Between the recent Steam sale and all the good bundles lately, I’m interested to see what everyone’s playing.
Can’t stop playing Risk Of rain returns
SSX Tricky through Xemu
Whatever else I play, I always come back to Stardew Valley. There’s always something you can do there, and there’s always something you can find. It just never gets me bored.
Do you play vanilla or modded? I’ve heard mods add a lot of extra life to the game.
@blindsight pretty much everywhere mods add a lot of extra life to the game 😁 but for Stardew Valley specifically, I haven’t modded it yet. If I get bored though, I might.
I’m deep down in the Snow Runner-trench. It’s like Euro Truck Simulator, but mud and snow and in a week I’ve already spent like 14 hours or so. It take sooo much time to get things done though.
Snowrunner is brilliant
I’ve been playing Murder by Numbers. I actually like it more on my deck than on my PC, as I like the controller interface better than with a mouse.
I’ve been playing this too! Feels funny to play a game on the Deck that could probably be a mobile game lol.
I played through this awhile back, enjoyed it a lot.
I’ve been playing this as well! If I have more time, I play a part of the story, and if I don’t, I play a few puzzles of “Scout‘s memories”.
I’ve been racking up Scouts memories to play through after I’m done with the story.
I think I’m about 1/2 through the final chapter right now, so I should be getting over to Scout shortly.
Been playing Dave the Diver. Pretty chill. Great game to play after a stressful day at work haha
Fallout new Vegas , I’m doing a new run after so many years Feels good
The entire Halo series.
I never owned an Xbox growing up when the games were originally releasing. I recently got a Steam Deck and bought the Master Chief Collection on sale last week. I’ve been having an absolute blast working my way through the campaign (still early in the first game!), and I’m just kicking myself now that I never got into this earlier when the multiplayer was more populated. This shit is such my jam.
Oh what a treat! Everything up through Halo: Reach defined my teenage years. My friends and I had a blast trying to collect all of the campaign skulls on Legendary difficulty.
Invincible, Death Stranding, Gunner Heat PC, Deep Rock Galactic, Trepang2.
Starting to approach my limit on FPS games. Maybe transition a bit back on 4X games or base builders.
I’ll be playing through Risk of Rain Returns, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and my backlog of visual novels. The deck has become my main gaming machine now.
Oh also, randomly, Warframe is my most played game on my Deck! I got the Steam Deck for the first time a couple weeks ago and then went and bought a bunch of new games with the recent sale…but a free MMO shooter is what has kept me hooked the most lately.
I’ve been playing Planet of Lana. It’s a puzzle platformer, very similar to Limbo or Inside. But there are some different mechanics that involve a companion animal that follows you around.
I am playing Coremon :)
Hades.
Having just finished Hollow Knight (in fact, I mentioned starting it in one of the previous discussion threads ), I find Hades to be a bit too repetitive. But I don’t want to make the same mistakes I did with Hollow Knight and give up early.
I will give this game a few more days before forming a conclusive opinion.
Speaking of Hollow Knight, I am glad I didn’t give up yet again. The game really opens up after the first few boss fights, and it was really fun exploring the lore, levelling up, and going through some of the bosses.
Farm Together - been playing with my gf split screen co-op on tv. The game is exactly what it says on the tin and it is awesome.
Modded Dayz (using DZGUI as mod manager) - I have been working on a steamdeck joystick+gyro control scheme and playing a bunch of V++ deathmatch and other deathmatch servers. Dayz runs almost comically well on the steamdeck I really don’t get it. The gunplay is unbelievably chunky and intense especially on servers with carefully curated gun mods. I love it.
Halo Infinite - finally not hardcrashing on me all the time on the steamdeck, I love the original three halos and despite what old halo fans half paying attention will tell you, halo infinite’s multiplayer is superb. It doesn’t hurt that it is free.
Deep Rock Galactic - Is there anything to even say about this gem?
Battlebit - I am having fun, I love having battlefield without EA but the problem is like a lot of battlefields the gun balance is totallllyyyyyyyyy skewed in favor of smg players who blindly rush so I am just not playing it as much right now. I can hold my ground and fight mid range more effectively in halo infinite without being call of duty smg spam which kind of breaks my brain (the guns I am using to do so half the time don’t even have iron sights lol?). I hope they fix this game.
(I play all of these with joysticks + gyro, no mouse and keyboard)
