SteamDeck TOP Played list.
In the past week, I’ve already spent dozens of hours on the new DLC of Brotato and Vampire Survivors, it’s so addictive! In a few weeks, there will also be the official releases of DarkchaserBattletide and Jotunnslayer. There are just too many survivor-like games to play!
My friend who also has a deck said BG3 was unplayable after getting to the city, which prompted me to not even try to run it. What are other people’s experiences?
Needs more UFO50, it’s like the dream game for the steam deck.
I can’t help but question the accuracy of this list, since the Steam Deck doesn’t seem to log hours for games played in offline mode correctly. I easily have hundreds of hours unaccounted for. It will also add played time for hours spent in standby with a game running, but then wipe all of the hours played and in standby once I connect to the internet.
Valve would probably like to hear about your findings so that they can resolve this if it is verified
At least on PC if you play a game without internet connection the library update the achievements/hours played when you reconnect, is different when you log in the offline mode?
It does update achievements. It’s really just play time that seems to have issues
I recently put a dozen hours into Witcher 3 while using my steam deck on a couple long flights. I’m pretty sure it synced correctly when I finally got home and connected to wifi. Maybe it didn’t work at one time, but I’d be surprised if it still doesn’t.
Yeah I played Divinity Original Sin this weekend and my internet died Saturday, finished the game, when my internet got back on Monday steam saved my +15hr and the achievements but I also let my PC on and steam opened hoping for the best.
WTF is this banana shit
It’s a cookie clicker type game that occasionally drops steam items that you can sell on the marketplace for real money. Most of the playtime comes from bots, not actual players, which is why it is so far up the charts
The whole thing is a scam basically
People actually buy steam items?
Those prices are absolutely bonkers if that’s JPY (¥). For reference, $1 ~ ¥150.
ITT: people who think Balatro is so good they don’t even need to spell it right. They’re right though.
Now that I have your attention, check out Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers if you prefer blackjack over poker. Or Solitairica if you enjoy Solitaire. Should run like a dream on Steam Deck as well.
This tracks, I almost exclusively play Balarto on my deck. A lot of those last almost a whole day on battery with how undemanding they are (and did you know you can undervolt games? I run a copy of Phantasy Star Online at 3w and it lasts 8 hours).
Nice. Its such small footprint game. Im tempted to get it for mobile/ other game console (portmaster?) just to keep going. Steam deck is great, but I need something smaller when I go out.
I agree. I wish we could get a deck mini at the very least. I miss my hacked PSP for that reason, it has a good size for emulation. A PSP sized PC would be insane.
Other games ive liked on the steam deck:
I like pixel games and/or great flow state. The SD has some of the best speakers on handhelds ive ever owned plus audio jack (wooo!). For flow games, ill often put them on and have an audiobook or podcast going at the same time.
- Peglin, fun little peggle rouge-like. Its a good flow state game.
- Coromon - Pokemon like game with excellent GBA vibes. Awesome pixel art, the coromon themselves look fantastic. Great little RPG.
- Dave the Diver - I recently picket this up. Ive been enjoying the game, again pixel art is great. I love that all the side charaters have these huge cutscenes but Dave is just…Dave.
- Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling - If you liked Mario RPG or the paper mario series, this is a game for you.
- Tetris® Effect: Connected - Tetris, but with trippy visuals/music. Great flow state game that you can play with your friends.
- Cobalt Core - rouge-like, FTL like, space game. Has a good story, fun gameplay loop. Another flow state game for me.
I was actually very surprised dragon age is on the list. I have only heard bad things so I went and checked the reviews on it and I am even more surprised. I guess the game wasn’t as bad as everyone tried to make me believe. It looks cool but you can’t really tell how good a game is by checked some gameplay videos and apparently not reviwers opinions either haha
But why is a clicker game so popular tho? Isn’t it better to play those on a mobile?
@leonokarin
I feel like I’ve missed something with brotato. Isn’t that another one of the platformers around the time of guacamelee and broforce, that kind of indie things?Its gameplay is similar to Vampire Survivors. I actually prefer it because it has more characters, upgrades and synergies.
And its potato based so starchy and slower digesting than most sucrose based games like this.
Just want to say that Balantro on mobile is fantastic and you don’t need to miss it just because you don’t have a steam deck.
