Finally got over my laziness and set Retro Arch up so both my PC and SD can play and sync easily

So I’ve been playing a bunch of old PS1 and GBA games for the last few weeks, Pokemon Emerald most recently

Having achievements in old games is addicting

I thought I’d have enough of Baldur’s Gate 3 by now, but I think I’m about to start my third playthrough. Even though performance sucks ass in the third act.

Did the last update help much? It was largely performance focused but I haven’t heard much about how significant the improvements are.

No, not really. I think it’s all the NPCs running around in the city. I bet that’s CPU bound, which is not that great on the Deck.

Baldurs gate 3, crosscode, and might give invisible inc or RimWorld a try. And some occasional Halo infinite, somehow it runs better on steam deck than my windows PC

I’m still having a blast with Baldur’s Gate but I’ve been hearing good things about Armored Core and want to try it

It sounds like it runs pretty well on the deck! I’m excited to try it too once I’m done with bg3

If you like HoT some other games to try:

  • Vampire Survivors - I actually like this more that HoT and I played HoT first

  • Brotato - Simpler version of this type of game, fixed map size but fun variant

  • 20 Minutes till Dawn - I just started this (got it in a Steam bundle with Brotato) and it’s ok, I don’t like the aiming very much but it’s a decent game.

Thanks. I actually enjoy all those games and can’t wait for Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.

Another game that’s a bit less polished but still enjoyable is Don’t Shit On My #!$@& Roof.

Oh fuck! I hadn’t heard for DRG:Survivor. I LOVE DRG and now I can’t wait for this game.

Also steam just started a big sale of these types of games that you should check out if you haven’t already. Shmup Fest.
