As a father Steam deck saved gaming for me, I can't even sit at my PC anymore, I can whip this out turn it on and unpause whatever I was playing and sneak in a quick 30 min here an hour there so easily. My wife cooking? I help her a bit and hop on the steam deck in the kitchen when I become useless and I'm still with her. Baby taking a quick nap and I have nothing to do? Boom steam deck. Taking a dump? Boom steam deck. As far as frames it can run most games but I just capped every game to 40 to 45 in case I run into the occasional game it struggles with and it won't bother me. Honestly though low to medium graphics looks perfectly fine on the little screen if you wanna squeeze frames and try to be at 60. I absolutely love it, wish I had the OLED though

I switched from ASUS ROG Ally to Steam Deck 6 months ago, and I’ve been craving a proper website for game ratings on Steam Deck, similar to rogallylife for ROG Ally. Unfortunately, I could never find one.

ProtonDB only shows Linux compatibility, and “Verified” on Steam means almost nothing in real-world performance. So instead of doing hours of research before buying every game, I felt a simple review site with scores and notes was needed for Steam Deck.

And… welcome to the first early beta of my future project.

I own over 1500 games on Steam and I try to play every popular and fresh release. I don’t finish them all, but I play enough to justify a fair performance rating on Steam Deck.

If you like this format, I plan to create a Google Sheets database with frequent updates and important notes.

Test conditions:

All games are tested on a 1TB Steam Deck OLED model,

• No Proton/Experimental changes

• No frame generation (built-in or Lossless Scaling)

• Mostly default or low settings

• Sometimes I tweak FSR / XeSS / TSR quality

(If your experience doesn’t match mine, feel free to ask for my exact settings in the comments.)

Here is my rating system:

I rate games on Steam Deck based on real gameplay experience, not benchmarks.

My stars reflect a combination of visual quality + FPS stability.

★★★★★ = Looks good and runs smooth at stable 30/45 FPS

★★★★☆ = Acceptable visuals with stable performance

★★★☆☆ = Playable but requires heavy visual compromises

★★☆☆☆ = Almost playable, frequent drops or very blurry image

★☆☆☆☆ = Unplayable, unstable, stuttery, or visually broken experience

(60✓) means the game looks good and runs at a stable 60 FPS.

These ratings are based on long play sessions, not short tests.

The goal is simple: Is this game actually enjoyable (performance wise)on Steam deck ?

Here are my tested games. I tested almost all of them since last 2 months. Maybe some updates made them better, feel free to tell me in the comments.

If you are curious about a game which is not present here, if i own it, i can install and do a quick session and rate it myself, also if you are curious about a detailed review on a specific game here, (not gameplay wise/performance & visual aspect wise) i can help you with that.

I'm open to any suggestions, please have a wonderful day . :)

The game just stopped working on my Steam Deck all of a sudden. I suspect it has to do with that crappy EA launcher. Now the game won't boot, it just takes me back on the home screen. No error at all.

I have tried every possible solution I've found online and nothing really worked

  1. Deleted Proton files
  2. Switched to a different Proton compatibility or w/e it's called
  3. Uninstalled/reinstalled the game TWICE (thank god my internet is fast)
  4. Launched the game on Desktop mode after fresh install
  5. Verified game files

It sucks because I have been enjoying the game since it's my first playthrough. It was working flawlessly up until now. The only thing left is to completely factory reset the Steam Deck, but I am still hoping for a solution to avoid that since that will take a lot of effort and set up again.

Any ideas?
