This may overlap a lot with the discussion on what people are buying during the Steam sale discussion, but here it is anyways.

      Sorry, what game are you talking about?

      Also for push to talk, are you wanting to use that inside a specific game or for discord or what?

    Tunic. This game is beautiful and sessions on a full battery can last a while without charging. Highly recommend.

    Monster Hunter: World + Iceborne was on sale so I snagged it and I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit. Runs just fine on the deck and even though the game is clearly intended for multiplayer it works totally fine as a solo game.

    The main issue I had with the game is that there’s no pause button (as mentioned, it’s a game oriented towards multiplayer) which isn’t really compatible with my current life but with Decky Loader and the Pause Game plugin installed I can easily pause the game mid-quest without worrying about failing the time limit.

    Mad Max, snatched it for 2 bucks during the sale. Pretty good and chill game and well worth its price.

      Whoa. It runs on deck? I just finished it on desktop. Completionist wise it was such a burden and I wish it didn’t have any achievements. Hopefully your sand trip is awesome!

    Castlevania Dominus Collection. I don’t know how I ever beat the games way back when, now I have to rewind during boss fights a lot. Got bored with Dawn of Sorrow as it dragged on towards the True Ending, really enjoying Portrait of Ruin. Johnathan’s mobility combined with Charlotte’s “fuck you and everyone around you” make such a great team.

    After finally upgrading to a 1TB ssd yesterday, I can finally splurge on some bigger games.

    So right now I’m mostly playing vampire survivors

      I get what you’re saying, but the sentence order definitely sounds like you needed to upgrade to 1TB of storage in order to play bigger games like Vampire Survivors.

      This one is such a banger. Look up guides on how to parry consistently if the game didn’t explain it well enough. It’s crucial to the enjoyment of the game, yet it is explained oh so poorly.

    I broke down and bought Baldur’s Gate 3. I really tried to like it, but I did not.

    So now I bought Horizon: Forbidden West, but the Deck can’t play it, so I’m playing that on my desktop.

      with the latest 1.5 patch you can easily reach 60fps during normal gameplay (all low settings, FSR3 frame gen enabled). you can even reach 90fps incertain cases. its honestly impressive what they were able to squeeze out of the steamdeck.

      I’m sure your desktop plays it better, but it should now work on the Deck despite the unverified status (this is the case more often than not).

          You can always stream from your desktop to your Deck too if the performance on the Deck isn’t great.

          I do this with my PS5 sometimes. I played the majority of Miles Morales that way.

          Hey, what was it that you didn’t like about BG3? I haven’t played it yet because my patience for RPGs is low these days.

            BG3 is a pretty impressive game really. It’s clear that they poured a lot of effort and talent into it. It just feels… pointlessly complicated to me. There’s like, 200 different spells to cast, each with their own effectiveness based on a dice roll, a multitude of different configurations for character development which all feel both too similar and like I’m closing the door on something I might really like. The story is… okay, but really not that interesting to me, and the pacing in combination with the very open world and constant fiddling with gear with a multitude of only slightly different attributes… it’s just too much. The game feels more like a job than something I’d do for fun.

              That’s exactly why I avoided it. It’s a second job rather than fun (to me, plenty disagree of course). Thank you for confirming that. I’ll stick with more action heavy games.
