard trying to breed the perfect Pals.
I recently started Bombrush Cyberfunk and I’m enjoying it. The combat isn’t great, and the music doesn’t work as well as the original JSR soundtrack, but otherwise it’s really good and I recommend it.
