To be honest I have plenty of games in my backlog to play. Buuuut if there are any really good deals on Tunic, Pizza Tower, Tetris Effect or Cult of the Lamb I maybe consider them.

I should probably reduce my backlog first though…

Got cult of the lamb in the last sale. Was really fun and ran well. A bit repetitive with managing the cult in my opinion. But there is an option to stop time while you are on crusade (and cooking without minigane. With that it was worth it :)

I heard there was a big update a couple of months ago - did that change much?

I only played after the upgrade. AFAIK added post game content and the time stop option.

Pizza Tower looks like an absolute blast. Definitely picking it up on sale if I can.

Seconding the Pizza Tower recommendation. It was pretty fun, and I agree the sound track is great.

I’ve never tried the Watch Dogs games - what do you think of Legion?

I’d say get WD2 over Legion. It’s the best one out of the three.

While Legion has some interesting mechanics, it kinda feels half-baked. Didn’t grip me as well as WD2 did. Unless you want a snarky British digital assistant talking to you (and I mean that endearingly), then absolutely get Legion.

As someone who doesn’t play a lot of AAA games, it’s legitimately gripping. Enough that I bought it on both PS5 and PC/Deck. Granted it was on sale both times.

Wait what? You have to play your games first before you can buy more? Well, fuck.

Hoping for a sale on Tunic. I picked it up on my Switch but honestly have been far happier with Deck performance of games I have on both platforms that I’d rather go through it on the Deck

I was also shocked how much worse dead cells performed on the switch, kinda made me decide to stick with pc/deck for non exclusives now

Interestingly I first played Dead Cells on switch and it seemed to run well, but that was a few years back at this point. Did an update tank performance or something?

That’s honestly pretty impressive considering how minimalist the art style is. I played in on Steam Deck and it played flawlessly. Highly recommended.

Oh darn. Since I have a Steam Deck I’ve been wishlisting games like a mad man. It’s going to hard to not buy new games. One of the reasons I got a Deck is that I want to clear out by backlog.

I am actually exactly the same 😂 Wishlist is exploding since getting the Deck, sadly time to game is not.

Depends what’s on sale - but I’ll buy Baldur’s Gate 3 soon or at release, maybe Starfield too depending on performance.

I’d really love a game that’s playable on the Steam Deck on the TV though, Rocket League and SpeedRunners has been great for this. Even moreso if it has local multiplayer.

BattleBit Remastered has been really fun with M+KB recently (and they backed down on the anti-Linux anticheat for now), I wish there were something similar for sports games just focussing on fun over realism, like the old SNES football and hockey games. Something like Mario Strikers but where you manage a team and their stats and abilities, etc.

There’s also Old Time Hockey. Looks like a lot of fun, although I’ve never tried it

There is a hockey game “tape to tape” pins itself as a rouguelite, with 4 player local co-op. Still in early access but seems interesting.

You might enjoy the Super Mega Baseball series. Worth a look, anyway.

If you want some fun “sports” games I’d recommend:

  • Super Blood Hockey
  • Super Slam Dunk Touchdown
  • Regular Human Basketball (Great local co-op game)
  • Windjammers 2
  • Lethal League 1 or 2

I am not sure you will like the genre, but can I humbly recommend souldiers? That game is amazing, and does really well in handheld and tv.

Battlebit back down how? is there a link to a statement? last i read they only reverted to eac temporarily until they resolve some bugs with faceit

However, since BattleBit is not competitive as CSGO or R6 etc, the restrictions become overkill for the majority of our player base, because of this, we are still investigating something in between EAC and FACEIT Anti Cheat in terms of requirements.
