hello! I am getting my steam deck today in the mail (anxiously awaiting lol) and I was wondering if I could ask for game recommendations based on what I like.

My top two video games ever are Skyrim and Stardew Valley. I think both have a lot of replay value, so I'll definitely be playing both on my steam deck, but I'd love to branch out and play some new things too.

Previously Enjoyed Games:

  • Stardew Valley

  • Skyrim

  • a lot of the harvest moon games

  • last of us 1 and 2

  • red dead redemption 1 and 2

  • sun haven

Preferred Genres:

  • RPG

  • Open world

  • Fantasy or small town

Budget: I'm open, especially if a game is a good fit. Will probably hold out for sales in some cases

Other Notes:

  • immersion

  • customization

  • open world

Games I have on my wishlist already:

  • elden ring

  • baldur's gate 3

  • fields of mistria

any advice would be great, and thank you in advance!

I hear so many people use the touch pads to play so many games but honestly I haven't found a game I've felt I've needed to use the touchpads for, the sticks or screen work just fine!

Whenever I look at the discussion threads on this sub; the same group of 10 or 20 games is always mentioned, so feel free to drop some of your more niche favorites! Here are a few of mine :):

-Fantasy Maiden Wars

-Bayonetta

-Ace Attorney

-In Stars And Time

-OFF

-LISA

Today, I tested Forza, BF6 and Helldivers 2 using remote play instead of Moonlight, which is the only option that I considered flawless enough for multi hour long streaming. Massive improvement, to the point I stopped caring about tweaking settings on Moonlight for specific games, was 100% stable and the frame pacing was almost perfect. The only thing I'm yet not able to fix is forcing 10-bit or HDR (I'm not really sure how to deal with this part) which fixed some dark color banding visible in dark games, which is how I solved said issue in Moonlight. Otherwise, I'm totally impressed, it's stable enough for me not to care at all and I feel that it totally enabled using my Deck as a streaming client for the TV on my living room. Any change you've noticed on your end?

Hey folks,

I’m really craving a new turn-based tactics style game like XCOM that runs well on the Deck.

I’ve already played Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters which is great but I’m not a big Warhammer guy and… I used to work for the company that made that game and it gives me bad flashbacks lmao.

I’ve seen loads of people recommend Midnight Suns and I’ve tried 3-4 times to get past the first few hours now but I just don’t vibe with it.

I travel a lot so ideally it needs to be playable offline, which I understand rules out Gears Tactics?

I appreciate it’s a much-loved but not super well-supported genre these days so I’d love to hear some games that aren’t the ones mentioned above!

Happy to hear about indie projects, not bothered about cost but I won’t play anything in “Early Access”, thanks!
