Startet The Witcher last week, the controls aren’t as wonky as i remembered.

Skyrim, I have modded the game on Steam Deck and installed a bunch of mods, including, Beyond Skyrim Bruma and it runs great.
All the deck modding guides make me anxious messing about with the game filesystem. But I would like a decent inventory manager. How easy is it to restore the game and saves if you cock up?
I just installed Vortex and modded Skyrim. I also have a couple of mods on Stardew Valley. For Skyrim, I was following https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/118alll/mod_skyrim_w_vortex_working_no_pc_needed/ and installed Vortex and there you can install and uninstall mods from the manager itself. Making them run is a bit tricky, but it is definitely worth it.

Picked up elden ring on sale three weeks ago, and already have 90 hourd in it, and I’m on my second run. First was a strength build, and now a dex/arcane bleed build!
There was a sorcerer build in between those two, but it trivialised my favourite part of the game so I stopped it
Persona 5 Royal Reloaded
I got P5R on steam sale at lowest price and found out with a jail broken PS4 (which i have) you can convert your save to PC so you don’t have to start over (completed first dungeon on PS4 and dropped it a few years ago)
Can’t stop playing it now, especially with mods that mix up the battle music and one ones that restore the oddly cut content shown in the recently leaked 2015 beta build. (More hangouts and more “M” rated language present)
The wife and I are doing our first play through of stardew valley.
It’s a lot better than I expected
If you’re playing on PC and end up wanting more content, I can’t reccomend the Stardew Valley Expanded modpack enough.
Adds a ton of new townsfolk, and an entire second neighboring town, all as fully fleshed out as the OG townies and all woven in with base game content to the point that they don’t stand out as mod added.
ALSO the anthro character mod… my sweet dragon Abigail.
Maybe SVE on the first playthrough is a little much…
Thanks! We will finish vanilla and then look into mods. We haven’t even unlocked ginger island yet. Haha
Ghost of Tsushima - Took a while to click, but now I’m really enjoying it. Pulling off some of the sword moves perfectly feels so satisfying. And it’s gorgeous to look at.
And also Dave the Diver. Very charming game and it keeps adding more and more layers to the gameplay. The gameplay loop is really fun so far.
I really enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima when it premiered on the PS5. As you say the satisfaction of pulling off the sword moves is really nice. The story isn’t bad either and some of the fight bosses certainly keep you on your toes. I brought the DLC expansion the day it came out just so I could spend some more time slashing away ;-)
I was wanting to play something ‘Assassin’s Creed-y’ and this has really fit the bill! I like how easily you can be killed.
Should I play the DLC content after I’ve beaten the main game? It looks like I can go to the additional island whenever I want.
I’m playing Dishonored these days. It was highly recommended after I said I was loving Prey.
Is it OK if I’m not loving it? Hahaha.
The no kill limitation was really shoe-horned in there, so I think I’ll only really have fun on the second playthrough. Shame.
Prey limits you quite a bit for the good ending, but it’s still complex, broad and fun.
The Last of Us Part 2 - what a RIDE!
Did you know Need For Speed: World is alive and kicking? Not officially, obviously, but through the power of fan servers and the wonderful project that is Soapbox Race World. It’s not the best NFS in the series and can be pretty tough if you play it without power ups but it’s fun.
For those who never heard of NFS:W - it’s a live service, online only entry in the series. It consists of maps from Most Wanted and Carbon combined into one and brings some additional gameplay changes specific for the live service model (power ups, performance parts with incremental stats upgrades etc). It also has a pretty good visual editor - can be a bit cumbersome at times but you can do some great stuff with it.
Fan servers are surprisingly active and provide A LOT of new cars, parts etc do play with. They also have different rules so if you want a place where getting everything you want is easy, you can do that as well.
My second game is Wagahime or Waga Himegimi ni Eikan o, a comedy visual novel by Minato Soft. Unlike their other work (that I read anyway) it’s set in a medieval fantasy world with magic, beast races and all the usual stuff. It has three main routes, each expanding the world and providing details for the other ones, and each filled with fun characters and events.
I won’t be spending much time on it since all that’s left is finishing the final route but it’s a great read and I really wanted to mention it. Minato Soft seriously reignited my love for VNs lately.
Last but not least, Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery - a sci-fi strategy RPG. It came out this year so I’m not going to go too much into it but it’s a great and at times challenging title. Worth looking into if you’re interested in this genre.
I haven’t played this week, but I’ve been playing Crusader Kings 3 for a few weeks now, and it’s really cool.
I’ve started Celeste last week and damn that game get difficult quick (at least if you try to get all the strawberries^^). Also the Pico8 version is a whole other beast o.O
Also the usual TF2 for me, which now miraculously works on Linux again…
Finally got into Baldur’s Gate 3, and oh boy! I get what people were saying. I’m INVESTED. I’m going Dark Urge and currently trying to figure out if I wanna be with Karlach or Shadowheart.
Shadow heart has some nice early appeal, but karlach is bae all the way. Tried to go with shadow heart the first time around, and couldn’t bring myself to do it to karlach
Been going back to Minecraft parkour and adventure maps, lots of fun
