    God of war, using Moonlight to stream from my PC. Visuals are definitely better on PC vs the LCD screen of the deck, but sitting on the couch leaning against my wife is nice too

    I’ve been playing far too many games to give anyone of them the attention it deserves. Currently I’m switching between:

    • Persona 5
    • Void Stranger
    • Hogwart’s Legacy
    • Honkai Star Rail
    • Xenotilt/Demon’s Tilt

    Grabbed Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for £4.99 and having a blast. Completed the first game last night and now started on the second one. Runs like a dream, EA launcher didn’t cause any issues (I loaded it in desktop mode the first time) and the game is as good as I remember from first time around.

    The only issue I’m having is when I use the HDR calibration in game I wind up losing a bunch of detail in dark areas and the image overall is way too dark.

    I’ve also picked up subnautica ready to give it a proper go at some point after picking it up and it not quite gripping me on game pass on desktop.

    I just finished Signalis, and am going back to The Long Dark, which I last played 2022. Looks good on the Deck.

    I am also checking out Songs of Conquest, but currently my audio is bugged :(

      That’s unfortunate about Songs of Conquest, according to Protondb everything is supposed to work in that game.

        It’s really weird and I think that maybe Proton is to blame. However, devs are very forthcoming and helping me to find what’s causing the issues. Also, it’s still in early access so I am not to worried about it getting fixed.

      How are you playing FTL on the deck? Are you using the track pads or a custom controller setup? I struggled to find an easy way to play with the controller.

        I’m using a custom controller setup. Search for “mitsein’s very good ftl control scheme” or something similar to find my setup. I use the right track pad as the mouse, left trigger is pause, right trigger is right click, d-pad is weapons 1-4, left stick controls hyperdrive and ship menu, and the right side buttons control going to assigned stations. Takes some getting used to but I spent a lot of time perfecting it and it works well now.

        I find the track pad is best used with the pointer finger instead of the thumb. I like to play games like this by laying the device flat on a desk or in front of me lying on the couch and using my pointer finger without having to hold the device up with my hand at the same time.

    Prey, after a friend recommended it to me. Had mild nausea early but it must’ve been getting used to it, though Borderlands 3 wasn’t as bad I think. Besides that, I appreciate that there’s an official default control scheme for the Deck and in-game icons for the back buttons.

    Also Binding of Isaac. This one benefits the least compared to PC, because I’m glued to my laptop or phone looking up info anyways.

    Randomly started playing PC build simulator. It is funny, how fast this game drains the deck battery and generates heat. Far beyond the other ones for some reason.

    Motor Town is awesome on the steam deck.

    Every single open world game with box vans I have played in the past, I hijack one, drive it for two seconds and realize it is a boring slow joke of a vehicle you aren’t meant to actually use to get around.

    Cut to Motor Town, I am downshifting into a massive power slide, crates of oranges in the back slamming into the wall and committing the back end to the oversteer, and I have a shit eating grin on my face. Seriously “boxy” is a beast just make sure to put it into “drift mode” and take all the assists off…

    Stray. It’s an absolute feast on the eyes on the OLED deck’s screen. Something about the way it pulls off the subtle hue shifts in the game and the high contrast is just better than on 2 different PC monitors I’ve tried, my (arguably cheap) TV or even my (not-so-cheap and also OLED) phone. You just have to try and see for yourself to get it.

    I’ve also gotten back into rhythm games. Been playing Project Diva and Thumper as well lately.

    Started Diablo 4 a couple of days ago and alternate between the Deck and PC. Performance is much better than I would have thought, and even as a KB+M elitist I like the gamepad controls.

    Then there are also some Vampire Survivors-like games. VS itself, with the latest DLC (Among Us collab) and Soulstone Survivors.

    I also got Dave the Diver and Enter the Gungeon in the Winter Sale, but I don’t think I’ll get to those any time soon.
