Emulating Final Fantasy X. It plays really well, especially with save states and 2x speed.

So, I got some games from the sale and slowly started playing them a little...
Slay the Spire seems to be quite liked, but it's not really my thing. Beat the game with three of the four characters I have access to and it still hasn't really "clicked". If somebody could explain to me what makes this game so (supposedly) great, maybe I'd be able to appreciate it a little better?
I also got Redout 2, because I really enjoyed the first part and thought the second should be at least as good. So far I like it, seems like a graphics upgrade and some gameplay enhancements from the first part. However, with ai assist disabled, the difficulty curve seems to be brutally steep. Also, even though I have only played like 8 tutorials and 3 campaign tracks so far, I have already had some issues with clipping through the course after jumps, which might turn into a rather annoying trait if it remains an issue. Still, would recommend. It's a beautiful antigravity racer with terrific "car" mechanics.
Apart from that, I got the gog version of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri running (although the videos don't work). It's kind of my comfort game which I keep returning to.
I got the Deck from Summer Sale and since then I've been playing:
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Been waiting to play this one for years, but haven't had Playstation since PS2 or proper desktop PC in years. SD fulfilled all my expectations, never getting a desktop PC anymore!
- Halls of Torment
- Enjoyed Vampire Survivors on Xbox, enjoying this one
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Seems really "meh", so played only couple of hours.
Working my way through the first few Resident Evil games. Currently playing the second remake one.
High on Life, runs ok on medium to high settings locked at 30 FPS, definitely enjoyable
AC Odyssey
I’ve been playing a handful of games:
-
Demon’s Tilt: an excellent pinball game that runs great on the Deck. Also, the pixel art is very nice.
-
Hades: a great roguelike, finishing the last few side quests now.
-
Void Scrappers: a fun little survivors-like. Cheap and addictive.
-
Cassette Beasts: similar to Pokémon, if Pokémon had actually innovated in the last few years. Awesome mechanics, and all the battles are doubles matches.

Just started Elden Ring for the first time a few days back. First game I played where I was generally blown away how well it runs and looks for a handheld PC.
None. I got it so my partner could play video games on the couch with me while I'm smackin moblins in Hyrule.
