Hey all,

Old time gamer here, haven’t played anything recent in years. Picked up a deck with the sale and looking to pick up a “premium” game. So far I am going back and forth between

  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • FFVII Remake
  • No Man’s Sky

I am not a huge fan of shooters and I know these three have more of an action gameplay style. I have Skyrim which I have played a tad on PC and could see myself playing that on the deck.

What I’d like is something I can pick up and play for an hour or less and put back down for a few days.

Things I’d love in a game

  • some level of replayability / open world content to mess around with
  • good story
  • good ambience / music

And obviously something that plays decent on the deck.

I am leaning on Cyberpunk even with reading and watching mixed-to-negative reviews.

You can’t go wrong with picking up Hades, game feels like it was made for a handheld, however it’s not really a premium AAA game like the ones you listed.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the LOTR Shadow games (Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War). Both play great, have a open world, tons of content, and are usually on sale for <$10
