Can't stop playing Risk Of rain returns

SSX Tricky through Xemu

Fallout new Vegas , I'm doing a new run after so many years Feels good

Been playing Dave the Diver. Pretty chill. Great game to play after a stressful day at work haha

Invincible, Death Stranding, Gunner Heat PC, Deep Rock Galactic, Trepang^2^.

Starting to approach my limit on FPS games. Maybe transition a bit back on 4X games or base builders.

Whatever else I play, I always come back to Stardew Valley. There's always something you can do there, and there's always something you can find. It just never gets me bored.

The entire Halo series.

I never owned an Xbox growing up when the games were originally releasing. I recently got a Steam Deck and bought the Master Chief Collection on sale last week. I’ve been having an absolute blast working my way through the campaign (still early in the first game!), and I’m just kicking myself now that I never got into this earlier when the multiplayer was more populated. This shit is such my jam.

I've been playing Murder by Numbers. I actually like it more on my deck than on my PC, as I like the controller interface better than with a mouse.

I am playing Coremon :)

I've been playing Planet of Lana. It's a puzzle platformer, very similar to Limbo or Inside. But there are some different mechanics that involve a companion animal that follows you around.

I’m deep down in the Snow Runner-trench. It’s like Euro Truck Simulator, but mud and snow and in a week I’ve already spent like 14 hours or so. It take sooo much time to get things done though.

I bought so many games. Sales are going insane right now. I’m playing Tetris Effect (but there’re issues with TV output currently) and Horizon Zero Dawn. I’ll hop on Monster Hunter World every now and then too.

I'll be playing through Risk of Rain Returns, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and my backlog of visual novels. The deck has become my main gaming machine now.

Station 2 Station. I dont think its Deck Verified yet, but it runs great. Its so easy to turn off brain, chill to the music, and lay down some train tracks and bridges while the time just disappears. If you want, you can tryhard it, which is also fun, depending on the mood.

Oh also, randomly, Warframe is my most played game on my Deck! I got the Steam Deck for the first time a couple weeks ago and then went and bought a bunch of new games with the recent sale…but a free MMO shooter is what has kept me hooked the most lately.

Been playing RDR Online with a friend, but had to make a new account because the email to my 10 year old account tied to my PlayStation is old and deleted, and rockstar support seems to be breaking the record for hottest garbage I’ve encountered so far.

Just finished high on life and started breathedge.

Chilling with Teardown and a bit of Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game on the weekends. Exam week is nigh, so I won't have much free time, but I really really want to grab Class of 09 on the Winter sale. It's full of SOVL.

RDR2 when I want to get immersed.

Shovel Knight when I want something lighter.

Final Profit. Talos Principle 2, and now I get enough of the mechanics to go back and do a lot of Talos Principle 1.

Binding of isaac rebirth. Fun Lil game. I got gnawed leaf and midas touch on one go. Easiest thing ever. Just stand there, max out coins, and everything that touches me dies. Funny as shit.

I'm playing through Persona 5, but I've also gotten on a pinball kick lately. Picked up Demon's Tilt and Xenotilt during the steam sale, and have also been emulating Metroid Prime Pinball which is the game that first got me into pinball.

I'm interested in any other pinball recommendations if anyone has some.

Just got back into plateup today after a long hiatus. It's great alone or with friends, and always seems to be on sale.

Time Wasters

I've just discovered Brotato. I'm obsessed.

Still finishing Control, as well as Kaiju Wars, which has helped scratch that Advance Wars itch while also being new

I was in the mood for some twin stick shooters. I found Revita and ScourgeBringer, and have been playing some Ubermosh. Revita is really fun, it says unsupported but the game works fine on Deck (no 12800x800 though). The standard game has a pretty good community template, but the beta version of the game seems to be the "definitive update" which didn't have as strong a template so I added and uploaded one.

I keep coming back to MH Rise with my friend though, playing it docked on the TV :)

Sea of Stars

Hades.

Having just finished Hollow Knight (in fact, I mentioned starting it in one of the previous discussion threads ), I find Hades to be a bit too repetitive. But I don’t want to make the same mistakes I did with Hollow Knight and give up early.

I will give this game a few more days before forming a conclusive opinion.

Speaking of Hollow Knight, I am glad I didn’t give up yet again. The game really opens up after the first few boss fights, and it was really fun exploring the lore, levelling up, and going through some of the bosses.

Farm Together - been playing with my gf split screen co-op on tv. The game is exactly what it says on the tin and it is awesome.

Modded Dayz (using DZGUI as mod manager) - I have been working on a steamdeck joystick+gyro control scheme and playing a bunch of V++ deathmatch and other deathmatch servers. Dayz runs almost comically well on the steamdeck I really don’t get it. The gunplay is unbelievably chunky and intense especially on servers with carefully curated gun mods. I love it.

Halo Infinite - finally not hardcrashing on me all the time on the steamdeck, I love the original three halos and despite what old halo fans half paying attention will tell you, halo infinite’s multiplayer is superb. It doesn’t hurt that it is free.

Deep Rock Galactic - Is there anything to even say about this gem?

Battlebit - I am having fun, I love having battlefield without EA but the problem is like a lot of battlefields the gun balance is totallllyyyyyyyyy skewed in favor of smg players who blindly rush so I am just not playing it as much right now. I can hold my ground and fight mid range more effectively in halo infinite without being call of duty smg spam which kind of breaks my brain (the guns I am using to do so half the time don’t even have iron sights lol?). I hope they fix this game.

(I play all of these with joysticks + gyro, no mouse and keyboard)

Just finished Dragons Dogma for the 26th time and still had a craving for open world RPG so bought Dragon Age Inquisition as the GOTY is 80% off.

It was supposed to be"unsupported" but it was an easy fix to make it work and it runs absolutely amazing.
