so… what’s peoples thoughts on the Deck?
I assume many more are now finally getting their hands on them?
what are you enjoying playing?
I’ve had mine now for a bit over 6 weeks, its been a lot of fun - better than expected.
(and valve is doing a sublime job, in weekly updates to keep improving experience!)
in recent years, Ive not done any gaming, so it’s been quite an experience getting back into it, with so many great new and old titles to play.
one thing, Ive been figuring out is what I like to play… and what I think fits well with the Deck experience.
I used to be mainly into Racing (Car) games, but that doesn’t really appeal much to me on the Deck… though I guess I should give it a go.
probably the one thing that I noticed you have to be very aware of with the Deck, is smaller text in games - its perhaps slightly more of an issue than I expected - and I think influences what works well on deck.
on the flip side, the compatibility of games with the Deck , is much better than I expected, so the choice is definitely there.
so what’s working well for me on the deck?
Eldern Ring, Hollow Knight, Rogue Legacy 2… all are great, though I think I need to improve my gaming chops a bit … esp. for the latter two!
Ive finished the main quest line on Star Wars Lego, quite easy - and was nice light relief after playing Eldern Ring!
moved on to No Mans Sky, which Ive enjoyed just for chilled exploring, and space battles … I seem to have forgotten the main quest, but might get back to it.
the fell into Dishonoured 2, is fantastic… Im really enjoying this, something about the stealth mechanics.
in fact so much so, led me to to pick up Metal Gear Solid 5, which is also proving to be fun… though Ive not quite worked out a strategy for this yet.
Overall, so many things to try… and lots of sales on Steam, so from virtually no games 6 weeks ago, Ive built up a nice little collection, with a lot of variety.
