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?

    Steam Deck best tech purchase for me in a long time. Don’t judge me too much but I’ve been playing Disney Speedstorm between TotK sessions.

    Disco Elysium. Fantastic writing and pretty hilarious at times.

    It’s also pretty good as a portable PC when traveling too, so that’s nice.

    Celeste Strawberry Jam

    An absolute masterpiece that runs perfectly on the Deck

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

    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!

    Stardew Valley works nicely with the Steam Deck, though with all the mods it literally takes 10 minutes to load. On the plus side though, the suspend feature basically let’s me just keep the game running for days.

    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.

    I have 400 steam games, a Series X, a PS5, a Switch OLED, a gaming PC, but I spend most of my time playing Brotato on my Steam Deck.

    I’ve actually set my Deck up with a wireless keyboard and mouse and a monitor and spend a lot of time using it in desktop mode. The “real” gaming PC is still around, but it’s a fallback. So I’m arguably playing Beehaw on it right now, but I just alt-tabbed away from Overload to do this. I’ll play Guild Wars 2 on it for a while tomorrow…

    It’s mostly all ToTK, all the time here, but on the Deck, it’s the System Shock remake. Runs very nicely, but the controller support is so so & I haven’t spent the time setting up a config map yet.

    Diablo 4 for me! Amazing performance, it can even run on Ultra but battery is sucked dry within 45 minutes

      Have you tried lower settings to see if you get better battery life? Do you have any issues with the always online if you put it to sleep? I almost never exit a game on my steam deck unless I’m switching to a new one

      I’ve been pondering getting this. I must be one of 10 people who have never played a Diablo game. Do you think 4 is approachable for newbs to the franchise?
