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 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.
Over the year I’ve finished Outer Wilds, Hades, PikuNiku, the second Ori game, and have been slowly getting through Elden Ring. Next is probably Tunic, but idk if it’s worth my time after playing through the first 2 hours.
Nowadays I can’t use any other controller than the deck, so I sometimes link it with the pc just for that - I just can’t live without the gyro and the back buttons
I’m playing through Far Cry 6, and it’s running perfectly (Proton GE). I’m genuinely surprised by how good it works, even if that game chews my battery.
I just finished Trails in the Sky SC at just over 90 hours playtime. I didn’t even 100% it. I have to admit. I didn’t even much enjoy the first half or so. It mostly ended strong, but I was starting to get a little sick of kicking the same bad guys’ asses over and over only to have them declare they’re not even using their full strength in the post-fight cutscene before they mysteriously disappear to inevitably come back later.
Last game I played on it, yesterday, was Just Cause 3. It’s… not great. The game just doesn’t run consistently enough and is too CPU heavy.
I recently played Red Dead Redemption 2 on it, that was great. Surprisingly so. I’m playing Skyrim now. I’ve had the game for years but never took the time to properly get into it. I beat the main quest and messed with mods back in the day but that’s it.
Now, I’m playing it vanilla and I want to just go deep into the game, completely ignoring the main quest, I don’t want to be the hero, if the universe needs saving, it can find someone else. Khajiit have caves to explore and stuff. Oh and the new Survival Mode is neat!
Been mostly playing ToTK on switch like some here, though I think I’ll have to give a few more attempts at P ranking some bosses in Pizza Tower soon, or perhaps try to 100% Hifi Rush
Sorry for the late reply! It’s really a question of how you approach postgame content. It’s a fairly short “linear campaign” with hidden challenges for level replays. For me the story was fun and the mechanics engaging enough to enjoy beyond the short playtime.
I still enjoy turning it on to do a few fights and enjoy the rhythm mechanics, might do a new play through.

Not a steamdeck user but a linux pc gamer so solidarity. Currently playing RE2 and Like a dragon Ishin.
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.

Tunic is amazing! You might be a bit lost but with time things start making sense
Steam Deck install base: less than 2 million
Nintendo Switch install base: 125+ million
But by all means let’s talk about Steam Deck.
Here we go again…
What does this even mean? People shouldn’t talk about it because it doesn’t have as many users?

Would you say Hifi rush is worth the price in amount of content terms? I’ve been switherong on it for a while.
