Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.
What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

Playing Cyberpunk and Ace Combat.
As a toddler+newborn dad I flat out need the option of playing on TV or in bed, and instantly flipping on or off.
I honestly never dreamed of something like this when I grew up gaming on Windows 95+. Can’t wait 'til I can game with my sons.
Not the same games but exact same vibe. Need to be able to turn it off literally minutes after I start. Can’t wait to game with the kids. I want them to be older already but also not yet.
Careful what you wish for. All my kids play is the Roblox SDK to design train games lol. Ok I guess we do rock the occasional Mario Cart 😁
Disco Elysium. Fantastic writing and pretty hilarious at times.
It’s also pretty good as a portable PC when traveling too, so that’s nice.
Steam Deck best tech purchase for me in a long time. Don’t judge me too much but I’ve been playing Disney Speedstorm between TotK sessions.
Yeah! It’s such a perfect device. So easy to stuff it in a backpack and just bring it out whenever. It’s honestly everything I’ve ever wanted the switch to be
Dave The Diver!
Last game I played on it, yesterday, was Just Cause 3. It’s… not great. The game just doesn’t run consistently enough and is too CPU heavy.
I recently played Red Dead Redemption 2 on it, that was great. Surprisingly so. I’m playing Skyrim now. I’ve had the game for years but never took the time to properly get into it. I beat the main quest and messed with mods back in the day but that’s it.
Now, I’m playing it vanilla and I want to just go deep into the game, completely ignoring the main quest, I don’t want to be the hero, if the universe needs saving, it can find someone else. Khajiit have caves to explore and stuff. Oh and the new Survival Mode is neat!
Horizon Zero Dawn. Had it on PS4 and didn’t get far. Having a Deck changes everything.
Is gyro aiming feasible on deck? I wanted to try out horizon but it’s clunky on a k+m and aiming on a controller is hard for me.
HZD is the only game I’ve played on deck so far where the gyro aiming works as joystick. I was completely blown away, I’ve never been able to use gyro as anything but as mouse before, and I’ve been doing gyro aiming on steam controller for years.
Usually Indies, a lot of slay the spire recently, but I’ve just started Street Fighter VI.
Tempted by System Shock next cos I never played the original.
SteamDeck is GREAT for light roguelikes. They are often designed with controller in mind and are light on the battery.
I’ve been playing
- Dead Cells
- Hades
- Slay the Spire
- Skul
- Undermine
- Vampire Survivors
All great on Deck
I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.
Vampire Survivors for a while. Lately I just finished up a run through of Pokemon Red and just got started on a run of Pokemon Silver.
Been mostly playing ToTK on switch like some here, though I think I’ll have to give a few more attempts at P ranking some bosses in Pizza Tower soon, or perhaps try to 100% Hifi Rush
Would you say Hifi rush is worth the price in amount of content terms? I’ve been switherong on it for a while.
Sorry for the late reply! It’s really a question of how you approach postgame content. It’s a fairly short “linear campaign” with hidden challenges for level replays. For me the story was fun and the mechanics engaging enough to enjoy beyond the short playtime.
I still enjoy turning it on to do a few fights and enjoy the rhythm mechanics, might do a new play through.
I’m using it almost exclusively during commuting between my hometown and my girlfriend’s current city (nearly 4h) for which the deck is an absolute godsent
Played through the Sherlock Holmes games and now am playing the Ace Attorney games (for which the Deck is probably a bit overpowered but so what).
Not a huge fan of fast-paced games on the deck since I have a pretty good PC at home with a 144hz 1440p monitor which I really miss with games like Else Ring or (especially) Rocket League
Mostly point and click adventures. Harvey’s New Eyes is my favorite among those I’ve finished for now
I’ve recently started working my way through the Telltale Games and Don’t Nod back catalogues. Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People is great fun, and Life Is Strange Before The Storm plays really well too. :)
Playing the game I’m developing
What kinda game is it?
Hey had some trouble replying, it is a space RPG
