    PalWorld being number 2 is pretty impressive considering it only came out on the 19th. I suppose the huge number of players would make up for the relatively limited time.

          What I mean is no one talks about Hogwarts Legacy anymore. People talk about Assassin’s Creed, God of War, old Mario Games, Even older Harry Potter games but Hogwarts legacy I don’t see popping up on conversation anymore

            Thats an interesting observation. I love the game and plan on starting a new playtrough this summer but you made me wonder and i cant really pinpoint annything I would talk about.

            Maybe the different is that the game is an addition to a fandom rather then being the fandom. There plenty stuff to talk wizarding world. The game is more about experiencing and immersing the total rather then zooming in on its individual components.

            In comparison though, it was basically one and done. Assassin’s Creed is a fairly long running franchise, God of War and Mario too technically, paired with bits of nostalgia. Palworld can always improve and still get attention past the first month.

        Yeah, but Hogwarts legacy was kind of bad gameplay and story wise, wasn’t it?

            Combat was extremely repetitive and very easy even at the hardest difficulty.

          The story was alright but pretty forgettable. The combat was kinda fun although maybe repetitive if you just fall into using the same combos all the time.

          It’s the set design that I find really good. The castle is large and filled with all kinds of little details.

          To me it feels like the kinda game that would benefit from having a modding community that can add more stuff to do.

      It is quite long game, and only second game ever to break 2M concurrent players on steam

    I’m glad to see Dave the Diver up there. It’s been my comfort food for a few weeks now, and it’s easy to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time. Perfect for the Deck imo.

      It really is a fantastic game. It’s simple while still being complex. It has a great progression and fun gameplay loop. None of my friends have heard of it, outside of me saying how great it is. Makes me happy to see it’s doing well.

    I’m amazed at the strong showing for older games like Stardew (which has an update coming soon) and Isaac. I mean, they’re timeless games, just fun to see people still really into them!

    I’ve been playing the first Like a Dragon, which is as much melodramatic and zany fun as any of the Yakuza games. I was very hesitant about the turn-based battle system, but it works really well and still feels like Yakuza.

    Also been working on a second run of Grime, the metroidvania, which also had a big final update this week. It’s very fun and ranks high among MVs for me, but it’s also pretty hard and requires a nearly Seikiro-like mastery of defense timings.

      I also fixed a weird SteamDeck issue this week. Maybe others will run into it. My deck started going super slow, and having trouble booting. I even tried a factory reset to no avail and was getting ready to warranty it, when I thought to try one last trick.

      Apparently going into the system setup menu (hold Volume + while turning it on) and turning on long term battery storage mode, then turning it off again (by booting up with the power cord in) somehow fixes this issue. So i did that, and it worked!

      I’m mystified as to what random setting got flipped that this corrects, but I’m happy it worked.

        I had the same issue ages ago with the same fix. I’m curious what setting is getting stuck and why it hasn’t been addressed in over a year.

        A really good remaster. Let’s you toggle between that and the original view seamlessly. The game itself is a funny point and click puzzle game with a decent story

          I’ve beaten every Monkey Island game except for Curse. Something about the art style is really off-putting for me, so I could never get into it. I might have to give it another shot, especially since I just finished Return to Monkey Island a couple weeks ago and have an itching for more.

      Firewatch on your list was awesome. Really enjoyed it.

      Never heard of the second last game.

      V6 and Super meat boy are such a legendary games. Enjoy! For other platformers I’d suggest Owlboy, DuckTales, Hollow Knight, Celeste and Rogue legacies when you have time or haven’t played them yet.

    I see Diablo 4 is still on the list. I haven’t played since season 1. I bought it from blizzard but I’m on Linux now so I was thinking about getting it on steam. Is there any way to get around buying it again in the steam store? I imagine I’d still have to connect my old account.

    Sorry guys that a Binding of Isaac placement is definitely me. I decided to finally beat all the bosses with every character and probably spent the whole month playing that game to do so.

    How are y’all getting BG3 to be tolerable on the deck? I’ve tried a few suggested settings but it always feels really bad :(

    Palworld is so fucking addictive. Especially when you have a dedicated server with several friends in a guild all working together to hatch Uber monsters. Fun as fuck.

    Stardew Valley is creeping up on being my most played Steam game of all time. Entirely on Deck. I am starting to loathe it a bit now though. I’m very late game, and it’s super grindy. It’s just so chill though, I have trouble putting it down. I love me some brain rattling difficult Souls games, but Stardew Valley just lets me completely zone out. I also get something close to seven hours of battery with it unlike anything demanding that kills it in 2 or 3.

    I wonder how Warframe is on it. Not really an oldschool shooter, but still got me to use M+KB over a controller.

      I’ve played something like 800 hours on the Nintendo switch, it was fine except for some of the lock puzzles which are way easier on mouse.

      You gotta use motion controls though (well depending on the frame I guess)

          For sniping, mostly. Not sure if eidolons are the same as before, but it’s really hard to aim at the joints using joysticks without motion controllers

      Edit: cross save went life so I’m playing with all the stuff I collected on the ps4

    How does Hogwarts Legacy run on the Steam Deck? With a GTX 2060 and FX-8350 I am unable to get good frame rates, even on the lowest settings
