I bought Tunic and Crosscode.

I jumped straight into Tunic, and am having a great time. I recently finished Outer Wilds and was wanting another knowledge based progression game.

[–] pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Enjoy, both OW and Tunic are up there in my favourite games. Return of the Obra Dinn is another good one, if you didn't play it already.

Chasing after that same high, I bought the newest versions of Myst and Riven, never played the originals. Quite stumped in the first level of Myst. I feel like I may enjoy Riven more, but gonna try and stick with Myst first.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

Return of the Obra Dinn is on my list, but I haven't played it yet. I did play through Forgotten City earlier this year, and it was really good.

Did you also get recommended the "Metroid Brainia" video on YouTube a few days ago? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JA3UAYgd5Nw

I also just bought Tunic and Outer Wilds! Tunic is great so far

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

I did, but I haven't actually watched it yet. I've been wanting to buy tunic/ow for years now.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

I can't be the only one who bought Animal Well

[–] ascril@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I bought Baldur's Gate 3, Deep Rock Galactic and Undertale.

Right now, I am trying to get into Mass Effect 3, but I think I need a little break from it after completing ME2.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The new season of DRG has suckered me back in, and some more of my friends just bought it as well. I hope you have a good time with it, it's possibly my favorite game of all time.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

In my opinion Deep Rock Galactic is easily the best co-op shooter of all time, hands down.

Yes LFD 2 and Helldivers 2 are great, and if your preference is for those games or warhammer Vermintide or whatever, fair enough, but I think from a game mechanics standpoint Deep Rock Galactic is a nearly flawless game. The guns all feel chunky and great, the verticality is SUPERB, the movement mechanics for the scout class have a ridiculously high skill ceiling, the tunneling mechanics are mindblowing just by themselves in the way they deepend combat and tactics, the ambiance is KILLER especially given the relatively simple but still attractive graphics, the Devs are super chill and release cosmetic DLCs so everyone can get new content... the list just goes on and on

I don't think people are ever going to get sick of it, I am confident you are always going to be able to find co-op lobbies to hop onto far into the future.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I agree. I think the way that different terrain changes combat is key, and when combined with the players ability to shape terrain (especially with the driller or engi) has created a system that can constantly feel fresh for combat.

I've put a lot of hours into different coop shooters, but DRG is my most played steam game (675 hours) and still feels fresh.

Bought Dicey Dungeons as a good one to play on Deck. I can run it with the TDP on the GPU set to 3w, which increases the battery lifespan impressively, while still running great! Plus the game itself lends itself well to the deck I'd say.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

Great game, I've now bought it on 3 different platforms which is rare for me.

[–] Nighed@sffa.community 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I bought Reus 2 (A puzzle god game) at launch last month - game changer!

Finally a game that I enjoy playing on the deck and actually want to play after work on my commute etc. highly recommend it.

[–] sunred@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)
[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

I picked this up last month, and it's a blast.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

How have I not heard of this game? It looks awesome.

[–] any1th3r3@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago

I picked up quite a few games - Deathsmiles, DoDonPachi Resurrection, Mega Man X Legacy Collection, Mushihimesama, ProtoCorgi, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, TMNT Shredder's Revenge and Ultrakill.

I've only played ProtoCorgi so far and I kinda love it - I mean, you're a corgi, barking or shooting lasers at various enemies in space, what's not to love?
I've already played most of the other games before and wanted to own them on Steam, except for Ultrakill (and I'm really looking forward to that one).

[–] Malunga@derpzilla.net 3 points 4 months ago

I'm finally playing Elex on my steam deck (started like three times on my stationary PC, but never came close to finish). So I bought Elex 2.

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 3 points 4 months ago

I bought The Falconeer yesterday, haven't played it yet, I'm looking at my wishlist and considering more options

[–] Templa 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I bought Hyperspace Outlaw. My spouse already played it but it is so big that I want to see the stuff he didn't find. I also fucking love Zane's page music.

[–] LoamImprovement 2 points 4 months ago

Seepage is one of those bands that just sticks in your brain. If you like the tongue-in-cheek of Zane's angsty edgelord teen vibes, the developers also made a doomlike in the same universe, developed by and starting that character.

[–] tiberius@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Logged in at least 21 hours in it. It's also at that price point where you feel indifferent if you don't like it.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

sad there's no visions of mana community here but i haven't put it down since i got it on thursday. it runs great on the steamdeck :)

[–] Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Fallout 76. Got hooked after watching the show and went through the previous 3d games back to back. Also bought Undertale but haven't fully committed to that one yet.

[–] jherazob 2 points 4 months ago

After letting them pass many times (well, one of them, the other's more recent), this time i said "Meh, let's do it this time" and got Untitled Goose Game and Little Kitty, Big City. Both got me hooked immediately, did all the achievements for the kitty and nearly all for the goose (there's some for speedrunning, and I'm not really into doing that, so likely those achievements are gonna stay undone forever). Both were fun and would recommend them.

King Hearts Final Mix (the entire collection)
It Takes Two
V Rising

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I had some friends who were huge into Kingdom Hearts growing up, so I'm kinda curious about playing it now that it's on Steam. However the numbering of the series makes it really unclear what games I need to play to experience the core story.

[–] WilfordGrimley@linux.community 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The release order does the best job of revealing information in an entertaining way. You can safely just watch cut scenes for the non numbers games (1.5, 2.5 and 3 are mainline most important)

For me playing through is a big nostalgia trip. The writing isn't great and the gameplay in Chain of Memories is extremely annoying for the first few hours but I am happy to be able to go hang with all of the Disney characters I did when I was a kid and I finally get to play KH3!!!

[–] Zahtu@feddit.de 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Bought Everspace 2 (but on GOG) and so far it's playing great, even though power consumption is still quite high. But it's great for a session of about 1-2 hours, which I am fine with. Otherwise still playing wandering Village from the last sale and a bit of LotR RtM.

[–] LoamImprovement 2 points 4 months ago

Started playing #BLUD, I'm only about ten minutes in because sleep got the better of me last night but it looks pretty good so far.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

i've only bought one right before the steam sale but i have a bunch i'm considering later this week with payday. :)

before the steam sale i got secret of mana and i've been enjoying it so much (as someone who played the og so much at my friends house growing up)

i'm also considering final fantasy 13, final fantasy 12, two point campus/hospital, trials of mana, MAYBE jedi fallen order but it is an ea game so eehhh, fable, and tbh i'm thinking about the south park suite of games just for a dumb, stupid mindless steam deck game :)

it's also not steam deck compatible but i'm also thinking about pro wrestling sim since i loved tew.

  • Bloons TD 6: this plays great on the deck, especially with the touchscreen
  • Euro Truck Simulator 2: mostly just got it as it was super cheap and I saw some of my friends already have it
  • Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy: looked super fun when I saw my friends play, but I don't really like the controls on the deck

For anyone looking for some other nice games for the deck, I can heavily recommend:

  • Stray
  • Dave The Diver
  • Celeste
