Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down? (beehaw.org)

Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to the device.

I’m trying to reinvigorate my old, nostalgic love of gaming and hoping to find the perfect Steam Deck + addicting game combo.

Tried Hollow Knight for the first time on the Deck, it works so well!

I'm not even specially good at gaming but I thought Hornet (a Hollow Knight boss) was quite enjoyable and not that hard and I wonder if it has to do with the Deck controls, since everyone has mentioned how difficult that one is (I did find all other bosses very difficult so this is not a boast).

Edit to mention that Horizon: Zero Dawn is another one that I only tried with the Deck and it also works really well, though this one consumes a lot more battery compared to HK.

I am going to sound like an unpopular opinion but some games are just easier without keyboard and mouse. I personally have a controller for these games.

Edit: Xbox one with usb(faster latency)

Interesting. Which controller?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not OP, but I use an Xbox one controller.

The newer ones just use Bluetooth and these days my primary gaming computer is a laptop. Works fantastic, just plug and play really.

Thanks!

I've been hearing that those Xbox controllers work very seamlessly with PCs. I'll probably buy one soon. I'll use it with MAME and some Steam games.

just want to say, if you have the choice to buy either the Xbox One or the newer Xbox Series controllers, it's worth it to go for the newer one. Some of the buttons (the bumpers in particular) are way better on the newer controller.

Thank you for that tip.

Edit: This one?
