Usually Indies, a lot of slay the spire recently, but I've just started Street Fighter VI.
Tempted by System Shock next cos I never played the original.

Yeah, baby! Somebody point me in the direction of another Steam Deck subre-... Channel?
I've been playing lots of Street Fighter 6, but also Metroidvania indies. Currently playing through They Always Run and it's pretty much pixel 2d Mandalorian and it's pretty damn cool!
I think the word you are looking for in "community".
I have 400 steam games, a Series X, a PS5, a Switch OLED, a gaming PC, but I spend most of my time playing Brotato on my Steam Deck.
I’ve been playing Diablo IV since it came out! Runs surprisingly well.
TOTK! Runs great via some of the latest Yuzu updates.
Also Pizza tower and a bit of PGA 2K21 here and there.
I've been loving Hades, but I'm currently fighting to get done emulation working - although I didn't spend much time and I at least know, where I fucked up...
I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.
currently we <3 katamari reroll which is such a perfect fit on the platform it almost hurts
Horizon Zero Dawn. Had it on PS4 and didn't get far. Having a Deck changes everything.
Been playing BOTW but also XCOM 2 and the roguelike deckbuilders bundle from Humble Bundle recently. Loving the steamdeck so much.
Disco Elysium. Fantastic writing and pretty hilarious at times.
It's also pretty good as a portable PC when traveling too, so that's nice.
Celeste Strawberry Jam
An absolute masterpiece that runs perfectly on the Deck
I’ve been playing Diablo 4 on it the last couple of days. Before that was Death Stranding.
I've been playing L.A. Noire @45 fps with an fps unlocked and it's been fantastic.
I've been playing the games from the most recent humble bundle, eternal threads was a big surprise! It's really good!
I'm here, but I've been playing TotK on switch as of late. I was actually playing Metroid Prime: Remastered on the deck before that.
Playing Cyberpunk and Ace Combat.
As a toddler+newborn dad I flat out need the option of playing on TV or in bed, and instantly flipping on or off.
I honestly never dreamed of something like this when I grew up gaming on Windows 95+. Can't wait 'til I can game with my sons.
I am currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on my deck, performs well enough (the major concern is the affect to the battery if playing handheld). Keyboard required for first time set-up (virtual keeb didn't work).
Others:
No Man's Sky - endless playability imo and was my go to when I purchased
Planet Zoo - I haven't actually played on deck yet, but I got my desktop setup where I only need to use the mouse, and plan to try the strategy on my deck.
Dofromantik - this is a relaxed puzzle game that is very good on deck
Podman - containerization is a game, and the deck is a Linux computer after all :)
Just started playing Persona 5 Royal. I've got a ton of looong RPGs installed, and nowhere close to enough free time for them.
I have one, but borrowed it to my neighbor to try it out and see if he wants to purchase one. :)
I don't play on it often honestly, but I mainly use it if I'm going to bed and don't want to sleep, flying, visiting in laws, or want to play controller games. It's console lite for me.
I played Brotato on it for way too many hours.
I've been playing Spiritfarer and Forza Horizon 4 on mine as of late.
Been playing D4 on it recently and Destiny 2. If I want a chill I will usually play Hollow Knight or run retro games. So many options on the Deck when I am messing around I usually find a something new to do.
I was looking to scratch the FromSoft itch after Elden Ring finally converted me into a lover of those games.
I bought Sekiro on my deck and got crack cocaine addicted to it. Plays GREAT. Also recently finished Celeste on there which is a game I see myself going back to again and again.
Right now I'm playing Horizon Zero dawn. runs beautifully. very occasionally crashes but otherwise great.
Mostly modded Skyrim on my Deck (enchanted weapons build), but the majority of my time lately has been playing Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch.
I’m waiting to play BG3 until after it fully comes out. I don’t have a lot of free time as it is, and I’d rather not play through the first part of the game multiple times right now.
We Love Katamari
Just wondering, has anyone tried installing windows on it? From my experience using with dual boot, windows give much more fps stability like not getting mini lag etc. on games.
Windows is super jank on deck. Steamos is far more stable and in many games the proton layer makes games smoother than in windows because the Vulcan to dx 12 stuff forces precaching of shaders.
For a while people were installing holoiso (steamos for other computers) to make elden ring less studdery.
Yes, I have tries this personally too. Steamos is much MUCH better for handheld gaming than windows is.
Lately I've been playing Descenders: It's been a lot of fun and runs great! It's a cycling/BMX game.
Been playing TOTK too much to pick the Deck up… Was playing Lone Fungus before, which ran really well.
Playing Chained Echos and I love it! It's a great love letter to older turn based RPGs
I installed BlizzNet on my steamdeck and am playing through Diablo IV. I'm usually a more patient gamer but my friends were playing and coop is fun.
Mostly retro games. Retroachievements is amazing, and creates an entire new dimension to retro games. I've been score chasing a bunch of Atari 2600 games as evening entertainment.
As for Steam games, Neon White is pretty good. I've also been playing Hifi Rush, but have gotten stuck on a battle that I can't seem to beat.
I have a deck, got the 64gb and replaced the eMMC with a 1tb SSD
I'm playing Middle Earth Shadow of War, since despite how old it is, I've yet to properly finish it. On the plus side, they removed all the microtransactions now
I'm also playing Diablo 4 on it
Recently: Skyrim yet again, Portal 2
Currently: Horizon Zero Dawn, Wreckfest, Emulators
Next: Probably Cyberpunk. I started it a few months ago, but have been playing Horizon instead.
