Dishonored runs quite well. I’m also playing God Hand with a PS2 emulator. What a ridiculous game.
Spiritfarer. Got it on sale for $5 a while ago and it’s surprisingly touching and addictive. I even cried at one point.
I bought a handful of cheap / deep discount games during the Summer Sale this year.
One I wasn’t sure about was BIOTA. Turns out it’s been more fun than I expected for such a simplistic game.
I’ve also been playing Blasphemous. I really like Metroidvanias but these “souls like” style games are irritating to me. Still, it was cheap and I can appreciate the aesthetic.
I’m looking forward to having more time to play these games, as of yet, it’s been like 20 minutes here, 30 minutes a few days later, so it’s hard to make much progress and enjoy them with such limited time to dive in.
Final Fantasy Tactics is pretty much all I have been playing on mine. I have been trying to get other emulators running so I can play the FFT from PSP and GBA, but so far no luck.
I did get a Bluetooth keyboard with track pad today, hopefully that makes installing stuff in desktop easier.
I have been playing Bitcraft on my MacBook, I am hoping with the keyboard I can play it on the Steam deck too.
Installing Retro deck was super straight forward for me and “just worked” with 90% of my games
Not sure if I tried that one, I have been playing via retro arch.
Bitcraft looks really interesting. I’m tempted to give it a whirl on my MacBook, too.
They added experimental WASD controls yesterday.
The controls are point and click, no wasd or auto run yet. Other than that I am enjoying it. Keep in mind it is a crafting game with a little bit of combat.
Got V Rising on sale. Works good on the deck.
I’m still waiting for it to be delivered, but I’m not sure if I want to break it in with No Man’s Sky, or start installing EmuDeck. Honestly, I want to do “all the things” as soon as I get it into my hands, given the way people gush about it.
Be sure to take a moment to reboot into desktop, and search the built in Linux app store for free games. There’s some absolute gems.
Edit: And after installing, right click the game on the desktop or menu, and choose “Add To Steam”, to make it show up in the usual Steam interface.
Rogue Trader, it’s quite a new game, but it has a Steam Deck mode and runs quite reasonably for a turn based combat game, really enjoying it.
The loading screens tho 😭
There is a bug in that it will only load a limited amount of assets per frame. If you reduce fps, then loading will be artificially limited in speed. Look for a mod that fixes this.
Ohhh
Thank you !
I just finished Lies of P including the DLC, runs beautifully on the Steam Deck and it’s such a banger!
I’ve been abducted By Frostpunk (on the deck), but now I’m finally getting out of it and enjoying some Wolfenstein (on ps5).
