Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

I love how simple it is to play games on the Steam Deck The user interface is straight-forward, like it is with the other gaming consoles

PRO TIP: Turn Off the FPS Counter, you get to enjoy the game you are playing MORE

Had mine since launch, been chilling playing P5R recently.

Playing Chained Echos and I love it! It's a great love letter to older turn based RPGs

[–] Silverhand@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I'm in the middle of that and need to get back to it, great game.

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.

Recently just finished the base difficulty story mode of Furi (amazing game highly recommended) and the lightning boss in Zelda tears of the kingdom.

I used to, does that count? I'm still an avid linux gamer, but mine was just sitting unused compared to my desktop before I decided to sell. Either way, currently playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu. Hasn't been exactly smooth sailing but overall it's been pretty good. The main issues are the emu being so new (bugs) and not having an idea what mods and settings are best for my particular hardware, and TBH steamdeck is great in this area since they're all the same platform aside the storage.

I have one, mostly play Stardew and Brawhalla coop on it. Occasionally some Wreckfest or Sonic All-Stars Racing.

[–] Atomfist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

As I don't own a playstation I am playing the horizon zero dawn game, it is quite good. I will probably then play the final fantasy remake.

[–] banjoman05@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Vampire Survivors for a while. Lately I just finished up a run through of Pokemon Red and just got started on a run of Pokemon Silver.

[–] Mendamigo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Alien Fireteam Elite! Runs very well on the Deck.

[–] MrHoboSquadron@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Q1 decker here. Got mine back in April last year. Right now I'm playing the Crash Bandicaoot N. Sane trilogy, but I often use it for emulation. I finished Zelda Twilight Princess and Ori WotW a few weeks ago. Not sure what I'll play next. Whatever I fancy when I finish Crash (for the 3rd time).

Looking to get a steam deck as my next big purchase. Seems like the perfect gaming device for me

Burnout revenge and dishonored

[–] 10_dollar_banana@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Breath of the Wild and Guild Wars 2! Amazing Deck experiences. Forza 5, too, but it's so dang buggy...

Octopath travelers 2 and hifi rush.

[–] DoakSteezy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Diablo 4 has been absolutely perfect on the deck once you get battle.net loaded up. Runs awesome, good battery life if you lower the graphics a little and limit FPS.

[–] bwhough@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I am! I go through phases of playing it, and at the moment all of my attention is elsewhere (namely, TotK on Switch) - but, once I'm done with that I expect that I'll go back to my ridiculous backlog, and Apex Legends.

[–] Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ive been emulating and toying around with linux a bit mostly I plan to get TOTK on there when im done playing it on the switch

[–] Cylinsier@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Not too much right now as I have been in the TOTK hole for weeks, but recently I was playing the CIV 6, the new Hitman trilogy, and a few different metroidvanias. And I played HiFi Rush to completion on it. Fantastic device. Long term I will end up playing a lot of emulation on it too.

[–] dear_faye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Playing some Wildermyth right now - it works just right. Yakuza Like a Dragon works like a charm on the SD, btw. That is an amazing game. Might go after Ishin Like a Dragon right after!

[–] toastloop@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Played through Bioshock, I forgot how good that game was.

[–] sly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not played it on my deck yet, but I heard a LOT about Hades being amazing on Deck... I bought it the other day and played it a stupid amount over the weekend on my desktop in glorious 240FPS. Apparently it runs at a locked 60 on Deck!

At the minute I'm playing Botw via cemu , warframe, Mario kart 8 via cemu, deus ex MD and just finished my second play through of portal 2. I still need to finish new super Mario bros 2 on citra

Next I want to get into metal gear solid 5 . I'm also looking forward to when Xenia improves as the 360 had some great games before it red ringed (press F to pay respects)

I played through Disco Elysium recently and it does surprisingly well for a small screen.

[–] itsjxssica@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

anybody with a deck tried modded minecraft? if i get one and it works i’ll probably end up having another one of those month-long minecraft phases haha

[–] indicah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Been playing lots of Pixelmon recently, working like a charm!

👋 playing God of War.

[–] NightmareQueenJune@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I have played some "lighter" titles like Journey (originally a PS exclusive), Little Nightmares and Crossing Souls. It's really nice to be able to play PC games on the go and (although I've not yet played AAA games on it) am quite pleased with it's performance.
