Sorry this discussion post is a bit late, I should probably set a reminder for it.

Prince of Persia: the Lost Crown
I’ve been replaying horizon zero dawn, however I’ve been struggling to keep going. I keep coming back to Celeste instead. I also just started sonic adventure 2.
Celeste is so good. SA2 for the Chao gardens, they are so cute!!
Replaying Sonic Adventure 2 was interesting, the sonic/shadow levels were still pretty great but the tails/eggman levels were way worse than my childhood memories led me to believe.
Last game I played was Lorelai. Why did nobody tell me how frickin awesome that game is? I thought it was a generic jumpscare 3d horror indy. But it’s actually really cool horror adventure. And the previous title in the series The Cat Lady is even more badass.
Got Lorelai some time ago for free on GOG and never played it because of above reservations. But somehow it always stayed in my head so I decided to actually try it and was blown away.

Been playing God of War Ragnarok. It’s just crazy to me how well it runs on deck.
Defenders quest 2 just released after 10 years of development! I’ve been having a very enjoyable time with that, the initial launch was rough on the deck but the first patch worked out the interface issues it was having.
Infinitode 2 (I guess I have a thing for tower defense games)
And some ‘tiny rogue’
Also tried ‘cat goes fishing’, but a couple things are irking me about it, it’s enjoyable enough and was cheap enough that I’m not upset.
Fired up ‘prodeus’ for the first time since activating it from a humble bundle (I think?) it has all the good feelings of the original doom, it’s just a bit too stressful for me, especially at midnight when I tried playing it.
‘boxes’ is a kinda meh puzzle game, it’s a bit high on its own farts, if it wants to be as deep and philosophical as I think it does, it needs to have much better puzzles, but if I ignore the story and don’t think too much about the ‘why not just break the glass’ it’s an enjoyable enough game.
Downloaded the shin magami tensi 5 demo,
Have never played any of that series.
Read it was a bit like persona (could never get into it because I don’t care about managing the day to day activities of a high schooler), was pretty happy to learn that it wasn’t (at least as far as I’ve gotten), it reminds me of the game boy color game ‘dragon warrior monsters’
I thought about buying it, but I have so many unplayed games already, and while I enjoy a good monster collector game, I couldn’t justify pulling the trigger.
Also it was a bit too similar to persona, when it did go on that direction, for me to be confident it wouldn’t jerk back in that direction.
Maybe when I have all the time in the world I’ll put time and money into that game, for now it’s a half completed demo on my deck.
I’ve played most of that game, I would describe it as a creature collector with better combat and dark souls style world exploration. There’s little to no highschool/persona content.
Just got Risk of Rain 2 and am enjoying it much more than I thought I would! Usually shooters aren’t my thing.
I am flying the shit out of attack and transport helis in Operation Harsh Doorstop on my steam deck which is truly a joy to fly with. The helis are fairly realistic which means flying them like a maniac is addictive as hell .
I have also been playing a lot more pvp Beyond All Reason as I continue to get more comfortable with playing using onboard joysticks and gyro controls. The biggest problem I have is RTS players can’t wrap their head around me not using a mouse (they aren’t very imaginative I guess, I don’t understand). This means that in situations my control scheme is less efficient than a mouse, players have ZERO patience with me but in the situations where joysticks + gyro is more efficient than mouse (certain types of micro, also placing buildings accurately but quickly) people either think I am a much higher level player trolling or that I am drunk or something because my cursor movements just don’t look like a mouse is doing them.
sigh just gotta wait longer until stuffy pc gamers who think a mouse is the only way actually shut up and listen, not holding my breath…
I’ve mostly been emulating lately. I’ve been playing Quest for Hat, which is an Earthbound rom hack, and Donkey Kong Country 2 since those have RetroAchievement’s achievement of the week and achievement of the month respectively.
Nier Automata grinding for 100℅, Marvel Rivals rarely, 20 mins till dawn
Mario Odyssey, Civ 6, Crash Bandicoot N’Sane Trilogy. and Ascent.
Having lots of fun with these games. Still amazes me how switch emulation is so smooth on the Deck.
My coworkers keep telling me to do The Witcher. I’m interested in doing civ7 but also c/patientgamers lol.
I have been liking Halo Wars, MCC, Hollow Knight and Hades on the deck.
The Witcher is amazing, highly recommend it, especially if you are into RPGs with meaningful story
If you like Halo, and I know this is scandalous to say, but try Halo Infinite on the Big Team Battle playlist!
Halo multiplayer has never been this good and I don’t necessarily say that because I am a massive fan of Halo Infinite, it is just undeniably damn good halo.
I am not quite into MP at the moment, but maybe I will. I did like H3 MP so much back in the day.
It feels like halo 3 MP+, don’t listen to people who still bash the multiplayer, their opinion is out of date, whoever is currently calling the shots at Halo infinite’s multiplayer dev team clearly genuinely loves halo multiplayer, it is unmistakable in the whole vibe of big team battle.
There is also a forge mode like halo 3!
I’m not sure I qualify as I play on mobile instead of Steam Deck, but Balatro is on both and it’s too addicting not to mention. Currently 85% of the way to winning with all decks on the hardest difficulty and it just keeps getting more fun.
Potioncraft: Alchemist Simulator. Love the mechanics, it’s like what I wished Strange Horticulture would be when I first picked it up.
LEGO Bricktales it reminds me of Captain Toad but with brick building puzzles. Good fun.
