Hi all, with the Steam sale on I'm looking for new things to play on the deck.

I can kick it off with a few recommendations of my own that I've been playing, even if they aren't new games:

Outer Wilds - Amazing exploration game that is best played without looking at any guides etc. I use the 40hz option to play and it runs great, not dropping below 40fps.

Hades - You've probably heard of this one! Runs perfectly on the deck, easy to just pick up and attempt a run.

TUNIC - A charming RPG in the vein of the old Zelda games, this one is unique in that you find pages of the 'Instruction Manual', which you'll need to read to help you figure out puzzles within the game. It's awesome, would highly recommend on the deck!

Let me know what you're all playing so I can grab some bargains!

The Souls trilogy is on sale (first time in two years) and all three work great on Deck.

One thing I would caution with them is that Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin (and I believe 1 remastered) don't have cloud save syncing. If you like playing on your main desktop and your steam deck, you have to manually move the saves over. Looking at the store page, it looks like 3 has the same issue.

Funnily enough, the original DS1 Prepare to Die edition and Dark Souls 2 both have cloud saves

DS1 remastered has cloud saving now. It definitely wasn't a thing at launch, but I've been playing it on my steam deck over the past few days and my saves synced just fine. I think it might've been added after they brought back the online servers. I haven't gotten around to replaying 2/3 since the return of online, but they might have cloud saves too.
