Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down? (beehaw.org)

Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to the device.

I’m trying to reinvigorate my old, nostalgic love of gaming and hoping to find the perfect Steam Deck + addicting game combo.

I installed 1,000 old game ROMs for NES, SNES, Sega Genesis/Master System, N64, and PS1. I’ve been reliving all of my childhood games since I got it. Road Rash on the PS1 was one I never played (and forgot existed) until my wife told me about it. What a blast.

Snes games rock. They hold up really well in gameplay and artwork, and finished ones I never played before on the Deck.

Same. Emu station has to be my most played app.

Just curious, did you get the Deck just for that? I think you can run all of those on like the Retroid Pocket, which is like 1/4 the price of the deck?

Oh, no haha. It was just nice to have them as categories in the Steam app alongside my 250+ PC games.

Nothing beats a whole library on its own on an SD card. Except multiple >:)
