Another bonus: Many very good open source games can be added to SteamDeck by:
Some suggestions: Luanti, Empty Epsilon, UnCiv, Tux Racer, most retro emulators.
I might be slightly biased, but I can also recommend OpenMW for Deck.
Are you using the controller to play it, or a mouse and keyboard?
Done both, but I've found I rather enjoy the mix of stick and trackpad, emulated as KB+M
Thanks! Really jonesing for some Morrowind or obkivion but my deck lives in a dock next to my TV so I’m not sure how comfortable either game will be with a wireless controller versus holding the deck.
Oblivion was released on consoles and had great controller layouts. I played it for years on PS3. Not sure if Morrowind has a similar experience.
Yea for the original Xbox, however neither PC version has those supports built in. And the mods seem to be a mediocre experience in comparison, I may just buy the Xbox/360 versions of Morrowind and Oblivion to play comfortably.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
Hotkey the apocalypse game would be interesting on a steam deck. I wonder if anyone has attempted to map keys to the steam deck.
Heh. CDDA is pretty intense, but I'm a huge fan of how it handles inventory.
The inventory system is great, I tend to find myself going too deep into organizing my stuff, it's an enjoyable system.
Yeah... There are a lot of things I really like about the game, but every time I've tried playing, I get outside the initial starting point (after filling my pockets with frozen meat and shit lol), it gets kind of meh imo... I do like how you can use a smart phone (or flip phone) and it can even act as a flashlight
I have heard good things about some of the mods/variations
You must not have traveled far, the game has some wild locations, military locations and labs are where you can have a lot of fun or die trying.
I didn't get far, no. Every 3 feet, you see something move out on the corner of your eye and it completely stops everything. Over and over.
I know you can turn that off, but then I just end up dying lol
I was hugely impressed by how well Caves of Qud handles controller support. Definitely worth a look if you're interested in how these types of games can maintain access to so many different functions.
I haven't quite found a let's play of Caves of Qud that sold me on that game. But definitely might check it out again if it works well on the steam deck.
Add anything with sonic in the name. Like SRB2:Persona.
