Sorry this post is a week late, been busy with real life stuff.
Cat quest 2 - Carrion - Hades
Stardew Valley — for the thousandth time (new patches = new farm)
Hopefully one day we can get the they/them options.
Would be nice, but the amount of dialogue updates would be daunting for a one person operation.
Currently playing Mindustry, a factory management tower defense game. Very addicting. It’s free on flathub
+1, would recommend for fans of Factorio or shapez
Are you playing it with the onboard controls? Do you have any recommendations for making it feel better?
I want to get into Mindustry but the basic movement controls of the ship just don’t feel inspired to me in the base game at least with the starting ship. I mean it makes sense, the focus is more on tower defense and automation, but is there a modpack or something that focuses the gameplay a bit more on the ship movement and combat?
Do you have any other advice for playing Mindustry on the Steam Deck? Which kinds of levels are best to start with and what kind of control scheme do you like?
I play with the built in controls, I use a slightly modified version of the mouse profile. I constantly switch between touch screen and trackpad control and I personally don’t have a problem with it.
I don’t think there are any mods that revamp the ship. The ship isn’t really that important for the game. In the mobile version the ship just flies on its own
I personally would start with planet erekir, it focuses less on defense and more on producing and commanding troops. Also I really recommend pvp.
Currently started playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. Still trying out some graphics settings, but so far a good experience.
How does it play on the steam deck? Played it on PC and loved it but never completed the story. With 2 announced I’d love to jump back in
Loved it! I’ll have to play it again since I bought all the dlcs. I think they recently announced kingdom come 2 so I’m pretty hyped
I want to play the Dead Space remake, but its like I’m watching a flipbook that doesn’t move nearly fast enough :(
Slay the spire and Portal 2 are my current time sinks tho
I’m just getting to the end of the Dragonborn DLC before returning to continue my first run through Skyrim.
Nice - are you playing with Mods?
I didn’t know you could use mods on the steam deck. Are there any that make sorting through your inventory easier?
After beating Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, I decided to revisit the previous game, Yakuza: Like A Dragon. I first tried playing YLAD a few years ago on my gaming PC, but the incredibly long, unskippable cut scenes were super frustrating. Infinite Wealth had some of that same problem, but the story clicked with me a bit more and I’ve fallen in love with the mix of heartfelt quirky gameplay.
Plus, the Steam Deck makes the long cut scenes way easier to deal with when you can just pause and sleep your console if you need a break.
Yeah, I know YLAD has a stretch of fights/boss fight/cutscenes that took nearly 2 hours without being able to save. The deck being able to sleep mid gameplay is the only reason I was able to make it through. YLAD cutscenes are also super sensitive to instability from undervolting, I kept having cutscenes freeze for me but it turns out that I needed to reduce my undervolting setting a little.
Great games though, I recommend them both.
Mr Sun’s Hatbox (maybe my GotY?)
Dragons Dogma 1
I’m really interested in Mr Sun’s Hatbox actually, I’ve played some of his previous games and they were really good. I take it you recommend it?
Definitely! The gameplay loop of action <-> base management is super cool. You end up feeling attached to the characters you’ve leveled high, so the missions feel high stakes even though losing characters isn’t really that punishing in actuality.
I thought the game looked too chaotic in the trailers, but it allows you to play methodically if you want to.
Heard mixed things about Fallout 4 new update for the deck. I decided to try it out with the default settings. Happy to report that it works great, I’m getting stable 60 (at least up to Concord) and it looks nice.
I learned this week-end that Vita3k runs great on the Deck and that game compatibility has tremendously advanced, so I’m doing WipEout 2048 right now :D
Everyone always says balatro and i finally got it on sale and now i can’t stop
I kept reading people say this, and then I ended up buying brotato, I don’t know if it was a mistake or not
Did it have a good sale? I’ve been waiting for a sale (or the mobile version) myself.
Oh, its only 10% off right now
Tbh i didn’t even look how high the discount was, i knew i wanted the game and it was 13$ so i just went for it lol
Hades 2
Ur-Quan Masters Mega Mod, Talos Principle 2, and Pictopix.
Recently got into Hexologic and Harmony’s Odyssey.
I recently have been trying to play through all of the final fantasy games in chronological order. (Mainline games). Playing the gba dawn of souls currently. Playing through ff1
