Super Mario All Stars, just to spite Nintendo.
I’m replaying through the Metroid Prime Trilogy again, primehack is amazing.
I should pick that up again. I remember getting stuck somewhere in the first one.
i just added Luigi Mansion 2 HD and it work flawless with Yuzu
Dave the Diver!
Untitled Goose Game. Silly fun.
I tried Satisfactory, but the controls just aren’t (yet) made for a controller.
Dang. I wanted to try Satisfactory on it.
You could, but there’s no official control scheme. My experience wasn’t great, but maybe yours will be better. I just think that since there’s so many buttons (multiple toolbars, multiple menus and build modes, etc.), it’s hard to make it all work.
Maybe I’ll try my hand at a new control scheme, but it just seems built for a M+Kb. It plays well, though, so the limitation really is only the controls.
Thanks to the both of you. I’ll give it a shot.
There’s a profile I tried on my desktop during update 8 that wasn’t terrible on an xbox controller, it’s surprisingly playable imo, works well with action groups, probably be way nicer on the deck with something like rotary menus on the trackpads and using the back buttons for modifiers.
I’d give it a try anyhow, just probably going to need some fiddling to get where you want.
Ghost of Tsushima and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I finished the main story of both games yesterday but now I’ve got DLC to play.
Started playing Animal Well the other day. It’s quite good.
- Balatro
- Peglin
- Some pokemon rom hacks
- Dragon quest monsters
- Necesse
It’s been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It’s a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that’s implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.

That’s pretty high praise, I’ll check it out.
+1 shotgun king
Shotgun King is definitely a fun game. The worst part about it is how I’ve played enough to where I’m stuck on one of the higher difficulties and and bored of it.
I told my friend when I got my Deck I wouldn’t just use it as an emulation device…yeah I mostly use it for PCSX2
Been playing through Midnight Club 3 Remix the last week
Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Dirt 4.
Nostalgia stuff: Crash Bandicoot PS1, Worms World Party PS1, NFL Street PS2, MX Superfly PS2, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition PS2, probably some others
Sea of Stars went on sale and it’s fantastic.
ttyd switch, echoes of wisdom.
What emu are you using and how does it run ?
ryujinx literally minutes before it was shut down. on steam deck at least it seems impossible for the audio to stay in sync and occasionally you have to pause emulation and resume after the sound stops to bring it back in sync. Maybe a spot of lag or frame drop when some things happen for the first time, but mostly stable 30fps. I’ll probably switch to desktop once I have space to set it up if the audio desync doesn’t happen there.
Oh hey, I was having this issue. Changed the audio to OpenAL, restarted, and haven’t had any problems since. Might be worth a try if you haven’t already.
I still have an old yuzu installed but might gibe it a go with the latest firmware and see how ot goes. Unfortunately i didn’t snag ryujinx on deck but at least grabbed the source from mirrors after the fact.
Edit
With firmware 18.1.0 and matching keys it works on steamdeck, the yuzu used is out of date by a few but its close enough to the final ea version floating around. Sound is fine on the rift areas and only issue so far is sometimes the rift can look weird in the villages but its a minor cosmetic issue. Made it through the first rift with no issues and probably explored a large chunk of the map. Not seeing any slowdowns.
I think the flatpak is still up.
Fuck Nintendo.
Thanks got it today just in case. It doesn’t follow the emudeck setup if anyone else is wonderinf as they do some symlinking and maybe some preconfigued settings but they can be configured manually .
Nine Sols!
Who would’ve guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck’s speaker is just so satisfying.
Hell yeah. Been hanging out for getting this one.
RDR2, works so well on the Deck, kinda blows my mind.
Yep it really does
Thronebreaker, Hogwards Legacy. I also started Bayonetta and recently finished (and real enjoyed) Hotline Miami 1 and 2. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 as well but my fps skills on a controller are so bad that it’s just too stressful.
How is Hogwarts Legacy nowadays ? I’m thinking to pick it up in the future but want to make sure it plays ok on deck.
Game updates did break the startup process once before. That was fixed after one or two days. In game the graphics are set to the lower settings but I don’t mind. I only notice slow loading textures from time to time.
When it comes to the content: I think the world building and the castle are well done. Missions and dialogs are quite dull though, aimed more at children. Still fun to play from time to time.
Good to know thanks for the info 👍
Yeah, I did hacking + smart weapons for my CP2077 playthrough so that almost no aiming is required. I imagine melee builds play fine as well.
I know what you mean. I just started playing Borderlands and it’s so hard to do the shooting. I don’t know how people play these games on consoles.
Right now 9 sols
I have this wishlisted but Satisfactory and Space Marines are capitalizing my play time.
What are your impressions of 9 Sols? Metroidvanias are my favorite genre and this one is so beautifully drawn and animated.
