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?
Dave The Diver!
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.
Steam Deck best tech purchase for me in a long time. Don’t judge me too much but I’ve been playing Disney Speedstorm between TotK sessions.
Yeah! It’s such a perfect device. So easy to stuff it in a backpack and just bring it out whenever. It’s honestly everything I’ve ever wanted the switch to be
If you haven’t played sleeping dogs, it’s one of the biggest underrated games and runs Amazing on the deck
I’ve recently started working my way through the Telltale Games and Don’t Nod back catalogues. Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People is great fun, and Life Is Strange Before The Storm plays really well too. :)
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!
Horizon Zero Dawn. Had it on PS4 and didn’t get far. Having a Deck changes everything.

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
Would you say Hifi rush is worth the price in amount of content terms? I’ve been switherong on it for a while.
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.
Been playing BOTW but also XCOM 2 and the roguelike deckbuilders bundle from Humble Bundle recently. Loving the steamdeck so much.
how is Botw performing?
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.
TOTK! Runs great via some of the latest Yuzu updates.
Also Pizza Tower and a bit of PGA 2K21 here and there.
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.
Not the same games but exact same vibe. Need to be able to turn it off literally minutes after I start. Can’t wait to game with the kids. I want them to be older already but also not yet.
Careful what you wish for. All my kids play is the Roblox SDK to design train games lol. Ok I guess we do rock the occasional Mario Cart 😁
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
Tunic is amazing! You might be a bit lost but with time things start making sense
Played through Bioshock, I forgot how good that game was.
