    I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest and it was a lot of fun. Really well done game in my opinion. Similar to Hollow Knight, if you’ve played that.

    If you haven’t played Hollow Knight, play Hollow Knight.

      Here’s hoping you move on to Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It’s one of my favorite of all time.

      Is there a tutorial you can recommend? Not long after it came out I managed to get it running, but only in desktop mode, and input wasn’t working at all.

        You could try steam rom manager. It allows you to add your roms and/or emulators to your steam list from one app. It comes with emudeck but I think you can get it separately if you don’t want to use the rest of emudeck features.

    All the buzz around Diablo 4 got me thinking about my favorite aRPG, Titan Quest, which led me to Grim Dawn, which I have been having a great time playing through for the first time on my Deck.

      I have not been able to stop playing D4, but Grim Dawn plays absolutely perfectly on the Deck, one of the games I would recommend the most.

        I’ve been having a blast with it on the deck! Some navigation issues in the UI is really the only complaint I had, and that was easy enough to fix with remapping.

        Excellent game and I can’t believe I haven’t played it until now.

      Just beat the giant squid last night! I’m a little unsure what some of the mechanics mean still , but great game!

    Fallout 4. Its the first game I thought of when the Deck was announced and hoped it would be playable. I haven’t been disappointed after 8 hrs on my Deck.

      I bought it a week ago and had buggy dialogue, soft locks, etc. in the house and at the gate to the vault. It was insanely broken. A fresh reinstall did nothing. Ended up refunding and buying Fallout 3, which has been fun so far. No clue why 4 was just busted for me.

    Dave the Diver. It’s not only the perfect Steam Deck game, it’s contender for indie game of the year. There’s just so much content and it’s all so good!

    Been using Yuzu to emulate Tears of The Kingdom. Works so well for the handheld platform.

    (For legal reasons this is definitely not actually true please don’t sue me daddy Nintendo)

        It took a lot of tinkering, ngl. So far, I’ve gotten it to run at a pretty consistent 30fps with a bit of slowdown when going into areas for the first time due to shader compilation. Of course, big towns and such shows a bit of a slowdown as well, but nothing game breaking. I’m about a third or more through the main story all played on the Deck. Here’s a list of things I’ve done to get it playable:

        • Installed Yuzu via EmuDeck. For whatever reason, I couldn’t even launch the game using the standard flatpak version/package version.
        • Dynamic 30fps Patch. I tried the 60fps version, but since the game never gets much above 30, I went with the 30fps version since it was noticeably smoother.
        • Ran CryoUtilities and let it do its optimizations (increasing vram actually makes the game run worse due to there being less ram. This game/emulator is very memory hungry it seems so skip that one.)
        • I use the PowerTools plugin from Decky to set the hardware scheduler to performance mode. I’ve also played around with increasing minimum CPU clock speeds, but I can’t seem to make a difference with those. There were some rumors about disabling the “Odd Number” core option that helped performance, but I didn’t notice a difference with the current EA build of Yuzu. that turned out to be true.
        • Using the normal Power Options, force the GPU clock speed to max (1600).
        • Running EA Yuzu in Vulkan mode I’m not sure if this makes a difference, but I sourced the game from a specific girl who claims to be fit and likes to repackage things.

        A quick note : I’m also running Release 1.0 since whenever I try to upgrade to 1.1, I get an infinite black loading screen. I think this has to do with where I got the 1.0 release from, but I’m not sure. Supposedly, 1.1 has some bug fixes and performance fixes as well, but I’m too far into the game to worry about getting it working at this point.

        All of this is purely hypothetical, though, obviously.
