Yup, I got into Vermintide early then too late. By the time I got back in 4 out of 5 matches was just people either speed running through the map or someone aimbotting the Gatling bow.
I'm holding off on Darktide for the same reasons as you. Hopefully we get that sweet spot soon.
For games that you can download and play right away on the Steam Deck
-Mass Effect Legendary Edition Remastered
-Dead Space
-Yakuza series
-Uncharted Trilogy
-Shadows of Mordor and Shadows of War
I would also recommend Max Payne 1-3, but that I know of the first one, at least, does need a bit finagling.
Also the Borderlands series, not sure if it can be played on Deck as is. 2 is a masterpiece though
I also would also not recommend anything Ubisoft right now with the whole deleting people's profiles and game libraries right now, even though Black Flag is one of my favorites. With all the other games and series everyone else is recommending, anything Ubisoft made can take a backseat for now imo.
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about
