Cyberpunk. I started it a few months ago, got bored about ten hours in and put it down, played Prey (which was fuckin great!) then I went back to cyberpunk and got the taste. I’m almost 200 hrs in at the mo and loving it. Got a couple more jobs to do then I’m starting the Dogtown stuff. Impressive how well it plays on steam deck.
Pacific Drive, Whispers in the wood DLC.
Finally they added something that will actively chase you and act like a stalker type enemy(stop at nothing). You can crank up both your car and the enemy’s speed to make chasing super tense.
The atmosphere and sound design are even more spooky, fantastic stuff.
The story’s main character is a bit chatty, but I think sells the “mad cultist” impression pretty well.
Performance wise: Using lossless framegen 2x to pull the framerate up from 30 to 60. Pixel rendering in this game is cheap, so no amount of lowering resolution will boost much performance.

The Last Sovereign, using a walkthrough. Some battles are hard. I had to use RpgMakerSaveEdit on my windows machine because I didn’t buy enough items and to buy equipment needed for a battle.
Playing a lot of Jump Space and Deep Rock Galactic with friends.
Single player, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to be my long haul game, and Brotato and Balatro remain my “20 free minutes to game” games
Rock And Stone!
Didn’t know Jump Space played well on Deck. I’ll have to try it out.
I wouldn’t say it runs particularly well currently. I play it at 720p lower settings and it will go 50 - 60 fps at several places and times… but then when there’s a ton of action and enemies, suddenly you’re in Jittery High 20s / Low 30s Land.
But it’s still very fun, especially with friends, and everyone picks their jobs and gets down to business. And it’s early access and early on in its road map… I imagine it’ll just get smoother as they optimize it more over time.
I’m about 90 hours into Silksong. Before that, it was hollow knight.
Until now, I’d never played metroidvanias or souslikes - mostly idle games, FPS’ and RPGs. I might get more into them now. I’ve been eyeing animal well.
Check out Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps as well.
Dead Cells 😍
Recently finished another playthrough of Half-Life 2, and now I’m back on Hades (not 2, waiting for that to go on sale). I’ve just had the first successful run but I’ve got a long way to go before I’m up to the same point I was at on the Xbox.
Finally finished Death Stranding. On to Hades 2.
Welp, I just played Stardew Valley again 😁
Lollipop Chainsaw RePopped
It’s so silly
Ball X Pit
I’ve been thinking about getting that. It looks fun. What’s your opinion on it?
If you like brick breakers and Vampire Survivors, you’ll love it.
It’s not the most challenging game if you take your time to upgrade and redo levels with other characters, but I still find it fun to play even after 20+ hours
Sounds right up my alley, but I’ll wait for a sale, I think. I’ve got a pretty big backlog to get through.
The Gunk. I played through it on game pass a few years ago. I was just telling someone about it and then saw that it was only like $3 on Steam, so I bought it. It’s so pretty, and looks great on the deck. I love the voice work, too. And cleaning up the gunk feels so therapeutic right now.
The Gunk is great. Wish they expanded on the story.
Assassins creed: valhalla for the big stints.
And knights of tight spaces for when I think it’s a short stint and ends up playing it for a few hours.Just finished Powerwash Simulator 2. Now trying to get my The Outer Worlds savegame from the Switch working on the Steam Deck to play the few DLC missions I skipped back then.
