I tried playing Mario galaxy. I think I got everything work using the touch screen. I don’t particularly enjoy the touch screen mechanic it’s taking me out of the game a bit. I assume that worked better on a wii joycon.
I think setting up gyro in that case would work better than the touch screen. That's how I played through Maro Galaxy back in the day using the Steam Controller and having gyro only activate when I touched the right pad so it wasn't always going crazy.
Yes I agree I'm not mad about the touch screen aspect. It ruins the platforming. I have a Wii in storage but actually play it on deck due to convenience.
Dave The Diver is out for something 2 weeks. Kind of mix of Subnautica in 3D/semi-2D, Terraria graphics and simplified Overcooked action. Highly recommended, works excellent on Steam Deck.
Currently this is the only game I play on SD, already ~20 hours in it. 😅
