Nova Drift, and then some more Nova Drift. Followed by a long session of Nova Drift. I think I need help.
not a deck, but a legion go and I am enjoying satisfactory a ton.
My big two games recently have been Blue Prince (which I made a post raving about a week ago), and Clair Obscura: Expedition 33.
Blue Prince is a fantastic puzzle game/rogue-likes mix, and as someone who enjoys both genres I’ve found their combination is fantastic. Really satisfying game for me, I didn’t close the game on my deck for about a week after first trying it. I’m not done with it yet either, lots more to discover.
Clair Obscura Expedition 33 is a really flashy turn based JRPG made by a team of 30 people who quit Ubisoft because they wanted to make good games. It has incredible production values for such a small team and puts a lot of AAA games to shame. It pushes the deck performance wise, but I think it performs acceptably after tweaking some settings. I’d recommend people follow this guide for making it run it’s best, but the TL;DW is:
The game hides some graphics settings on deck by default and uses a deck specific present. You can re-enable the settings by using the launch option
SteamDeck=0 %command%
, and customize it to your liking. Basically it’s TSR to low, shadow and post processing to low, film grain off, chromatica off, motion blur off, any other option to medium, FPS capped at 30.Oblivion Remastered. Playing via Remote Play, which has given me a decent amount of issues, but when it’s working, it’s great. The game looks gorgeous and has been a ton of fun to play, although I’m having a surprisingly hard time finding side quests. I seem to remember there being more than one or two per town. But whatever, I can always go find a cave, be stealthy and snipe things.
What issues are you having with remote play?
One issue is with video freezing. The sound will keep going, but the video is stuck and the only thing I can do is kill and restart the game.
The other issue is with my lock screen. It’s very hit or miss if I can unlock it from the deck, and sometimes it then picks the wrong monitor to display the game on. Since my 2nd monitor is vertical, that creates a mess of a vertical stream with the game half cut off, and half an empty desktop displaying.

I dont have one but for those that do can you play gta 5 online and rdr2 on the steam deck?
Rockstar recently switched to a kernel anti-cheat program that doesn’t support the deck, breaking online. You can still play the single player versions of those games, but not online unfortunately.
Darn you Rockstar.
V Rising. I’d rather play it on my desktop most of the time but I just want that couch chill at the end of the day
Have you had a chance to play it since the recent update? They completely re-did the controls on the Deck, right? I’d love to hear how it plays now, I’ve been eying it for a while.
