I have most hours on Deep Rock Galactic, but it's no longer what I'd call a favorite. I'm getting a bit bored. It runs perfectly and I have clocked 2000 hour on it, so it remains something I can just play through instinct and relax.
My favorite surprise was that developers finally fixed Gunner, HEAT, PC, so it doesn't freeze the steam deck on almost every run. It now works great on Steam Deck with med GFX settings. Although making a good controller setting is a pain and you need virtual menus. Didn't find good ones ready.
Disappointment was Starbourne 2. Keeps freezing the steam deck within 30min, although it had gold level status in protondb. Hard reset is the only way to recover. Dock + keyb + mouse is a must.
The Starbourne issue sounds like a memory leak, I had the same issue with God of War. It would probably be fixed or mitigated by increasing your swap size (can do it manually or use Cryoutilities) or possibly by lowering the texture quality or other vram using settings.
Also that's some seriously respectable DRG hours, I only have about 600. As much as I love the game, I don't like to play it on Deck, feel too hampered by the lack of a mouse.
