For me I’m currently trying to push my way through elden ring. But gosh it sure gets hard half way through, especially underleveled and offline. I need to find that mimic summon.
Other than that, cycling through local coop games like PlateUp. Any suggestions?
Blasphemous
Same, I was playing Death Stranding but I paused it because I’m hooked by Blasphemous.
Been playing some minecraft java editiom, since the 1.20 update just dropped.
Finished Witcher 3 main quest in Steam Deck (the font is so small on Deck)
Now got consumed by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Hades, Returnal, and Hi-Fi Rush at the moment.
I think Hades is exactly what the SD was made for.
Monster Hunter Rise, Underhero, and I just bought Halo MCC for my first ever Halo playthrough.
You’re in for a treat. MCC is good fun
I’ve been playing through Horizon Zero Dawn! Cryotools really helped stabilize the frame rate and I’ve been enjoying the crap out of it. I’m level 40 right now with about 25 hours in.
Oxygen not included
You play ONI on the Steam Deck? Does it work well?
I’ve played that also and it honestly does super well.
Into the breach. Such a simple yet perfectly thought out game, which you can easily sink a lot of hours into. It’s also cheap.
I just bought it, and am absolutely loving the art style and gameplay. I’m excited to see how the mechanics get more complex as I progress. 1.5 hours in and I’m hooked!
Also, got the recommendation to buy it from the fediverse so that makes it even a bit more sweet!
Diablo 4! I just can’t put it down!
Right now I’m half way through Final Fantasy VII Remake. I never played the original but have always heard good things about it. I unfortunately already know the big plot point about a certain character but so far I’m invested in the story!
I was playing Fire Emblem Engage (Lunatic/Classic difficulty), but then I started replaying Disco Elysium and got hooked on that one all over again. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it controls on the Deck – great way to kill time on the train!
I’ve been interested in trying Disco Elysium, good to know that it runs well on the Deck! You mentioned playing on the train - is it a good game to play in short bursts?
Hmm… I’d say you really need at least 20 minutes of time to have a properly satisfying session with Disco Elysium. That’s just fine for me because the train frequency in my city (Atlanta) is particularly shit, but results may vary otherwise.
One game I can recommend for play in short bursts is Slay the Spire. Even if you’re just sitting down for five mintues, you can usually manage to get something accomplished and ascend a few nodes.
You can definitely play it in bits if you’re able to follow the game log. It keeps track of all the conversations and bits that you need to remember.
There’s no action in the game, so there’s nothing you can’t just put down and pick up later, as long as you can remember what you were in the process of doing or where you were going.
I don’t have time for longer SD sessions so I only play like once or twice a week now, but halfway through Persona 5 Strikers (with the audio bug on Proton, sadly) and I REALLY want to finish so I can get to NEO: The World Ends With You, ever since I beat the DS original. …I end up procrastinating work with Youtube instead. Actually, for the past year or two, playing games feels like I’m being productive, comparative to scrolling online.
I just started a Terraria play through to play with the mod “starlight river”, it’s still early but really impressive so far
What’s that mod about? Maybe I should play it again
It adds a lot of stuff that isn’t exactly Terraria styled, including boss fights with their own set arenas

Edit: it’s still Alpha, expect bugs also AFAIK nothings post hardmode yet
Sweet ty!
BotW currently (gotta finish that before TotK), with some breaks for SnowRunner. I need to get back into Elden Ring before I forget how to play!
Horizon Zero Dawn. Almost through the main story.
I was having that crash almost every time i put the system to sleep. Are you not experiencing that?
Sometimes, but definitely not every time
