    Need for Speed Heat. I forgot how much fun the NFS games could be. Plus it looks gorgeous both docked and undocked.

    I’m also working my way through the Yakuza series, about ⅔ through Kiwami 2 at the moment.

      NFS Heat is my favorite one. Good soundtrack, and the different track types and gameplay between day and night really keeps it interesting.

    So far just subnautica. I have never played it before, but it definitely fits the handheld + couch vibe more than the keyboard and mouse one.

    The usual balatro with some skyrim and euro truck simulator on the side.

    Right now i’m looking for some management game, because euro truck does not scratch the itch enough.

    The Talos principle 2. I liked the first one but this one is so much better.

    It runs great on SD except I would prefer some text to be larger. It is readable it’s just a bit uncomfortable for my eyes.

      I’ve found the deck magnification shortcut to be unhelpful when I’ve used it - often because the resolution of the text isn’t high enough for it to look legible when blown up.

    Satisfactory runs great on the deck, takes a bit of doing to get the control scheme working well. It’s a serious time sink though. Loads to do. Currently moving from my starter factory to my first mega factory.

    I’ve fired up What Remains of Edith Finch and handed it to my teenaged niece. That seems to be going well.

    My 11 year old brother was told he can’t beat DOOM Eternal on Ultra Nightmare (1 life mode) given only 100 hours of playtime. I told him there’s absolutely no chance he can do that if he’s on Xbox or PS, and to prove it to him I’ve been letting him try on my Steam Deck which is essentially a console controller++

    Credit where it’s due, he’s great with the thumbsticks but he’s changed difficulty from Nightmare to Ultra Violence a few too many times to instill any confidence that he could do this lol

    I recently started Bombrush Cyberfunk and I’m enjoying it. The combat isn’t great, and the music doesn’t work as well as the original JSR soundtrack, but otherwise it’s really good and I recommend it.

    I’ve been swept up by Palworld. I started my own server up for my partner, myself and some of my friends. My partner and I played most of last night waiting for the ball to drop. I may have gone a little overboard trying to breed the perfect Pals.

    My wife and I are squandering the power of our gaming devices by just playing Balatro on them 24/7. She’s on the Deck, I’m streaming from my PC to my Retroid.

    Started playing Spiritfarer and UFO50 in the last couple weeks and will likely play them into the beginning of 2025.
