    It’s impressive to me that games made by small teams or solo artists are going toe to toe with games made by the entire Western hemisphere. Stardew Valley is being played more than RDR2?

      A graphically demanding game being high on this list is more impressive to me. BG3 looks like a claymation game on the deck, I wasn’t expecting it to be anywhere near as high.

    I had no idea vampire survivor was such a hit. Feels like that would be a great handheld game.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly a surprise. I tried it on my Steam Deck, and not only could I not figure out how to make the graphics look decent on my monitor, but I had a problem where the game would eventually stop accepting mouse input, forcing me to quit and relaunch. I didn’t get far until I switched to the macOS version once it came out.

    How are people playing that game on a Steam Deck?

    Worth noting that Steam doesn’t track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn’t include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.

          Ah that’s a good point. I main Windows myself on Deck, due to Game Pass, so I forget about that side of things.

          Edit: The amount of downvotes I got just for mentioning using Windows on Deck…

    Reviews of starfield on steamdeck: probably not the best experience maybe stick to more powerful devices

    Average Steamdeck user: fuckin watch me, peasant.

    Wait starfield works on SD? I thought it was too slow. Has there been a new patch?

      I actually went on vacation the day it released. I installed it on my deck to be able to play when at the hotel. I put 14 hours in starfield on my deck. It’s PLAYABLE but not really ENJOYABLE. You have to turn it down to almost the lowest setting to play it reliably.

      I played like 80 hours on steam deck. I don’t think it’s as optimized as Todd claims (RDR2 is much older and looks much better), but it plays alright.

      No mods or anything, just settings tweaks.

        I did not know you could play with a controller on PC. Is thist a steam customization for the deck ? (When I plug my xbox controller nothing happens in control settings or anywhere)

          I honestly couldn’t tell you how it works. Maybe check input settings in game? The game isn’t verified on deck so I wouldn’t think steam has done anything specific to make the controller work.

    People really play this many games in a month? Even when I played a lot I mostly focused on very few games.

    Crazy that Binding of Isaac is still in there, it’s been years since the last release and it’s not really in the public consciousness the same way something like Vampire Survivors is. Fantastic game though, happy to see it continue to succeed

      I wish it would go on sale… ever. I’ve bought it multiple times across several platforms now, I really don’t want to spend $60 trying to get all the DLC on PC

    The fact the SteamDeck can play all of these at decent graphics and FPS in their full fat PC version still blows my mind

      I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on my Steam Deck since release, it’s been such a great experience I can not recommend it enough, I never thought I would be able to play such a great game confortably from my bed on a “handheld” (?).

      I honestly reach for it more than my Xbox or switch. it’s easy to pick up and put down. easy to charge. and stuff runs fine on it.

      It’s not for everybody, but I love my deck.

        I was skeptical at first and I finally gave in two weeks ago and it arrived last week.

        I love my Steam Deck, this seems dumb but I actually use it to stream my ps5 and more intensive PC games. It easier to move around and pick up and put down. I’ve started to play games I bought years ago. Finished Limbo and Inside and playing Bioshock Remastered.

          that’s not dumb at all, it’s a great use for it! I had planned to make mine strictly an emulation device (which it’s amazing for) until I realized how well it handled bigger titles. not perfectly by any stretch, but mostly smooth and playable.

          I had never played any of the fallout games and I’ve had a blast with new Vegas and fallout 4. I’d owned them for years but just never got around to it.

          if only I could stop playing bg3 for long enough to get through some more of my backlog…

      I played about 8 games in a row that I couldn’t get into until I found this one. It is definitely enjoyable.

    I really want to enjoy games like Fallout or GTA on the Deck but compared to mouse/keyboard it’s just really bad. I cannot understand how so many people like to play games like CoD or Battlefield on consoles.
