not a deck, but a legion go and I am enjoying satisfactory a ton.
Late to the party, but I recently closed a (re-)playthrough of Mass Effect I Legendary Edition.
I’m now moving onto Dishonored, a saga that I completely ignored being massively bad at stealth games, plus a bit of Spacebourne 2 here and there
I’ve been on a Souls-like kick lately, so the two games I’ve been playing the most recently on my Deck are Blasphemous 2 and No Rest for the Wicked.
Blasphemous 2 I got as part of Humble Choice a bit ago and I’m really enjoying it. Not too difficult, but definitely gives its own unique feel to a metroidvania.
I just picked up No Rest for the Wicked after its recent Breach update and I’ve been loving the gameplay and loop they’ve built. Hope to see more performance improvements for the Deck…it really feels like a game that they should be able to get running much better on the Deck over time, but I am able to get a mostly stable 30 FPS so far.
Nova Drift, and then some more Nova Drift. Followed by a long session of Nova Drift. I think I need help.
I dont have one but for those that do can you play gta 5 online and rdr2 on the steam deck?
Rockstar recently switched to a kernel anti-cheat program that doesn’t support the deck, breaking online. You can still play the single player versions of those games, but not online unfortunately.
Darn you Rockstar.
My big two games recently have been Blue Prince (which I made a post raving about a week ago), and Clair Obscura: Expedition 33.
Blue Prince is a fantastic puzzle game/rogue-likes mix, and as someone who enjoys both genres I’ve found their combination is fantastic. Really satisfying game for me, I didn’t close the game on my deck for about a week after first trying it. I’m not done with it yet either, lots more to discover.
Clair Obscura Expedition 33 is a really flashy turn based JRPG made by a team of 30 people who quit Ubisoft because they wanted to make good games. It has incredible production values for such a small team and puts a lot of AAA games to shame. It pushes the deck performance wise, but I think it performs acceptably after tweaking some settings. I’d recommend people follow this guide for making it run it’s best, but the TL;DW is:
The game hides some graphics settings on deck by default and uses a deck specific present. You can re-enable the settings by using the launch option
SteamDeck=0 %command%, and customize it to your liking. Basically it’s TSR to low, shadow and post processing to low, film grain off, chromatica off, motion blur off, any other option to medium, FPS capped at 30.How have you felt about playing CO:E33 on the Deck? The game looks quite good, but I’m really unsure about playing it now on the Deck or waiting until I build a new mid-range PC in the fall/winter.
Do you feel the trade-offs for getting it working on the Deck are worth it?
For me, absolutely. I definitely recommend those tweaks I listed above, but I consider the graphics very acceptable. I have the game installed on my main PC as well (with the idea of streaming to the Deck), but ultimately I’ve been content enough with the graphics to not bother with that.
The game is definitely a bit blurry, and some early areas have less than ideal shadow aliasing. But the game manages to be pretty beautiful despite that, and I’m having a great time.
Good to know; thanks for getting back to me!
V Rising. I’d rather play it on my desktop most of the time but I just want that couch chill at the end of the day
Have you had a chance to play it since the recent update? They completely re-did the controls on the Deck, right? I’d love to hear how it plays now, I’ve been eying it for a while.
Oblivion Remastered. Playing via Remote Play, which has given me a decent amount of issues, but when it’s working, it’s great. The game looks gorgeous and has been a ton of fun to play, although I’m having a surprisingly hard time finding side quests. I seem to remember there being more than one or two per town. But whatever, I can always go find a cave, be stealthy and snipe things.
What issues are you having with remote play?
One issue is with video freezing. The sound will keep going, but the video is stuck and the only thing I can do is kill and restart the game.
The other issue is with my lock screen. It’s very hit or miss if I can unlock it from the deck, and sometimes it then picks the wrong monitor to display the game on. Since my 2nd monitor is vertical, that creates a mess of a vertical stream with the game half cut off, and half an empty desktop displaying.
Valheim.
