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.
Hey I know I am going to literally have people throw fusion coils at me for saying this but halo infinite multiplayer is actually really fun now and free (and it works great on the deck).
Can't stop playing Risk Of rain returns
Fallout new Vegas , I'm doing a new run after so many years Feels good
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'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.
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’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.
Been playing RDR Online with a friend, but had to make a new account because the email to my 10 year old account tied to my PlayStation is old and deleted, and rockstar support seems to be breaking the record for hottest garbage I’ve encountered so far.
Station 2 Station. I dont think its Deck Verified yet, but it runs great. Its so easy to turn off brain, chill to the music, and lay down some train tracks and bridges while the time just disappears. If you want, you can tryhard it, which is also fun, depending on the mood.
Just got back into plateup today after a long hiatus. It's great alone or with friends, and always seems to be on sale.
Final Profit. Talos Principle 2, and now I get enough of the mechanics to go back and do a lot of Talos Principle 1.
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'm playing through Persona 5, but I've also gotten on a pinball kick lately. Picked up Demon's Tilt and Xenotilt during the steam sale, and have also been emulating Metroid Prime Pinball which is the game that first got me into pinball.
I'm interested in any other pinball recommendations if anyone has some.
Go into desktop mode's Discover Store, and get Space Cadet Pinball
Thanks for the suggestion, I actually have played that so much in prior years that I got kinda burned out on it. It's a good pinball game for sure though.
RDR2 when I want to get immersed.
Shovel Knight when I want something lighter.
I bought so many games. Sales are going insane right now. I’m playing Tetris Effect (but there’re issues with TV output currently) and Horizon Zero Dawn. I’ll hop on Monster Hunter World every now and then too.
Still finishing Control, as well as Kaiju Wars, which has helped scratch that Advance Wars itch while also being new
I was in the mood for some twin stick shooters. I found Revita and ScourgeBringer, and have been playing some Ubermosh. Revita is really fun, it says unsupported but the game works fine on Deck (no 12800x800 though). The standard game has a pretty good community template, but the beta version of the game seems to be the "definitive update" which didn't have as strong a template so I added and uploaded one.
I keep coming back to MH Rise with my friend though, playing it docked on the TV :)
Went to look up Revita, and it turns out I already own it from some bundle. Thanks, I'll check it out.
Definitely opt into the public beta (2.0) as it has a number of updates that the base game doesn't. I do recommend my control scheme template, but only to help get you started playing sooner! ;) Took me a minute to fine tune it to make it really feel good.
Sea of Stars
Chilling with Teardown and a bit of Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game on the weekends. Exam week is nigh, so I won't have much free time, but I really really want to grab Class of 09 on the Winter sale. It's full of SOVL.
Binding of isaac rebirth. Fun Lil game. I got gnawed leaf and midas touch on one go. Easiest thing ever. Just stand there, max out coins, and everything that touches me dies. Funny as shit.
