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?

    Celeste Strawberry Jam An absolute masterpiece that runs perfectly on the Deck

    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.

    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!

    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.

    After religiously following the order number tracking efforts on the Steam Deck subreddit (finally got mine May '22) it’s been my ‘clearing the backlog whilst sitting with the significant other’ device…heavily punctuated with Vampire Survivors and, lately, Diablo 4. It’s a great little roguelike device – stuff like Cult of the Lamb, Spelunky 2, and Rogue Legacy 2 – that I can just play for a few minutes wherever the Heck I’d like.

    I still find it like holding black magic. I’m a software engineer, and I understand how it works, but playing a Windows port of a PS4 game (like Horizon) in Linux in my hands is something I don’t think I’ll ever not be impressed by!

    I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.

    Been mostly playing ToTK on switch like some here, though I think I’ll have to give a few more attempts at P ranking some bosses in Pizza Tower soon, or perhaps try to 100% Hifi Rush

    I’ve been playing Lone Fungus from the recent metroidvania humble bundle, it’s alright? Takes a lot from other games, Hollow Knight in particular, and mostly doesn’t live up to its inspirations, but is still fun enough. Very easy to binge and it has a bunch of areas/bosses so it’s not really repetitive or slow at all. Like a 6/10 so far, but if you’ve played nearly everything in the genre like I have it’s fun enough

      Same here. I’ve been playing Horizon: Zero Dawn, which runs very well and is a really fun game.
