I’m seeing many bugs on the steamdeck with bg3. It’s perfectly fine working, it’s mostly software bugs. Some were funny ( teleporting chars) but the latest one stopped my progression. Share trials, one of the orbs to continue…just doesn’t appear. I’ll have to get the game working on another machine in order to fix, but it sucks. I have over 60 hours in the game.
I miss my Deck so much, it’s the pinnacle of gaming technology. It went missing about a month ago, as if it disappeared off the face of the Earth. Turned my house upside-down methodically looking through every room and nothing. Never would’ve taken it out of the house without the case, it’s just gone, vanished. Waiting to see what happens with taxes before deciding if I want to buy a new one, assuming I get a refund.
I de-cased a samsung smart tag (basically an airtag) and stuck it in my deck so now I can ping it or track it if I ever lose it. Maybe consider something similar if you buy a new deck.
Already did, got an Airtag and have a stickie case for it I’ll be putting on to it should I ever find it again or get a new one. It never came up before because the Deck was only ever in two or three locations and I live with wife & kids, so it wasn’t a roommate who took it (unless somebody broke in without a trace and only stole that one thing). Kids would’ve left it somewhere in plain sight on the floor or somewhere stupid. Smaller things they can lose, but something that big is hard to lose.
I’m a multi-platform gamer and I guess I’m just the exception. I’m struggling to find reasons to turn the deck on and even keep it charged.
I’m not averse to Steam games. I picked up En Garde which was a fun little title for as long as it lasted (which wasn’t long).
I picked up Cursed to Golf because I thought it looked fun… and it’s not really. :(
I’m looking forward to that cat game if it ever comes out, but that looks like one better on consoles.

Baldur’s Gate 3 - Better played on my 65" television through the PS5.
Vampire Survivors - I played the hell out of this… when it was called “Robotron 2084” in 1982, with better graphics. Alternately when it was a free, hidden game called Geometry Wars packed in with Project Gotham Racing 2 in 2003, also with better graphics.
I guess my major complaint is the graphics. I don’t suppose it can be re-skinned or anything?
Dave the Diver - Not really interested in indie games or sim games.
Hogwarts Legacy - Platinumed on PS5, GREAT game.
Elden Ring - Not masochistic enough for Souls games.
Palworld - Would literally rather open my wrists.
Cyberpunk 2077 - Again, 65" television, this one through the Xbox Series X.
Grand Theft Auto 5 - Never really been interested in the GTA games. 4 was OK, I guess.
Stardew Valley - Sim game. Meh.
Red Dead Redemption - Loved this game… in 2010… 2 never clicked for me. It was slow and the controls were super janky.
Respectfully, it sounds like you may be the exception.
Sounds like you already own all the consoles that a steam deck can emulate/replace. I’m on the other side of the spectrum where the deck allows me to experience a console life, with my pc library. Never owned a ps5, or Xbox or any of that, so a Steam deck offers me the experience of couch gaming, TV gaming, or mt favorite, sit in bed all day an watch TV on my deck!
The steam deck isn’t really meant to replace your home consoles. I personally use mine when I travel or know it’ll be slow at work, or when I just can’t be assed to get out of bed.
It was very handy when I tore my achilles tendon, being able to remote play the PS5 and Xbox.
if it does interest you, there is geometry survivor inspired by geometry wars
Ooh! I’ll look that up!
