God of war, using Moonlight to stream from my PC. Visuals are definitely better on PC vs the LCD screen of the deck, but sitting on the couch leaning against my wife is nice too
I’m just getting used to the idea that my SteamDeck can also play games outside the Halo: Anniversary collection.
Also, ‘Sonic All Star Racing: Transformed’ is really good.
Grabbed Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for £4.99 and having a blast. Completed the first game last night and now started on the second one. Runs like a dream, EA launcher didn’t cause any issues (I loaded it in desktop mode the first time) and the game is as good as I remember from first time around.
The only issue I’m having is when I use the HDR calibration in game I wind up losing a bunch of detail in dark areas and the image overall is way too dark.
I’ve also picked up subnautica ready to give it a proper go at some point after picking it up and it not quite gripping me on game pass on desktop.
I’ve been playing far too many games to give anyone of them the attention it deserves. Currently I’m switching between:
- Persona 5
- Void Stranger
- Hogwart’s Legacy
- Honkai Star Rail
- Xenotilt/Demon’s Tilt
Shoutout for Xeno/Demon’s Tilt!
A friend got me into Barony, and it has become an obsession.
I’ve been playing Star Ocean the Second Story R since my fiancee bought it for me at Christmas.
Like a dragon the man who erased his name (streaming with moonlight) and 20 minutes til dawn (on deck). Loving them both, both fill different moods.
Started Diablo 4 a couple of days ago and alternate between the Deck and PC. Performance is much better than I would have thought, and even as a KB+M elitist I like the gamepad controls.
Then there are also some Vampire Survivors-like games. VS itself, with the latest DLC (Among Us collab) and Soulstone Survivors.
I also got Dave the Diver and Enter the Gungeon in the Winter Sale, but I don’t think I’ll get to those any time soon.
Gta4, sifu and journey to the savage planet for me at the minute
Tetris Effect finally got me…
I want Tetris Effect, but it feels priced too high when I already have so many other copies of Tetris on various platforms.
I get that. I will say TE is pretty unique and the production values are off the charts. Meanwhile it’s packed with modes, not to mention multiplayer options.
I’m not saying I’d pay full price for it, but at half price during the winter sale it was worth it, IMO.
Hollow Knight. It’s gorgeous on the OLED.
Stray. It’s an absolute feast on the eyes on the OLED deck’s screen. Something about the way it pulls off the subtle hue shifts in the game and the high contrast is just better than on 2 different PC monitors I’ve tried, my (arguably cheap) TV or even my (not-so-cheap and also OLED) phone. You just have to try and see for yourself to get it.
I’ve also gotten back into rhythm games. Been playing Project Diva and Thumper as well lately.
Randomly started playing PC build simulator. It is funny, how fast this game drains the deck battery and generates heat. Far beyond the other ones for some reason.
I just finished Signalis, and am going back to The Long Dark, which I last played 2022. Looks good on the Deck.
I am also checking out Songs of Conquest, but currently my audio is bugged :(
That’s unfortunate about Songs of Conquest, according to Protondb everything is supposed to work in that game.
It’s really weird and I think that maybe Proton is to blame. However, devs are very forthcoming and helping me to find what’s causing the issues. Also, it’s still in early access so I am not to worried about it getting fixed.
- Signalis
- Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
- Vampire Saviour
- FFXIV (through XIVLauncher)
