Is there a tutorial you can recommend? Not long after it came out I managed to get it running, but only in desktop mode, and input wasn't working at all.
You could try steam rom manager. It allows you to add your roms and/or emulators to your steam list from one app. It comes with emudeck but I think you can get it separately if you don't want to use the rest of emudeck features.
I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest and it was a lot of fun. Really well done game in my opinion. Similar to Hollow Knight, if you've played that.
If you haven't played Hollow Knight, play Hollow Knight.
Fallout 4. Its the first game I thought of when the Deck was announced and hoped it would be playable. I haven't been disappointed after 8 hrs on my Deck.
I bought it a week ago and had buggy dialogue, soft locks, etc. in the house and at the gate to the vault. It was insanely broken. A fresh reinstall did nothing. Ended up refunding and buying Fallout 3, which has been fun so far. No clue why 4 was just busted for me.
All the buzz around Diablo 4 got me thinking about my favorite aRPG, Titan Quest, which led me to Grim Dawn, which I have been having a great time playing through for the first time on my Deck.
Docked: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Perfect for laying in bed, has a near auto-battle combat system between cutscenes that i can enjoy comfortably.
Undocked: Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I'm trying to get all the achievements via RetroAchievements and am at the point where it's just grinding so it works elegantly for those random chances I find to put some playtime in. I played through the story, which was great btw, mostly docked.
Dave the Diver. It's not only the perfect Steam Deck game, it's contender for indie game of the year. There's just so much content and it's all so good!
No Man's Sky, lots of No Man's Sky this last month. Monster Hunter World is installed and ready to go... but I just need to finish something in No Man's Sky first.
For a smaller Indie title, I was playing Aground before the latest NMS community expedition.
My daughter has been borrowing it to play The Lake, and my son and I have been playing Nickelodeon Brawl and Nickelodeon Carts on it.
I was addicted to no man's sky for a while, plays great on the deck. I took a black hole somewhere and then had an existential crisis wondering what I was doing it there in the universe and left myself stranded lost somewhere I didn't know
