[–] Gleddified@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (4 children) Not sure what it says about the current state of gaming that so many of these games are quite old permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 33 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not much? I eyeball it as about 1/4 of the games being in the last two years. That seems pretty reasonable to me. If an actual majority were brand new games it would just tell you that PC gamers (or at least steam deck) are just chasing novelty over quality. It's OK not to play every brand new game right on release, and it's OK to play older games. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sarfunkel@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (2 children) It looks like 1/4 of the games were released in the last 2 months(ish) lol: -Baldur's Gate 3 -Dave the Diver -Armored Core 6 -Holocure -Remnant 2 If I'm counting it right, half of the games were released in the last 2 years permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago Yeah, I didn't search. Just did the ones I immediately recognized as recent big budget ones. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 10EXP@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago HoloCure is an exception I’d say: It was on itch.io for almost a year before the recent Steam release. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 26 points 2 years ago It's the Steam Deck. Older games are gonna run better. permalink fedilink source parent [–] regalia@literature.cafe 13 points 2 years ago Nah last few years have released some of the best games of all time. Just this year alone we got TOTK and Baulders Gate 3. Gaming is in really good shape right now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think it says far more about the capabilities of the steam deck. The thing is perfect for older, less intensive titles. I wouldn't expect this list to be filled with new releases. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] limeaide@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago Yeah I prefer to play more demanding games on my PC and up the graphics permalink fedilink source parent
