    My dad has been playing it, and almost exclusively it, for years. From 360 to Xbox One to Xbox Series X. It’s literally the only game he even has for the X, he bought the machine just to play Skyrim. He was so excited to find mods. Idk how many thousands of hours he has in it.

    Say what you will about Bethesda and Skyrim, but they must have done something right because people still can't put it down over a decade later. I do want to play it at some point, but I don't know when I'll have that kind of time.

    The fact that you can play it with all the infinite goodness from the Workshop is a really strong selling point because it's thus the only mobile version of Isaac that is actually up to date + modded compared to mobile/console versions.

    Apologies - I think the Witcher was mostly me. I finally decided I was going to finish it so I could move on to something new.

    Damn people are able to play baldurs gate on there? I tried and everything becomes so blurry that it’s not even worth. Wonder if I’m doing something wrong

    I've been happily adding to Dave the Diver's numbers, such a perfect fit! Pretty interesting list all around, definitely some surprises in there.

    Not sure what it says about the current state of gaming that so many of these games are quite old

    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.

    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

    Really cute and relaxing game. Lots of charm and perfect for the steam deck. In this game youre a dude named Dave, a diver, who catches fish by day and works in a sushi bar by night. I stopped playing zelda totk for this haha.

    It's been awesome to see the success of Vampire Survivors. Such a technically simple idea that's so much fun!

    Surprised to see Brotato so high.

    Not because the game is bad, it's amazing, I love it on the Deck. But I didn't know it was that popular and I thought Vampire Survivors had obfuscated it. Glad to see it represented!

    Gotta assume those BG3 Steam Deck numbers are gonna tank as people get into acts 2 and 3. Act 1 runs quite well on deck, but no amount of low settings or disabled features provides an acceptable level of performance.

    I’m really surprised to see Baldurs Gate 3 so high, as I’ve heard it doesn’t run too well on Deck.

    I’ve been playing it nonstop on my pc, but don’t want to spend time downloading it on the Deck if it doesn’t run well and devours my battery. Is it better than I’ve been hearing?

    I play it pretty much exclusively on my Deck and haven’t run into any performance issues that have bothered me. Patch 2 made things noticeably smoother so I expect it to get even better over time. I haven’t hit act 3 yet though and that seems to be where most people have problems in general.

    Turning off FSR is a must if you don’t want a blurry mess.

    Honestly I know the Deck can run recent and current AAA titles but I generally have had just as much fun playing low-demand games like Stardew, Dead Cells, Caveblazers, etc.

    Does anyone else have Halls of Tournament regularly crash on their steam deck normally when they’ve got about five minutes or less in a run? It’s like 30-50% of the time for me.

    I love the game but the crashing (and loss of progress) sucks. I need to pick up Vampire Survivors since I know it’s similar and look fun.
