I'm impressed that Cyberpunk is in the top 10 considering how much flack that game caught.

MODERATORS
People spent 8 years molding their personality around that game. Even when it tried to kill people it couldn't kill the hype.
I’m really surprised to see Baldurs Gate 3 so high, as I’ve heard it doesn’t run too well on Deck.
I’ve been playing it nonstop on my pc, but don’t want to spend time downloading it on the Deck if it doesn’t run well and devours my battery. Is it better than I’ve been hearing?
I play it on the Deck and it runs very well for me, that was actually how I played exclusively for the first few weeks. I only ran into problems when trying to do cross-play, as saving between the two is apparently the shittiest experience ever and I just gave up on it. Now I have an exclusively PC playthrough (good-aligned) and Deck playthrough (evil-aligned). The control scheme takes some getting used to, but it’s still really good.
Cross-save seems to work better now, at least it doesn't sit there trying to sync forever for me.
Same with cyberpunk, people can play it on steam deck? I dont think i can play FPS games there at all, less alone on a small screen with 30 fps (at best)
I play it with a keyboard and mouse using my dock work fine mostly no lag otherwise too small a screen for me for that kind of game

Just posted my shock too before seeing this comment. I really don’t see how it would work, my game runs so blurry on the deck
Surprises me as well. I did briefly try it out on Deck but it seemed that my options were either very blurry or very laggy graphics. But still playable I guess if Steam Deck is your only option.

Does anyone else have Halls of Tournament regularly crash on their steam deck normally when they’ve got about five minutes or less in a run? It’s like 30-50% of the time for me.
I love the game but the crashing (and loss of progress) sucks. I need to pick up Vampire Survivors since I know it’s similar and look fun.
I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these but I like strategy games like HOI4, factorio, rimworld. Anyone have any experience with them on the Deck?
They all work great! Favtorio is the hardest one to wrap your head around but controller support is very good if you want it.
I even play a ton of Dwarf Fortress on it all the time with zero control issues.
I played a ton of EU4 and it did just fine, didn't hit 60fps but really don't need that kind of performance on a map game. back buttons for hotkeys/zooming in/out. Left trackpad set up as a touch to swap between different map types. Can always dock to a monitor with mouse/keyboard or just pair a bluetooth mouse. :)
Thanks for the insight!
