Recently finished Bioshock, Spec-Ops: The Line and Nier Automata (not so old, but played really well).
I’d love any suggestions for older AAA titles that are worth a play-through!

The Batman Arkham games
The Witcher series
Fallout series
FYI: the next major Steam sale starts June 29th- I got all those Arkham games for 8 bucks last year, so make a list and wait a few weeks. You can join the rest of us who have 100 games bought for 80% off and 10% played 🤣
Hey thanks for the tip!
I’ll 100% get in on the coming sale, my first Steam sale…ever.
Welcome! And say goodbye to your wallet :D
But seriously, I’m curious why this is your first. Always stuck to console before? Finally got some extra spending money? New to gaming in general?
You can never go wrong with Dark Souls.
100%! Dark Souls is challenging but incredibly rewarding. They reward pattern recognition and give you a ton of build options. If you’ve ever played Elden Ring, you’ll probably enjoy the third game, too. 😄
All of the titles work well on Steam Deck too, with gold or platinum rankings on ProtonDB.
My grip on AAA is definitely weak. but Stellaris works very well both in terms of performance and ability to work the interface; using and customizing a community profile recommended.
Would you say any of the DLCs are a must? I’ve been enjoying the base game and can’t decide which ones to pick up.
Utopia is pretty universally agreed to be the most important DLC. Past that, Overlord is a good pick since they’ve made vassals something you actually want beyond RP reasons and it makes them much more effective, plus it adds hyper relays. I like Galactic Paragons a lot, a lot of people think Federations and Apocalypse are pretty essential, and at that point you’re into picking and choosing what you’d like to have more of.
I could never get into Fallout New Vegas, but for whatever reason playing it on the Steam Deck made it infinitely more enjoyable! I couldn’t recommend it enough.
Oh, and Mass Effect is perfect too.
