  • bloodstained, P5R, halls of torment, yakuza 3, risk of rain returns, project zomboid, and streets of rogue.

    I highly recommend pony island, the longing, and yuppie psycho as well.

  • Rocket League, which before I had my Deck I didn't even really get into all that much so it kinda took me by surprise. Seems to even have no problem playing at the high quality graphics levels at a steady 90 FPS too.

    Additionally, since EA is having a massive sale right now I picked up Burnout Paradise and the mass effect legendary edition, along with all of the NFS games.

  • Portal reloaded and portal revolution are pretty great on deck.

  • I've been enjoying FactorIO a lot lately. Just a great game and playable on the steam deck, unlike Satisfactory.

    • Please don't call it Factor-IO.

      • I don't, just didn't know how it is spelled and thought they did it this way. I pronounce it in one word "factorio". I think the small "i" in their logo confused me 😅

  • I don't know if officially great on deck or not but

    • Venetica
    • Mudrunner
    • revolt
    • baldurs gate dark alliance 2 (ps2)
    • dead or alive 2 (Dreamcast)
    • Quake 2 remastered
    • the Talos principle 1
    • F355 challenge (Dreamcast)
    • immortal redneck
    • Deep rock galactic
    • viper racing
    • drag
    • exanima
    • reactive drop
    • kandria
    • overload
    • pulsar lost colony
    • all system shock games
    • Sven co-op
    • Quite the menu, are you doing those on emulators or are they ported?

      • Some of them played through emudeck or heroic game launcher but all accessible from deck game mode

  • Dicey dungeons rogue like like slay the spire but changing cards with dices and abilities. The battery lasts forever in that game.

  • Some cool SD verified games nobody mentioned yet:

    • Hades
    • Cult of the Lamb
    • Potion Craft (really great gamepad support)
    • Against the Storm (though the controls take a while to get used to)
    • Griftlands
    • Terraformers
  • Just started finally playing through Manifold Garden and after switching to kb&m emulation with the stick and touchpad, plus some tweaks, it's played extremely well.

    Meanwhile I've also put a distressing amount of time into Rimworld, which works great with the Deck's suspend mode since it's very amenable to dropping in, doing stuff for a few minutes, then dropping out. Well except that a few minutes always turns into a few hours...

  • Inside and Limbo are great on theck deck. I've very much enjoyed Little Nightmares, although checkpoints are sometimes a littler further apart than I'd like. Currently working through Mass Effect which is great but taking up lots of time. With Bastion on sale for $2.99 that's another very good one.
