Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

    Playing Cyberpunk and Ace Combat.

    As a toddler+newborn dad I flat out need the option of playing on TV or in bed, and instantly flipping on or off.

    I honestly never dreamed of something like this when I grew up gaming on Windows 95+. Can’t wait 'til I can game with my sons.

      Not the same games but exact same vibe. Need to be able to turn it off literally minutes after I start. Can’t wait to game with the kids. I want them to be older already but also not yet.

    Last game I played on it, yesterday, was Just Cause 3. It’s… not great. The game just doesn’t run consistently enough and is too CPU heavy.

    I recently played Red Dead Redemption 2 on it, that was great. Surprisingly so. I’m playing Skyrim now. I’ve had the game for years but never took the time to properly get into it. I beat the main quest and messed with mods back in the day but that’s it.

    Now, I’m playing it vanilla and I want to just go deep into the game, completely ignoring the main quest, I don’t want to be the hero, if the universe needs saving, it can find someone else. Khajiit have caves to explore and stuff. Oh and the new Survival Mode is neat!

    Horizon Zero Dawn. Had it on PS4 and didn’t get far. Having a Deck changes everything.

    Vampire Survivors for a while. Lately I just finished up a run through of Pokemon Red and just got started on a run of Pokemon Silver.

    Been mostly playing ToTK on switch like some here, though I think I’ll have to give a few more attempts at P ranking some bosses in Pizza Tower soon, or perhaps try to 100% Hifi Rush

      Would you say Hifi rush is worth the price in amount of content terms? I’ve been switherong on it for a while.

        Sorry for the late reply! It’s really a question of how you approach postgame content. It’s a fairly short “linear campaign” with hidden challenges for level replays. For me the story was fun and the mechanics engaging enough to enjoy beyond the short playtime.

        I still enjoy turning it on to do a few fights and enjoy the rhythm mechanics, might do a new play through.

    Yeah, baby! Somebody point me in the direction of another Steam Deck subre-… Channel?

    I’ve been playing lots of Street Fighter 6, but also Metroidvania indies. Currently playing through They Always Run and it’s pretty much pixel 2d Mandalorian and it’s pretty damn cool!

    I’m playing through Far Cry 6, and it’s running perfectly (Proton GE). I’m genuinely surprised by how good it works, even if that game chews my battery.

    Mostly point and click adventures. Harvey’s New Eyes is my favorite among those I’ve finished for now

    I’ve been playing System Shock 2, the original version i got from GOG (it took a bit to make the controls work but it works fine, though i found a weird bug with non-Steam games in that if you rename the game it loses the control settings - e.g. i set up the controls when the icon was named “SS2.exe” but when i renamed it to “System Shock 2” later it lost the settings until i renamed it back to “SS2.exe” :-P).

    I also played a bit of Stranger of Sword City, a turn-based and grid-based blobber. I find the deck works fine with such games.

    Also both games play just fine at ~5Watt settings (i like to optimize the settings per-game to get more battery life out of the system).

    I’m using it almost exclusively during commuting between my hometown and my girlfriend’s current city (nearly 4h) for which the deck is an absolute godsent

    Played through the Sherlock Holmes games and now am playing the Ace Attorney games (for which the Deck is probably a bit overpowered but so what).

    Not a huge fan of fast-paced games on the deck since I have a pretty good PC at home with a 144hz 1440p monitor which I really miss with games like Else Ring or (especially) Rocket League

    Steam Deck install base: less than 2 million

    Nintendo Switch install base: 125+ million

    But by all means let’s talk about Steam Deck.

    Here we go again…

      What does this even mean? People shouldn’t talk about it because it doesn’t have as many users?
