        Not at all. I heard mixed things about Rimworld on the deck. Most of it was about the controller schema.

        Reality is (for me) that it plays great. The controls by default are well assigned and it works well.

        The screen size isn’t an issue for me either. It’s mostly subjective but for me it’s a knock out.

    Helldivers 2 on higher difficulties has me hitting 15fps sometimes. It’s so damn tough to play on steam deck because of the quality, but it’s honestly amazing it runs half decent at all.

    I just wonder why people are torturing themselves with BG3 on the Deck. I started playing it but decided not to ruin my experience and switched to a PC

          It has a completely different interface for controller play. In some ways it’s even superior to keyboard+mouse. Like, you can hold down A (or X on PlayStation) and search in a radius around you and then get a list of all interactable objects around you.

          You can change between the two interfaces by pushing a button on the respective device. So if you prefer the keyboard+mouse interface for some things you can easily get it.

            I’ve only played with a controller, so it’s crazy to think this feature doesn’t exist for K+M, but I guess it makes sense.

        I’ve also tried running this in my deck a few different times and I can’t get it to run at a consistent frame rate no matter what my graphics are set to. What are you using? Maybe I’m configuring it wrong

          I’ve got everything on low except for FSR 2 (Ultra Quality), Textures (Medium) and Anisotropic Filtering (4x).

          I don’t get “consistent” framerates either. Everything between 30 and 50 is possible, depending on the area. But it’s definitely playable.

          Edit: And I’m running the dx11 version as the Vulkan one is unstable.

      When I got the Steam Deck I had to install and set up FNV. Once I did that, F3 would work. I would have assumed they had fixed that since then but maybe not? Worth a try.

      It seemed to be because the pre-launch scripts weren’t executing. Installing the other game ran similar scripts which fixed it somehow.

      Honestly, if you own new Vegas have a look at tale of two wastelands. It ports over all of fallout 3 into the new Vegas engine, and with it brings all the upgrades that the nv engine has, like stability (after installing the 20 or so mods needed), iron sights, and all the increased mod support fnv has.

      Red Dead Redemption 2 has been on this list since the release of the steam deck because the 3 people still trying to play that game on the deck haven’t finished loading the world yet

        That one really surprised me, does it have something like a render scale slider? Unless there’s a baked-in way to achieve ultra potato graphics, I just can’t imagine it’s playable.

        But shit man, the numbers are right there! There’s gotta be something to it. Maybe people are just putting up with ~20fps averages or some shit.

    I’ve noticed that the games that dominate this list every month are very long games designed to suck players into their gameplay loops for hundreds of hours. Nothing wrong with that, but it makes me wonder if there are short games that are very popular, yet get left off of this list just because they end in 10 hours. I would like to see a top 20 list sorted by number of players rather than playtime.

      So far I have a habit of playing the same game for longer when I play in short bursts on the train and sometimes bus to work. Games like those probably just work really well for commuting.

    I don’t have a Steam Deck, but those are just famous games regardless. For example, I play TW3 and SDV.

    Hades and Isaac are surprising. They’re both old enough that I would have thought they wouldn’t be flush with players right now. The fallout stuff makes sense, given its fanbase and the show’s influence. I wonder if I should go back and try to 100% either of them now…

      Some of those Hades hours were from me. Just have two achievements left but one of them will require skilling up a bit.

      I know I went back to some older lighter titles on the steamdeck. People might just be wanting to experience Hades and Isaac on a handheld.

    Definitely gonna have to install NV on my deck that finally arrived yesterday and see how good it is on deck… even though I am still nowhere near done with my melee build on my desktop and will need to copy all my bug fixing mods and settings from there as well.

    Maybe I’ll do an unarmed build where I side with Yes Man while taking out as many factions as possible.

      Never played FNV before and just killed Vulpes Inculta in Nipton and the game got so hard after this. I wouldn’t have played FNV if it wasn’'t for the Steam Deck, but it’s great so far.

        Pissing off the legion is one of my favorite things to do in every playthrough. I’ll take the chance to shoot those jerks every single chance I get.

        It’s so much fun to randomly get ganked because a group of legionaries pops out of the trees. You’d think my followers would be a good distraction, but they really gun for you after you brain Volpes and [redacted].

          Laughs in ED-E/Boone overwatch squad

          Those two will drop incoming Legion goons from outside of render range. Boone will jump-scare me with sudden camera pans to exploding Legion heads while I didn’t even know combat was happening.

    This is only because they exclude me as an outlier putting in ten thousand hours of Project Zomboid on the Deck.

      Do you really have 10000 hours playing PZ on the deck or just overall playing the game? I mean, the deck came out two years ago, seems highly unlikely you put all those hours on the deck specifically.

        I’m exaggerating for comedic effect. I have ~300 hours in PZ all on the Steam Deck. Not the game I was expecting to play on it but it works pretty well.

          Yeah, from what I played of it back in the day it does not strike me as deck friendly but good to know it works well on the deck

        If you only sleep 8 hours a day, you could get 10,000 hours in a year. That doesn’t account for working, bathing, or other tasks that may interfere with Precious.
