Grabbed Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for £4.99 and having a blast. Completed the first game last night and now started on the second one. Runs like a dream, EA launcher didn’t cause any issues (I loaded it in desktop mode the first time) and the game is as good as I remember from first time around.
The only issue I’m having is when I use the HDR calibration in game I wind up losing a bunch of detail in dark areas and the image overall is way too dark.
I’ve also picked up subnautica ready to give it a proper go at some point after picking it up and it not quite gripping me on game pass on desktop.
I’m just getting used to the idea that my SteamDeck can also play games outside the Halo: Anniversary collection.
Also, ‘Sonic All Star Racing: Transformed’ is really good.
Tetris Effect finally got me…
I want Tetris Effect, but it feels priced too high when I already have so many other copies of Tetris on various platforms.
I get that. I will say TE is pretty unique and the production values are off the charts. Meanwhile it’s packed with modes, not to mention multiplayer options.
I’m not saying I’d pay full price for it, but at half price during the winter sale it was worth it, IMO.
I just finished Signalis, and am going back to The Long Dark, which I last played 2022. Looks good on the Deck.
I am also checking out Songs of Conquest, but currently my audio is bugged :(
That’s unfortunate about Songs of Conquest, according to Protondb everything is supposed to work in that game.
It’s really weird and I think that maybe Proton is to blame. However, devs are very forthcoming and helping me to find what’s causing the issues. Also, it’s still in early access so I am not to worried about it getting fixed.
Stardew Valley has taken over my Deck since, uhh, October or something. Really, I want to play other games…
Dark Souls PTDE runs decently despite how it’s listed as far as compatibility. Which is good, because I gave up on the remastered edition to actually get cheap
That’s the version I have, so I’m glad to hear it runs decently.
It’s just a bit finicky getting past the name entry part of the character creation screen (and crashes if you try and change the controls using the in-game menu) and then it’s great after that
Like a dragon the man who erased his name (streaming with moonlight) and 20 minutes til dawn (on deck). Loving them both, both fill different moods.
I want to play an RTS and have Halo Wars in my library, so I’m trying to get that running over Sunshine/Moonlight and knock it off my backlog.
If you don’t mind me asking, why are you trying to stream it instead of just running it on the deck? My understanding is it runs great, and has great battery life.
Sure, valid question. I tend to set up all my in progress games for streaming, as I spend a good chunk of time playing within my home network. I get to enjoy the games with the horsepower and high settings of my main rig, and incredible battery life on the SD.
