Try the Dualsense. If it works well for you, save the money and buy a game instead. If it doesn’t, get an 8bitdo controller.

I gave up after ~2 hours, since I didn’t enjoy driving around the world, but in that time it performed great on the Steam Deck.

Ori and the Will of the Wisp is a good metroidvania, with nice ambiance/music, but the story is a bit generic. It plays well on the Steam Deck, as I guess most metroidvanias do.

It would be interesting to see which games are popular on Steam Deck that aren’t popular on other devices (I.e. games well suited to the Steam Deck) and vice versa (I.e. games not well suited to the Steam Deck).

How do you handle multiple games at once? I’m also trying to play most of my worthwhile games to at least finish the main storyline/quests.

I try to games that don’t have overlapping mechanics: if I’m in the mood for a puzzle, I play Baba is You. If I want something more casual, I play Sonic Racing.

I feel like I would forget about a game as soon as I start another game. then I have to restart the save because I forgot all the controls

Sometimes I do forget games, but I don’t mind if that happens. Some games just don’t stick. I try to buy games only when on discount, so I don’t feel bad if I stop playing it.

I usually complete games, but never to 100%. What attracts me to a game is not usually what’s involved in getting to 100% (e.g. I like the Arkham series just for gliding and stealth, so I don’t bother with the Riddler collectibles)

Completed:

  • Broforce: fun but gets repetitive.
  • Ori and the Will of the Wisps: great.
  • The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe: a worthy successor.

Currently playing:

  • Celeste
  • Baba is you
  • Sonic all stars racing

I replaced my broken Logitech F710 with a PS5 Controller.

The only advantages of the PS5 controller are gyro support, saving a USB port, and USB-C charging.

I’d stick with the Logitech F710.
