I bought Tunic and Crosscode.
I jumped straight into Tunic, and am having a great time. I recently finished Outer Wilds and was wanting another knowledge based progression game.
Enjoy, both OW and Tunic are up there in my favourite games. Return of the Obra Dinn is another good one, if you didn’t play it already.
Chasing after that same high, I bought the newest versions of Myst and Riven, never played the originals. Quite stumped in the first level of Myst. I feel like I may enjoy Riven more, but gonna try and stick with Myst first.
Return of the Obra Dinn is on my list, but I haven’t played it yet. I did play through Forgotten City earlier this year, and it was really good.
Crosscode is absolutely amazing and is one of my favorite games ever.
That’s what people keep telling me. It’s been $6 on GoG for months now, but I really wanted it in steam instead. And thankfully, it finally went on sale for $6 on Steam as well.
Did you also get recommended the “Metroid Brainia” video on YouTube a few days ago? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JA3UAYgd5Nw
I also just bought Tunic and Outer Wilds! Tunic is great so far
I did, but I haven’t actually watched it yet. I’ve been wanting to buy tunic/ow for years now.
I bought two games:
- The farmer was replaced - a simple Idle game, where you need to use a Python like code to automate a farming drone with farming hat that is doing the farming for you and the complexity of the tasks is increasing progressively. This game is in early access and has no discount but the price is 7€, so hardly breaking the bank.
- European Truck Simulator 2 - because it was just 2€ and it looks chill, even though I am not much into car racing games.
The farmer was replaced sounds pretty interesting, I’ll check it out.
Yes, it is a cool little game, definitely worth the consideration for experienced and beginner programmers.
Frick, I’m going to have to check out Farmer Was Replaced.
I got Euro Truck Simulator aswell, for the same reason lol
Bought Dicey Dungeons as a good one to play on Deck. I can run it with the TDP on the GPU set to 3w, which increases the battery lifespan impressively, while still running great! Plus the game itself lends itself well to the deck I’d say.
Great game, I’ve now bought it on 3 different platforms which is rare for me.
I bought FH4 since they announced it’ll be delisted by the end of the year. I’ve previously played it a lot via gamepass, but despite the fact that it doesn’t have Cross-Progression with the Steam version I still bought it on Steam so I could play it on Steam deck. Medium settings run at 60fps!
Other than that my backlog is big enough that I will abstain from the sale. Recently finished The Werecleaner (short and funny free game) and Black Mesa. Now playing CrossCode, FEZ and Nightmare Kart.
Playing FH4 too, trying to get all the playlist related achievements before it’s too late 😋
One thing I’ve noticed is that you can’t be signed in from two places, so if you decide to play on desktop after playing on the deck, you need to sign in again…
FH4?
Forza Horizon 4 - I had to search to the acronym
Ah, thanks
It is like Motor Town but only focused on lame rich people supercars and suvs :P
I picked this up last month, and it’s a blast.
How have I not heard of this game? It looks awesome.
I can’t be the only one who bought Animal Well
I bought it when it released and loved it, very cleverly designed and works perfectly on Steam Deck. Also just for fun, try swiping across the touchscreen…
I bought Balatro, Neon White, GRIS, Rollerdrome, and Pentiment. They’re all under $15 CAD and I’ve sunk a few hours into Balatro already
Balatro is addictive
I bought Baldur’s Gate 3, Deep Rock Galactic and Undertale.
Right now, I am trying to get into Mass Effect 3, but I think I need a little break from it after completing ME2.
The new season of DRG has suckered me back in, and some more of my friends just bought it as well. I hope you have a good time with it, it’s possibly my favorite game of all time.
In my opinion Deep Rock Galactic is easily the best co-op shooter of all time, hands down.
Yes LFD 2 and Helldivers 2 are great, and if your preference is for those games or warhammer Vermintide or whatever, fair enough, but I think from a game mechanics standpoint Deep Rock Galactic is a nearly flawless game. The guns all feel chunky and great, the verticality is SUPERB, the movement mechanics for the scout class have a ridiculously high skill ceiling, the tunneling mechanics are mindblowing just by themselves in the way they deepend combat and tactics, the ambiance is KILLER especially given the relatively simple but still attractive graphics, the Devs are super chill and release cosmetic DLCs so everyone can get new content… the list just goes on and on
I don’t think people are ever going to get sick of it, I am confident you are always going to be able to find co-op lobbies to hop onto far into the future.
I agree. I think the way that different terrain changes combat is key, and when combined with the players ability to shape terrain (especially with the driller or engi) has created a system that can constantly feel fresh for combat.
I’ve put a lot of hours into different coop shooters, but DRG is my most played steam game (675 hours) and still feels fresh.

I picked up quite a few games - Deathsmiles, DoDonPachi Resurrection, Mega Man X Legacy Collection, Mushihimesama, ProtoCorgi, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge and Ultrakill.
I’ve only played ProtoCorgi so far and I kinda love it - I mean, you’re a corgi, barking or shooting lasers at various enemies in space, what’s not to love?
I’ve already played most of the other games before and wanted to own them on Steam, except for Ultrakill (and I’m really looking forward to that one).Balatro and Balatro. It’s so good
Completed my first run today!
Get it!!
I bought Reus 2 (A puzzle god game) at launch last month - game changer!
Finally a game that I enjoy playing on the deck and actually want to play after work on my commute etc. highly recommend it.
Stray
Binding of Isaac Rebirth
Disco Elysium
Dark Souls Remastered (don’t think it was even on sale, but I have never played a souls game and was told this was a good place to start)
Basically a bunch of big hits that I never got around to. I’m starting with Stray, it’s relaxing and fun. I played a little Dark Souls, but I need to come back to that when I have more time to focus.
I was also looking at Death must Die. I played the shit out of Vampire Survivors, and I’ve heard DMD is more of the same.
Last big StamDeck game for me was Hades 2. Loved the original and 2 was just as fun. I know it’s not fully complete, but I unlocked everything available and upgraded most of the gear all the way. I can’t wait for the full release.
Psychonauts 2. Was a huge fan of the original on PS2 and I can’t believe it’s taken me years to try the sequel. The animation, level design, and writing are all at the level of quality and creativity that I wanted to see videogames progress to some day when I was a kid. This is a playable DreamWorks film.
Imo they play more as playable Tim Burton movies lol. I love the games so much.
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Logged in at least 21 hours in it. It’s also at that price point where you feel indifferent if you don’t like it.
I picked this up about 2 months ago. Took me about 100 hours before I could put it down.
I bought The Falconeer yesterday, haven’t played it yet, I’m looking at my wishlist and considering more options
Consider refunding and grabbing it for free from epic in a few days? Granted that would require you to tinker with the deck a bit to install from the other stores besides steam, if you’re up for it
Oh that’s a good tip, thanks!
