I just got my SD.
After exploring the system and playing around with many games in my library (thanks to who ever implemented network-downloading), I rediscovered Forza Horizon 5. The new way of playing it seemed to have changed my perspective on the game.
Sons of Valhalla looks fun but the mixed reviews worry me a bit.
BG3 still
Replaying shadow of war and original resident evil 4
Towards the end of Hallow Knight and just starting FF7 remake.
“Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor” has been a blast so far. I’m about 12 hours in.
How’s battery life?
Final Fantasy IX with Moguri Mod
Currently away from my pc and my steam deck is helping me get rid of the helldivers 2 itch haha
I’m playing Oblivion, modded with PushTheWinButton’s Through the Valleys Vanilla Plus Modding Guide. It runs great on the Steam Deck with 4-5 hours of battery life. I’m using a custom control profile that takes advantage of the touchpads and quick menus. Also works great docked on the TV using a similar control scheme on a Steam Controller.
Did you use a mod manager for the mods?
Mod Organizer 2 via rockerbacon’s install script
ULTROS…the visuals are amazing! Runs for nearly 8 hours.
I just picked up “Turbo Golf Racing” last night, and am so far having a good time with it. Seems to be a really interesting take on Rocket League thus far. From what I can tell, all of the rewards in the “shop” are based off of in-game rewards and no premium currency, though there are some cosmetics that you can get in the form of supporter pack purchases (which are quite cheap). There is also a “season pass”, but there’s no premium tier of it. Performs at a nice 90FPS on my OLED Deck.
There are two modes, a “Race” mode which is similar-ish to Rocket League, but everyone has their own ball that they’re trying to race into the goal as quickly as possible, while navigating around the tracks. The “Golf” mode is pretty much traditional golf where everyone has a turn hitting their ball to advance it closer and closer to the goal each turn.
Fair warning, like Rocket League it is primarily an online multiplayer game, the only single player offline mode is the time trials mode.
I was a bit skeptical since the reviews mentioned that the online is dead / long queue times, but I’ve only had to wait a little over a minute at max for a match, in either game mode. Can’t say anything about the “Ranked” mode however.
For what is normally $10 USD (on sale for $7.49 right now) I’m having a very good time!
I’ve also picked up Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and No Man’s Sky, but I haven’t had the time to give them a proper shot yet.
I hadn’t heard of turbo golf racing, but it sounds fun.
DRG survivor and NMS are both great, NMS consumed a couple months of my life when I first tried it last year.
Going pretty hard on a very heavily modified playthrough of CP2077/PL
As my main game, I’m still trying to finish Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Great game, with a huge amount of stuff to do.
On the side, I’ve recently played through Subliminal and Manifold Garden, which were both great experiences. I also picked up EDF 4.1 from the $1 tier of the EDF Humble Bundle, and have been playing it split screen on the TV with one of my sons. The game requires GPU frequency pinning to get a steady framerate, but otherwise runs well and is a lot of fun.
Dragons Dogma 1
Balatro, of course.
Also doing another playthrough of Disco Elysium with a shivers/half-light build.
Death stranding
