Some friends recommended this over and over for the longest time. I was never really interested, as it didn't seem like the kinda game I'd be into (2D, platformer, "metroidvania"? - wtf is that?).
I finally caved in and gave it a shot. I was super frustrated at first. I was just really bad at it. Fast forward a few months and I've played it through at least a few times. Last playthrough got me the "Speed Completion", "Steel Soul", and "Steel Heart" achievements.
Easily one of my favorite games of all time. Super excited for Silksong.
Cloudpunk has been fun to play in bed. Also Dorf Romantik. And... ah, The Ascent also runs quite nicely on the Deck, if you can get over the text size.
I mostly emulate on mine, I just finished the darkness on ps3 and kingdom hearts on ps2. For PC I'm playing the resident evil 2 remake. The steam deck got me back into gaming. I've played more games in the year+ I've owned it than I did in the last decade.
Wdym?
check out this:
TOTK Mod colection
Read everything and also check out their recomended settings here
I use the lazy mods (30fps 720p Ui compatiple) + Steamdeck Ui + Aspect Ratio (16:10) and the latest TOTK update
And in the yuzu config use x1 not x2 for the resolution
And in aspect ratio stretch to window
Remember that the steamdeck screen is just 720p with a 16:10 Aspect ratio (i know it is not but it works)
It runs at stable 30fps (Sometimes lower but never something awfull)
Picking up games I am currently playing on my gaming PC like the RE-engine Resident Evils and remakes or Jedi and Hogwarts have been my best experiences so far. Yes, graphical fidelity isn’t as good, but the general seamlessness gives serious Switch vibes, but for modern games instead of the more „mobile“ feeling of the average Switch game.
I really like that you can throw like any USB/Bluetooth/Dongle controllers lying around at it to play some nice couch coop/multiplayer games when friends are around (in docked mode on a big screen oc). Stick Fight The Game with up to 4 players, Gang Beasts with up to 8, Nidhogg I and II for a tournament.
Shadows of Doubt is a really cool procedurally generated detective game, the performance is definitely a little iffy, but it’s still playable and very fun
I really enjoy Snowrunner as a single player game on the deck. Truck hauling game but I’m pretty open world sceneries, it gets challenging very quickly (Dark souls but with diesel fuel).
The deck runs the game fantastically so it’s a great casual game to just drop in and drop out whenever.
For multiplayer, I like the Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga and It Takes Two (story was fucked and definitely someone’s childhood trauma story but the gameplay is well executed and fun).
CS:Go for multiplayer :) It took me a while to build a very accurate control scheme using the touchpads, gyro and back buttons; everything had to be tuned multiple times. But once I was done, I stopped playing CS:Go on my PC. It may sound unbelievable to the uninitiated but you can get the same level of performance on the Deck in a competitive FPS (my rankings and #headshots hasn't taken a hit). The point is, don't sleep on the touchpads and gyro!
I tried this with fallout new Vegas but can't get comfortable with on it. Any advise would be appreciated. Using wasteland mod so combat is better, but controls suck to me. I also tried flick stick.
I'll throw in Hollow Knight as a recommendation
The ori games are great on deck too.

Ah yes silksong the game that still hasn't had a solid release date yet 🥲
Hollow Knight is a must play. Also super excited for Crowsworn and of course Silksong.
Did you know you can edit titles on lemmy? You could fix your typo. stram -> steam
And also the other 14 typos in the title
Haha i did not, im on mobile, may edit it later
Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium and Elden Ring for me! I had not had the Steam Deck for that long though.
Can I participate even if I don't have a Steam Deck? 🥺
well, according to the title we are looking for stram deck games, so you prolly good to participate
Diablo IV runs really well on the Steam Deck.
Death Stranding. Keep on keeping on!
Oh gotta try that on the deck!
Prey was awesome and ran great! I had a great time with Surviving Mars. Just "finished" Necesse in it's current EA form.
Did you play the DLC for Prey already? Mooncrash is really entertaining.
I haven't tried it yet! As fun as Prey was, it was also scary and stressful lol. I needed a break from the genre :)
Fair enough. They play pretty differently, with Mooncrash being even more stressful due to the time limit. :D
I hate when the steam deck fans are loud so I like playing 2D games like Vampire Survivors on it.
Great game, they adapted it to mobile, arguably best place to play it now
Cloudpunk has been fun to play in bed. Also Dorf Romantik. And... ah, The Ascent also runs quite nicely on the Deck, if you can get over the text size.
I go regularly also to retro games in EmuDeck.
Hades

TLOZ: Breath Of The Wild, Tears of the Kingdom & Hollow Knight but what i like the most is Gnome Tetravex, no kidding
How do you deal with TOTK running at 20fps?

Grand Theft Auto 4 is awesome to play on the go(though it does eat battery life)
Pizza Tower

Most recently, American Truck Simulator! But a game of Human Fall Flat whenever a new map comes out never goes amiss!
Brotato, even more now since 1.0 haha. Lots of old GBA games via RetroArch. Battle for Wesnoth is great on there too. A bunch honestly.

Wall World How to survive
Both great to play on the deck.
I've been having a blast with Hard space: Ship breaker, it plays great but it can eat the battery a bit
Have you played with kb+m before? I tried to play on the Deck but couldn't get used to the controller
Shadows of Doubt is a really cool procedurally generated detective game, the performance is definitely a little iffy, but it’s still playable and very fun
Multiplayer, the Steam Deck is great for couch co-op like PlateUp! I carry a usb-c dock with hdmi out so I can put it on a friend's TV.
I've been playing Nova Island lately and it's been great on Steam Deck!
Outlanders and octopath traveler. They're my travel games when I'm in a car or plane for a few hours. I can get sucked into both for a while.
Keep talking and nobody explodes is fun multiplayer with the right group. The deck is nice cuz you can pass it around.
Binding of Isaac Repentance is great! I've dumped so many hours into it.
Yakuza - any of them honestly. They run so well on the SD it’s incredible.
Dredge was really fun and perfect for either playing on the deck, or (as I did it) docked to a TV while my wife watched.
I really enjoy Snowrunner as a single player game on the deck. Truck hauling game but I’m pretty open world sceneries, it gets challenging very quickly (Dark souls but with diesel fuel). The deck runs the game fantastically so it’s a great casual game to just drop in and drop out whenever.

Persona 5 Royal is perfect on the Deck! Been playing that before bed lately.
Kingdom two crowns, I've owned the game for a while but only really got into it with my Deck.
Single player: Hades
Multiplayer: Deep Rock Galactic, Euro Truck Simulator 2
Persona 5 Royal on go :)
Fallout New Vegas and Battle Brothers has been my go-tos!
CS:Go for multiplayer :) It took me a while to build a very accurate control scheme using the touchpads, gyro and back buttons; everything had to be tuned multiple times.
