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.

That’s pretty high praise, I’ll check it out.
In between
God of war (lowest settings capped to 30 due to the memory leak)
Bad North
Mini metro
Forza horizon 4
Fallout 4
Vampire survivors
The GoW memory leak shouldn’t be an issue once SteamOS 3.6 hits stable, it uses ZRAM which will keep the game from crashing the Deck.
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.
Thronebreaker, Hogwards Legacy. I also started Bayonetta and recently finished (and real enjoyed) Hotline Miami 1 and 2. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 as well but my fps skills on a controller are so bad that it’s just too stressful.
How is Hogwarts Legacy nowadays ? I’m thinking to pick it up in the future but want to make sure it plays ok on deck.
Yeah, I did hacking + smart weapons for my CP2077 playthrough so that almost no aiming is required. I imagine melee builds play fine as well.
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
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.
- Balatro
- Peglin
- Some pokemon rom hacks
- Dragon quest monsters
- Necesse
Brotato, hocus pocus.
remnant
Remnant 1 or 2?
Currently 1, but we will soon be at the dlc content. 2 After that.
Currently I’m playing through Ready Or Not, the engine update and them adding FSR3.0 made the game playable at the best of times! However the Deck still freezes and crashes occasionally sadly.
UFO 50. Going through each game, 1 by 1.
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.
I’m playing EDF: World Brothers 2 with a friend, and also bouncing between Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Monster Hunter Rise.
I’m looking forward to getting back into Shadows of Doubt. It just came out of early access, and recent updates included a ton of steam deck optimizations and major improvements to controller support. There are some great user control profiles already available, but I look forward to being able to play it docked as well with a standard controller.
Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Dirt 4.
Nostalgia stuff: Crash Bandicoot PS1, Worms World Party PS1, NFL Street PS2, MX Superfly PS2, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition PS2, probably some others
