It will likely be at least a year or two before Spider-Man 2 comes to Steam. It will be about 2 years for Horizon: Forbidden West, and I think that was the fastest one so far.
I've started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I've added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?
For a long time I went down crazy modding rabbit holes for the fallout games, spending more time modding than actually playing. I finally decided to just pick a setup and stick with it so I could actually enjoy the game. I ended up following this guy's modlist which has a nice focus on the essentials.
Some of those look nice! I notice that a lot have pre-requisite mods, and those require their own pre-requisites 😱 I'll see if I can find some easy to install ones
The new Forza Motorsport has a system where you have to drive a car for like 3 hours before you’re able to upgrade all of the parts on it. Regardless of how many credits you have.
So I’ve been using xCloud to “play” Forza with all of the driving assists on—accelerating, braking, shifting, all of it—just to level up cars to the point I unlock all of the upgrades to that car. (Offline, of course. Not gonna mess up someone else’s game because of Microsoft’s weird ideas on progression.)
So “AFK racing” has been running on my Deck more than any other game this week.
Yeah, I guess they were going for “engagement” or whatever metrics look good to the C suite pinheads.
But the actual racing with a properly upgraded and tuned car feels really good! So I enjoy the actual racing, and let the computer do the grinding for me lol
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
I just wanted to see how well it ran (decently enough, a few more stutters / slowdowns than I hoped but certainly playable) and now it has been the main game I've played for several weeks 😅
Game is fun :b
Spiritfarer, which looks like it’s related to Stardew Valley, but turns pretty damn dark at times. Also
Baldur’s Gate 3, Stray and Hollow Knight.
BG3 really needs to be played plugged in as it eats battery like crazy and also helps with a bigger screen. At which point I might as well go down to the big computer.
Just started playing Slime Rancher and it's a pretty fun relaxing game. I picked up Slime Rancher 2 as well but am waiting until I finish the first game to start playing it again.
Currently going through every Metroidvania Castlevania posterior to Symphony, went through the Advance Collection and had to resort to emulation for the NDS ones, currently on Portrait of Ruin. After that we'll see.
A friend got me into Honkai Star Rail, so that's been taking up most of my time.
Other than that, I've also been playing Black Mesa and Trolley Delayma which is a free little trolley problem game.
I'm still putting off Baldur's Gate 3 hoping for FSR 2 to be added, but with silence from the devs on when/if that's being added, I'll probably go ahead and start playing it soon.
I hope to play some more Baldur's Gate III. I'll probably stream it from my main computer since the fan noise is so loud otherwise. It's been a while since tried to run it on the Steam Deck so there might have been some updates, gonna try it again! I'll probably make some progress in Stardew Valley and Hades too, both wonderful games for the Deck!
Ni No Kuni II. It's a fun RPG that's easy to put down and come back to when you have time. The combat is fun too, though the voice overs are a bit distracting.
Been rocking out with Songs of Syx, a rather fun little city builder/colony management/4X mashup. Gotta admit I’m getting back into strategy games with the touchpad lol
I just installed this the other day but haven't really gotten into playing it yet. I'm at the part with the druids and have only played on PC so far, still kinda getting used to the game I guess.
Just finished shadow of Mordor yesterday and it was fun, and worked perfect on the deck. Today I started Darkwood, seems to be working reasonably well so far, although the run versus walk controls are a little clunky, but overall no big issues just an hour in to it
Haven't used my Deck in a while, but yesterday I played Overwatch on it. New gf plays on console, so she was on Switch and I was on Deck. I'm not good at controller Overwatch but after a few games I felt like I wasn't a complete drag on our team at least.
I started playing it at the start of this week, and have been completely hooked into it.
What I find pleasantly surprising is that I gave the game a few chances over the years, but it just didn’t click. Perhaps as I was playing on a PS, and I find it very odd to play platformers and similar games on it.
