I bought The Falconeer yesterday, haven’t played it yet, I’m looking at my wishlist and considering more options
Consider refunding and grabbing it for free from epic in a few days? Granted that would require you to tinker with the deck a bit to install from the other stores besides steam, if you’re up for it
Oh that’s a good tip, thanks!
I bought Tunic and Crosscode.
I jumped straight into Tunic, and am having a great time. I recently finished Outer Wilds and was wanting another knowledge based progression game.
Did you also get recommended the “Metroid Brainia” video on YouTube a few days ago? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JA3UAYgd5Nw
I also just bought Tunic and Outer Wilds! Tunic is great so far
I did, but I haven’t actually watched it yet. I’ve been wanting to buy tunic/ow for years now.
Enjoy, both OW and Tunic are up there in my favourite games. Return of the Obra Dinn is another good one, if you didn’t play it already.
Chasing after that same high, I bought the newest versions of Myst and Riven, never played the originals. Quite stumped in the first level of Myst. I feel like I may enjoy Riven more, but gonna try and stick with Myst first.
Return of the Obra Dinn is on my list, but I haven’t played it yet. I did play through Forgotten City earlier this year, and it was really good.
Crosscode is absolutely amazing and is one of my favorite games ever.
That’s what people keep telling me. It’s been $6 on GoG for months now, but I really wanted it in steam instead. And thankfully, it finally went on sale for $6 on Steam as well.
I picked up quite a few games - Deathsmiles, DoDonPachi Resurrection, Mega Man X Legacy Collection, Mushihimesama, ProtoCorgi, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge and Ultrakill.
I’ve only played ProtoCorgi so far and I kinda love it - I mean, you’re a corgi, barking or shooting lasers at various enemies in space, what’s not to love?
I’ve already played most of the other games before and wanted to own them on Steam, except for Ultrakill (and I’m really looking forward to that one).I bought Balatro, Neon White, GRIS, Rollerdrome, and Pentiment. They’re all under $15 CAD and I’ve sunk a few hours into Balatro already
I bought Baldur’s Gate 3, Deep Rock Galactic and Undertale.
Right now, I am trying to get into Mass Effect 3, but I think I need a little break from it after completing ME2.
The new season of DRG has suckered me back in, and some more of my friends just bought it as well. I hope you have a good time with it, it’s possibly my favorite game of all time.
In my opinion Deep Rock Galactic is easily the best co-op shooter of all time, hands down.
Yes LFD 2 and Helldivers 2 are great, and if your preference is for those games or warhammer Vermintide or whatever, fair enough, but I think from a game mechanics standpoint Deep Rock Galactic is a nearly flawless game. The guns all feel chunky and great, the verticality is SUPERB, the movement mechanics for the scout class have a ridiculously high skill ceiling, the tunneling mechanics are mindblowing just by themselves in the way they deepend combat and tactics, the ambiance is KILLER especially given the relatively simple but still attractive graphics, the Devs are super chill and release cosmetic DLCs so everyone can get new content… the list just goes on and on
I don’t think people are ever going to get sick of it, I am confident you are always going to be able to find co-op lobbies to hop onto far into the future.
I agree. I think the way that different terrain changes combat is key, and when combined with the players ability to shape terrain (especially with the driller or engi) has created a system that can constantly feel fresh for combat.
I’ve put a lot of hours into different coop shooters, but DRG is my most played steam game (675 hours) and still feels fresh.
I picked this up last month, and it’s a blast.
So far just Juno: New Origins
I’ve been mostly playing:
- Noita
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Oxygen Not Included
Will pick up Juno when I get a chance to play when I’m not dead tired.
Deep Rock Galactic
Since a few people already mentioned it in this thread, are you playing it on Deck? It’s one of the main games I play with a few buddies regularly but I always found it to be a bit cumbersome on a handheld but maybe that’s because I generally dislike fps with a controller (even if using gyro).
Agreed. I experimented heavily with different control options and had special configs for all classes and even for some weapon sets. Some things were really good, others remained combersome. Also used the steam controller.
In toughest lvl 5 moments, no tweaking was enough. It was “OK” if you were on the road and with shitload of practice it might have been great.
In the end, I’ve done most of my playing with Dock + keyb + trackball + external display.
I can’t be the only one who bought Animal Well
I bought it when it released and loved it, very cleverly designed and works perfectly on Steam Deck. Also just for fun, try swiping across the touchscreen…
I’m finally playing Elex on my steam deck (started like three times on my stationary PC, but never came close to finish). So I bought Elex 2.
I bought Hyperspace Outlaw. My spouse already played it but it is so big that I want to see the stuff he didn’t find. I also fucking love Zane’s page music.
Seepage is one of those bands that just sticks in your brain. If you like the tongue-in-cheek of Zane’s angsty edgelord teen vibes, the developers also made a doomlike in the same universe, developed by and starting that character.
After letting them pass many times (well, one of them, the other’s more recent), this time i said “Meh, let’s do it this time” and got Untitled Goose Game and Little Kitty, Big City. Both got me hooked immediately, did all the achievements for the kitty and nearly all for the goose (there’s some for speedrunning, and I’m not really into doing that, so likely those achievements are gonna stay undone forever). Both were fun and would recommend them.
I bought Reus 2 at launch last month - game changer!
Finally a game that I enjoy playing on the deck and actually want to play after work on my commute etc. highly recommend it.
I bought FH4 since they announced it’ll be delisted by the end of the year. I’ve previously played it a lot via gamepass, but despite the fact that it doesn’t have Cross-Progression with the Steam version I still bought it on Steam so I could play it on Steam deck. Medium settings run at 60fps!
Other than that my backlog is big enough that I will abstain from the sale. Recently finished The Werecleaner (short and funny free game) and Black Mesa. Now playing CrossCode, FEZ and Nightmare Kart.
FH4?
Forza Horizon 4 - I had to search to the acronym
Ah, thanks
Playing FH4 too, trying to get all the playlist related achievements before it’s too late 😋
One thing I’ve noticed is that you can’t be signed in from two places, so if you decide to play on desktop after playing on the deck, you need to sign in again…
Bought Dicey Dungeons as a good one to play on Deck. I can run it with the TDP on the GPU set to 3w, which increases the battery lifespan impressively, while still running great! Plus the game itself lends itself well to the deck I’d say.
Great game, I’ve now bought it on 3 different platforms which is rare for me.
King Hearts Final Mix (the entire collection)
It Takes Two
V RisingI had some friends who were huge into Kingdom Hearts growing up, so I’m kinda curious about playing it now that it’s on Steam. However the numbering of the series makes it really unclear what games I need to play to experience the core story.

The release order does the best job of revealing information in an entertaining way. You can safely just watch cut scenes for the non numbers games (1.5, 2.5 and 3 are mainline most important)
For me playing through is a big nostalgia trip. The writing isn’t great and the gameplay in Chain of Memories is extremely annoying for the first few hours but I am happy to be able to go hang with all of the Disney characters I did when I was a kid and I finally get to play KH3!!!
