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.
I'm trying to learn Magic the Gathering on the steam deck, but damn I'm getting my butt kicked. If anyone knows how to learn it I'm all ears.
I have rainworld on my list to play next, for now I'm mostly on Tunic.
Anyone running Xenia ? How does it perform ? Thats the platform I'm most excited to emulate.
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.
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.
Mostly FTL, trying to finish FFVII & FFX and work on my backlog of games I want to finish.
Playing Divinity Original Sin 2, great controls on steam deck.
So good and such a great game for the deck.
LEGO Builder's Journey has been really fun, its a great game to play at night to wind down even though it's pretty short
Recently grabbed D4, it’s running great atm (60fps).
I'm using it almost exclusively during commuting between my hometown and my girlfriend's current city (nearly 4h) for which the deck is an absolute godsent
Played through the Sherlock Holmes games and now am playing the Ace Attorney games (for which the Deck is probably a bit overpowered but so what).
Not a huge fan of fast-paced games on the deck since I have a pretty good PC at home with a 144hz 1440p monitor which I really miss with games like Else Ring or (especially) Rocket League
Mostly point and click adventures. Harvey's New Eyes is my favorite among those I've finished for now
Mostly play indie top-down retro stuff like Core Keeper, but the occasional bout of Halo MCC/Infinite, RDR2, Wasteland 3, and a few others.
If the new Battlebit release anti-cheat functions properly under Proton then I'll be picking that up.
