I'm replaying through the Metroid Prime Trilogy again, primehack is amazing.
I should pick that up again. I remember getting stuck somewhere in the first one.
i just added Luigi Mansion 2 HD and it work flawless with Yuzu
Dave the Diver!
Untitled Goose Game. Silly fun.
I tried Satisfactory, but the controls just aren't (yet) made for a controller.
Dang. I wanted to try Satisfactory on it.
There's a profile I tried on my desktop during update 8 that wasn't terrible on an xbox controller, it's surprisingly playable imo, works well with action groups, probably be way nicer on the deck with something like rotary menus on the trackpads and using the back buttons for modifiers.
I'd give it a try anyhow, just probably going to need some fiddling to get where you want.
You could, but there's no official control scheme. My experience wasn't great, but maybe yours will be better. I just think that since there's so many buttons (multiple toolbars, multiple menus and build modes, etc.), it's hard to make it all work.
Maybe I'll try my hand at a new control scheme, but it just seems built for a M+Kb. It plays well, though, so the limitation really is only the controls.

Ghost of Tsushima and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I finished the main story of both games yesterday but now I've got DLC to play.
Started playing Animal Well the other day. It's quite good.
It's been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It's a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that's implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.
The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
That's pretty high praise, I'll check it out.

Sea of Stars went on sale and it's fantastic.
Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Dirt 4.
Nostalgia stuff: Crash Bandicoot PS1, Worms World Party PS1, NFL Street PS2, MX Superfly PS2, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition PS2, probably some others
Arkham Knight, Max Payne 2, and this super complex game called Blender 3D in which I have made donuts.
hell yeah blender is awesome
It is. I've been away from it for a few years, and these new Geometry Nodes and hair systems are pretty incredible. So long particle system. It's really come a long way since about 2.9 when I last played with it.
And the deck handles it pretty solidly, but it'd be nice if GPU rendering were supported.
A lot of Rocket League! Additionally I've been having a pretty good time with Star Trucker.
Then recently I've been streaming Helldivers 2 from my PC to my Deck while it's connected to the living room TV, which has been fun.
I told my friend when I got my Deck I wouldn't just use it as an emulation device...yeah I mostly use it for PCSX2
Been playing through Midnight Club 3 Remix the last week
Nine Sols!
Who would've guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck's speaker is just so satisfying.

Currently I'm playing through Ready Or Not, the engine update and them adding FSR3.0 made the game playable at the best of times! However the Deck still freezes and crashes occasionally sadly.
Thronebreaker, Hogwards Legacy. I also started Bayonetta and recently finished (and real enjoyed) Hotline Miami 1 and 2. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 as well but my fps skills on a controller are so bad that it's just too stressful.
How is Hogwarts Legacy nowadays ? I'm thinking to pick it up in the future but want to make sure it plays ok on deck.
Game updates did break the startup process once before. That was fixed after one or two days. In game the graphics are set to the lower settings but I don't mind. I only notice slow loading textures from time to time.
When it comes to the content: I think the world building and the castle are well done. Missions and dialogs are quite dull though, aimed more at children. Still fun to play from time to time.

Haven't been playing it much recently, but I've gotten to a point in Pokemon Unbreakable Ties where I'm stubbornly bashing my head against a wall to win a battle, so that's off the table for a while.
And the only other games I've actually played recently are Yooka-Laylee (only 2 levels in due to exploration and a lot of goofing around), Baba Is You, and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. But I've only been playing a little bit since I've been busy enough.
Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?

Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Just finished the story mode. It’s Steam Deck Verified, so it runs and plays well, and it’s easy to play with a controller because it has a bit of auto-aim/aim correction.
I did enjoy it. Not a must play by any means, but it does add to the lore of the Alan Wake series. If you are a fan of that game series, I recommend playing this. And if you aren’t, you probably should play the other games in the series. 😉
Right now 9 sols
I have this wishlisted but Satisfactory and Space Marines are capitalizing my play time.
What are your impressions of 9 Sols? Metroidvanias are my favorite genre and this one is so beautifully drawn and animated.
Forza Horizon 4 currently
went back in cyberpunk. restarted with the mod to make ability checks static to get rid of the. not enough tech, level to increase tech, check is now higher and not enough tech thing. Man I wish they would make an update where you could skip the whole shard memories playing as silverhands in arasaka bombing thing. It would help a lot in replayability since no matter what you do its the exact same experience.

The first Templar (received as a gift on GOG a few weeks back).
This week has been a bit of UFO 50 and Terra Memoria.
UFO 50 hasn't hooked me with a single specific game yet, but the entire package together is incredibly compelling and fun. It's just neat to hop in, play half an hour of a game that makes me think back to playing on my dad's NES, and then put it down for something else, much like how I played when I was 5 or 6.
I'm still very early on in Terra Memoria, but I think it's pretty neat! I like the combat system as they've introduced it so far, and it looks like there will be a lot of depth and choices to make in combat or team-building (maybe). Something about turn-based RPGs feel perfectly suited for the Deck.
Went back to playing Luck be a Landlord.
Why not play Fight The Landlord tho
Horizon Zero Dawn
I really really like it, and I've been playing it in my learning language and I've learned so much from the rich dialogue and story elements.
Its in the same vain as hollow knight in terms of tight controls and skill based combat, with aspects of exploration.
I say this as a person who is not a fan of metroidvanias at large, nor dark souls games, but I'm a huge fan of souls-lights.
Sorry, what game is it that you're talking about?
I seem to have boomered a reply to someone else asking me how I like 9 sols...

I'm playing EDF: World Brothers 2 with a friend, and also bouncing between Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, and Monster Hunter Rise.
I'm looking forward to getting back into Shadows of Doubt. It just came out of early access, and recent updates included a ton of steam deck optimizations and major improvements to controller support. There are some great user control profiles already available, but I look forward to being able to play it docked as well with a standard controller.
