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?
I’m loving a lesser known game called Necesse, which runs great on the Deck!
Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Time Wasters, Diablo 4, Cult of the Lamb. I prefer 2D games, the controls are a lot easier - I’m not used to controllers :) I also have to finish Octopath Traveller so I can play the sequel.
Dark Souls 2 with a very nice lighting mod. It’s called DS2LightingEngine SOFTS. I played DS1 and DS3 but could never get into DS2, partly owing to the visuals which I really didn’t like. Now it looks cool and I’m getting a few deaths in here and there on the deck.
I had a hard time getting into DS2 for a variety of reasons, but I did play all the way through on the deck. Being able to set negative deadzones to fix DS2’s horrible defaults went a long way toward making it more playable for me. Kinda wish I’d found that mod, but I wasn’t too put off by the visuals.
Im currently swapping between playing Rimworld, and Tape to Tape.
Tape to Tape is a hockey rogue lite that playes like classic nhl games with a bit of Mario Strikers.
How is Rimworld on the deck? I’ve seen that it’s supposed to be “Verified” but it seems like a game with so much mouse-based activity that it would be really annoying to try to do on the deck.
Also, how does it handle mods? Because I may have… one or two… hundred.
Not the OC, but I personally wasn’t fond of trying to play it on the Steam Deck. The UI just really lends itself to mouse and keyboard IMO.
I’m sure you could get comfortable playing on the Steam Deck with time, but there’s definitely going to be an adjustment period.
As for mods, I probably don’t have nearly as many as you installed, but it worked perfectly fine with the 5-6 mods I was using.
Dead Cells, and it’s fantastic. It feels like the Steamdeck is made for platformers.
