For it it has been Hollow Knight, Left 4 Dead 2, and Transport Fever 2.

    I really enjoyed Dredge, Dave the diver runs also great on the Deck, but personally Dredge is more beautiful and controls are feeling more intuitive.

    I also enjoyed The Forgotten City, the Long Dark, and The Outer Wilds.

    Heck even God of war runs surprisingly well on the Deck.

    The only problem I have is with shooters, because of the finicky aiming mechanism, even with the trackpad.

    Brotato as a mindless standby.

    Hogwarts Legacy is running pretty damn well, as did Cyberpunk 2077.

    Baldur’s gate 3

    On a side note, I’ve been playing Dirt Rally 2.0 which is listed as straight up not supported, but it’s been going great for me!

      Baldur’s Gate 3 is addicting. I think I am getting near the end of the main story, but I am not 100% sure. Pausing the game on the SteamDeck is the only reason I am able to sink so many hours into this game.

      I’ll say it again, SteamDeck is the only platform that I will game on from here on out. It is exactly what I have always wanted. A PC that acts like a console. I love the handheld aspect as I can be on the sofa or in bed with my wife while gaming.

        I’m in the same boat as you are. I have moved all my gaming and emulation fully to the steam deck. It’s just too damn easy to just pick it up whenever.

        and yeah BG3 I have to put on hold every now and then cause it just will rip time away so fast. I just get lost in it.

    These are pretty much always installed on my Deck:

    Dead Cells

    Dragons Dogma

    Binding of Isaac

    Children of Morta

    These I finished recently on SD in one form or other:

    Dishonored

    The Stick of truth

    …but there are plenty

      How well does Dishonored run the Steam Deck? I have been thinking of getting one and Dishonored is one of the games I want to play on it.

        Awesome. Smooth 60 fps on mid-high settings and battery life was around 3 hours.

        Also loading times were like 2-3 sec so it’s one of the best titles for the Deck I experienced so far.

        I played D2 on the deck and it worked fine after tuning the graphics settings. Though I fully admit when things got tricky I docked and used kb&m.

    bloodstained, P5R, halls of torment, yakuza 3, risk of rain returns, project zomboid, and streets of rogue.

    I highly recommend pony island, the longing, and yuppie psycho as well.

      I discovered this game like two years ago and it got me super addicted. I can’t believe how sucked in I got. I’ve had trouble getting into a second play through, I am not sure why. Maybe it is because the mystery is gone.

    been hitting Dragon Age Inquisition hard since the controller fix proton-ge workaround got released.

    it looks beautiful in handheld and when I play in docked I’m noticing that textures look nicer than they did on my Xbox.

    such a fun game. 🤘

    *happy little edit to link the file here. thank you cammoore1 for the workaround!

      This is what I needed to hear. I have a save from 2016 that I’ve been wanting to finish, but bounced off of it on deck because I had to map all KB+M controls to make it happen.

      After I finish The Witcher 3 (which has an amazing experience in the deck), this is where I’m headed.

        I’m with you. I couldn’t get the keyboard and mouse rebind to feel anywhere close to comfortable.

        I have only ever played DAI with a controller. So I was very happy that I found the proton-ge version.

      You know of any way to get dragon age origins or dragon age 2 to work on steam deck with a controller? Everything I tried felt clunky and weird

    Portal reloaded and portal revolution are pretty great on deck.

    Rocket League, which before I had my Deck I didn’t even really get into all that much so it kinda took me by surprise. Seems to even have no problem playing at the high quality graphics levels at a steady 90 FPS too.

    Additionally, since EA is having a massive sale right now I picked up Burnout Paradise and the mass effect legendary edition, along with all of the NFS games.

        I don’t, just didn’t know how it is spelled and thought they did it this way. I pronounce it in one word “factorio”. I think the small “i” in their logo confused me 😅
