I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I’d say it’s the first game where I’ve noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week.

On the other hand, I found Slay the Spire to be better on PC. The controls and smaller screen seem to get in the way a little bit more.

Any other suggestions for games that really shine on the Deck vs PC?

Enter the Gungeon. I’ve had a blast playing that in short bursts on my deck.

Diablo 2 Resurrected and Diablo 4 have both seen more Steam Deck time than PC. Really nailed the controller scheme, and the graphics still decent for an 800p screen.

Maybe it is me but I find it tiresome that whenever you die you have to go through all those rooms to start again - is there a shortcut?

This provides story progression - by talking to all the residents. You can just run through three room and be in the action again.

I think that’s the nature of the genre unless I’m missing something.

I mean going through your own room, Hades, etc. until you get to slashing again

There is no shortcut, you have to enjoy the interactions with the characters and the developing narrative.

I am playing Jurassic World Evolution 2, works great on Deck out of the box.

I also have Hades in queue.

I on the other hand find it better on my ultrawide monitor (Hephaistos uw fix is marvelous). On the Deck I go docked on the TV since the Deck screen is a little too small and make the combat a little too cramped for my old ass eyes.
