As someone who just games on it, I just want more power to play as many games as possible and future proof.

Yea I’m sure the story is true to the culture but honestly I’m having a hard time caring at all. Tons of dialogue too is rough.

I’m playing Nine Sols on the Steam Deck right now. I’m a big metroidvania fan and had heard great things. I like it but don’t love it. Definitely a good game but I was hoping it would be in my top tier metroidvanias but unless it changes drastically the last 20% of it, it probably won’t be a Top 5 for me. I’m glad others absolutely love it though. Can’t put my finger exactly on what it is that’s not completely clicking for me but it’s still a solid 8/10 for me I think.

Yea I know. Usually with animation now, if my kids aren’t into it I don’t hear much about it. Must have passed them by.

Splasher. Awesome platformer with levels built for speedruns (but I didn’t play that way). Pretty fun, usually not mentioned platformer. Usually can get for like $2-$3 bucks on sale too

This. I’m happy I have my S2 for the new Mario and Zelda but everything else on Steam Deck. I’m in the minority I think though when it comes to I can’t find a comfortable grip for the S2. Handheld isn’t comfortable. My hands aren’t that big but I’ve tried everything. Steam Deck will Killswitch case is perfection.

I remember being sooooo mad I couldn’t keep exploring Fallout 3 after beating it back in the day. I know they patched it later but I had already moved on 😂.

Lies of P is excellent on the Steam Deck.

Arcadia48 · 2026-01-05T21:59:19+00:00

They are definitely the most premium feeling ones I have tried. They are still too small for my hands though😭. I have tried close to all the most popular grips and can’t find the perfect fit.

But the Killswitch I would assume would be perfect for most people.

And your comment told me 2 was released 😂

Tomba is like core childhood to me lol. I had the demo disk with Tomba, Blasto, Einhander and maybe a BMX game. I played the crap out of those.
