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?
Usually Indies, a lot of slay the spire recently, but I’ve just started Street Fighter VI.
Tempted by System Shock next cos I never played the original.

An absolute masterpiece that runs perfectly on the Deck
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!
I think the word you are looking for in “community”.

Steam Deck best tech purchase for me in a long time. Don’t judge me too much but I’ve been playing Disney Speedstorm between TotK sessions.
Recently: Skyrim yet again, Portal 2
Currently: Horizon Zero Dawn, Wreckfest, Emulators
Next: Probably Cyberpunk. I started it a few months ago, but have been playing Horizon instead.
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
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!
Diablo 4, runs pretty decent.
How did you get it to work on the SD? The controller support for Diablo is amazing, I’m sure I’d have an amazing time on the steam deck for it.
I first downloaded and played it on my main rig(also linux). I used the lutris community script to install battle.net and then just installed the game through the launcher as you normally would. Then I simply copied the prefix to my SD, that way I didn’t have to redownload it again, added it to lutris on my SD, linked it to steam, and voila. I’m using Proton-GE 8.4 and have had no issues so far.
currently we <3 katamari reroll which is such a perfect fit on the platform it almost hurts
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.
It’s mostly all ToTK, all the time here, but on the Deck, it’s the System Shock remake. Runs very nicely, but the controller support is so so & I haven’t spent the time setting up a config map yet.
Been playing BOTW but also XCOM 2 and the roguelike deckbuilders bundle from Humble Bundle recently. Loving the steamdeck so much.
Yes, I am playing Dredge right now. I am also playing papers please, which is obviously easier with mouse but it works good enough. I am also playing the first Ori game and Tetris sometimes. I played tails of iron too which is great fun.
