Gaming

I have played some "lighter" titles like Journey (originally a PS exclusive), Little Nightmares and Crossing Souls. It's really nice to be able to play PC games on the go and (although I've not yet played AAA games on it) am quite pleased with it's performance.

Steam Deck install base: less than 2 million

Nintendo Switch install base: 125+ million

But by all means let's talk about Steam Deck.

Here we go again...

Stardew Valley has been my go-to so far, along with lots of old puzzle games (Portal 1/2, Myst, etc.) and the early Lego games, namely Lego Star Wars

I'm currently in Chapter 1 of Trails of Cold Steel. I love being able to play this game on the go (outside of the Vita version), especially since we'll likely never get the Switch port. I've played through the first 5 Trails games this year so far and I'm hoping I don't burn out too soon.

Love my Deck. Been playing Tetris and Robin Morningwood! :) 🏳️‍🌈

• Hifi rush
• hades
• curse of the dead gods
• crash bandicoot 4

I am! I go through phases of playing it, and at the moment all of my attention is elsewhere (namely, TotK on Switch) - but, once I'm done with that I expect that I'll go back to my ridiculous backlog, and Apex Legends.

Anyone running Xenia ? How does it perform ? Thats the platform I'm most excited to emulate.

Minecraft and RetroArch

I have a Steam Deck but I'm not really using it enough. It's a great device but my gaming PC is just so much better. I use the Steam Deck when I'm travelling, but that's about it really.

Diablo 4 has been absolutely perfect on the deck once you get battle.net loaded up. Runs awesome, good battery life if you lower the graphics a little and limit FPS.

Currently playing Diablo 4 if I have internet access, Otherwise going through old SNES JRPGs

It has been an interesting mix of things for me in the last few weeks. I have been playing a few Metroid games simultaneously. I never finished Prime 2 or 3 back in the day, so I'm revisiting Prime 2 currently and got past the boss that I got stuck on back in the day on my first try, so that felt good haha. Metroid 2 is one of the only Metroid games that I haven't played yet, so I started AM2R also.

I also randomly got into Soul Calibur 6 this weekend, which runs great on the Deck besides load times being a bit longer than I expected, but it's fine overall. I loved Soul Calibur 2 back in the day, so I have been going between both of those. The cool thing about fighting games is that they seem to age well as long as the mechanics are solid, so I think that SC2 still holds up very well today. It even has a native widescreen option, so it scales nicely to the Steam Deck's display.

I also picked up Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 a few days ago for just a few bucks, so I'm playing that sometimes too for variety. Street Fighter 6 releasing and now the Mortal Kombat I reveal has me playing some fighting games again apparently. It's a pretty healthy time for that genre right now.

Train sim world 2! I love train sims, but an hour is a long time to commit to sitting at my desk. Being able to move around the house a bit is a massive boost to me enjoying them :)

Witcher 3, Death Stranding, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Disco Elysium and Elden Ring.

I like my Steam Deck but I'm not the world's biggest superfan like a lot of guys in the subreddit were. It definitely has its shortcomings and things that could be improved.

Currently working my way through botw. I know it's old at this point but I have never played before. Also cyberpunk 2077. I started and never finished. I want to be ready for the dlc that is coming out soon

Playing Divinity Original Sin 2, great controls on steam deck.
