Super Mario All Stars, just to spite Nintendo.
I’m replaying through the Metroid Prime Trilogy again, primehack is amazing.
I should pick that up again. I remember getting stuck somewhere in the first one.
i just added Luigi Mansion 2 HD and it work flawless with Yuzu
Untitled Goose Game. Silly fun.
I tried Satisfactory, but the controls just aren’t (yet) made for a controller.
Dang. I wanted to try Satisfactory on it.
There’s a profile I tried on my desktop during update 8 that wasn’t terrible on an xbox controller, it’s surprisingly playable imo, works well with action groups, probably be way nicer on the deck with something like rotary menus on the trackpads and using the back buttons for modifiers.
I’d give it a try anyhow, just probably going to need some fiddling to get where you want.
You could, but there’s no official control scheme. My experience wasn’t great, but maybe yours will be better. I just think that since there’s so many buttons (multiple toolbars, multiple menus and build modes, etc.), it’s hard to make it all work.
Maybe I’ll try my hand at a new control scheme, but it just seems built for a M+Kb. It plays well, though, so the limitation really is only the controls.
Thanks to the both of you. I’ll give it a shot.
Dave the Diver!
Started playing Animal Well the other day. It’s quite good.
It’s been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It’s a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that’s implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.
The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
That’s pretty high praise, I’ll check it out.
+1 shotgun king
Shotgun King is definitely a fun game. The worst part about it is how I’ve played enough to where I’m stuck on one of the higher difficulties and and bored of it.
Ghost of Tsushima and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I finished the main story of both games yesterday but now I’ve got DLC to play.
I told my friend when I got my Deck I wouldn’t just use it as an emulation device…yeah I mostly use it for PCSX2
Been playing through Midnight Club 3 Remix the last week
A lot of Rocket League! Additionally I’ve been having a pretty good time with Star Trucker.
Then recently I’ve been streaming Helldivers 2 from my PC to my Deck while it’s connected to the living room TV, which has been fun.
RDR2, works so well on the Deck, kinda blows my mind.
Yep it really does
Arkham Knight, Max Payne 2, and this super complex game called Blender 3D in which I have made donuts.
hell yeah blender is awesome
It is. I’ve been away from it for a few years, and these new Geometry Nodes and hair systems are pretty incredible. So long particle system. It’s really come a long way since about 2.9 when I last played with it.
And the deck handles it pretty solidly, but it’d be nice if GPU rendering were supported.
Nine Sols!
Who would’ve guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck’s speaker is just so satisfying.
Hell yeah. Been hanging out for getting this one.
ttyd switch, echoes of wisdom.
What emu are you using and how does it run ?
ryujinx literally minutes before it was shut down. on steam deck at least it seems impossible for the audio to stay in sync and occasionally you have to pause emulation and resume after the sound stops to bring it back in sync. Maybe a spot of lag or frame drop when some things happen for the first time, but mostly stable 30fps. I’ll probably switch to desktop once I have space to set it up if the audio desync doesn’t happen there.
Oh hey, I was having this issue. Changed the audio to OpenAL, restarted, and haven’t had any problems since. Might be worth a try if you haven’t already.
I still have an old yuzu installed but might gibe it a go with the latest firmware and see how ot goes. Unfortunately i didn’t snag ryujinx on deck but at least grabbed the source from mirrors after the fact.
Edit
With firmware 18.1.0 and matching keys it works on steamdeck, the yuzu used is out of date by a few but its close enough to the final ea version floating around. Sound is fine on the rift areas and only issue so far is sometimes the rift can look weird in the villages but its a minor cosmetic issue. Made it through the first rift with no issues and probably explored a large chunk of the map. Not seeing any slowdowns.
I think the flatpak is still up.
Fuck Nintendo.
Thanks got it today just in case. It doesn’t follow the emudeck setup if anyone else is wonderinf as they do some symlinking and maybe some preconfigued settings but they can be configured manually .
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. Just finished the story mode. It’s Steam Deck Verified, so it runs and plays well, and it’s easy to play with a controller because it has a bit of auto-aim/aim correction.
I did enjoy it. Not a must play by any means, but it does add to the lore of the Alan Wake series. If you are a fan of that game series, I recommend playing this. And if you aren’t, you probably should play the other games in the series. 😉
Haven’t been playing it much recently, but I’ve gotten to a point in Pokemon Unbreakable Ties where I’m stubbornly bashing my head against a wall to win a battle, so that’s off the table for a while.
And the only other games I’ve actually played recently are Yooka-Laylee (only 2 levels in due to exploration and a lot of goofing around), Baba Is You, and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. But I’ve only been playing a little bit since I’ve been busy enough.
Sea of Stars went on sale and it’s fantastic.
