Been playing a lot of Deep Rock Galatic! The deck is surprising good at handling FPS games. And the performance is very good.( mostly 60fps @10 watt. Gpu pinned 1100Mhz)
Played a lot less single player game than I expected tho.
Talos Principle 2! Loved the first one, am having a blast so far diving in.
Also, PictoPix, a fun little Picross game.
I just finished another Cyberpunk game called Sanibi, I highly recommend it, it’s freaking amazing. I don’t know which other cyberpunk game I can play with great stories (already done Katana Zero) so I bought Celeste but I’m almost at the top of the mountain already.
So I continued my play through of BGIII and I had a blast!
Citizen Sleeper is really good if you’re into its kind of gameplay
Still playing the best steam deck game ever: HALLS OF TORMENT!
So I started (and finished…ish) Hollow Knight. I got the first ending and I was planning on going back for the true ending but now I’m a little out of it, I’m actually not sure I want to go back in and experience the game at its most difficult. I had a real good time, but the difficulty spike is supposed to be pretty huge and that’s not why I went to that game.
Also been playing Death Must Die which is a Hades-meets-Vampire-Survivor game. It’s in early access but it’s absolutely hitting the right spot. I’m probably going to jump off for now though, I don’t want to exhaust my time with the game before it’s out.
Finally, I’ve just picked up the poker game that everyone is currently playing (I can’t remember the name) called Baletro…maybe
And Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors because apparently I like these Auto-shooter things.
I felt exactly the same about Hollow Knight. I’m worried Silksong (whenever it comes out) will lean even more into the difficulty of late-game HK.
Now don’t get me wrong, I may yet go back to it. What I’ve read though…isn’t exactly selling it. Celeste level platforming and a bucket load of boss fights that are significantly harder than what I faced in the main story…
Im a sucker for those hard games, I’ve beaten Cuphead twice, finished Sekiro and Elden Ring…but I’m not sure I want the same things from Hollow Knight you know?
It Takes Two with the fiancé - thinking about what other coop games to play
I’ve enjoyed Stardew Valley with my partner. Great farming sim (bonus: lots of mods, when you get tired from the main game)
Another recommendation I have is Farm Together. It is a co-op and online farm simulator where crops take IRL time to grow (15 mins - multiple days). There are tonssss of different crops and animals and the basic gameplay loop is just fun, especially because it takes some skill to set up a reliable money stream.
Spelunky 2 is a co-op gem too :)
