I just got one so reading this makes me hopeful. Fallen out of love with gaming a bit in recent years

Check out “Dave the diver”. I’ve fallen out of love with gaming as well and I’ve been dropping a lot of hours into this game on my steam deck. Super unique and easy to pick up and put down. Feels fresh.

If you like platformers Bzzt just came out and would definitely run on the deck. For roguelikes I'd recommend Darkest Dungeon, Hades, or Rogue Legacy. For a straightforward RPG with 3D models but pixel art I'd recommend Octopath Traveller 2.

I also recommend Dave the Diver as well, fantastic game.

Also just ordered mine. Since I started working fulltime remote a year ago, I found myself not wanting to spend more time on my desk after work. That translated into me almost giving up gaming even though I used to love it. Moving to a place where I can have a second desk would cost me one Steam Deck per month so I just went with a Steam Deck lol

I got one recently too, and it’s already helping me with this. I hope you find joy in it :). I never buy myself anything so I was worried I’d regret it… but I really like it so far.

Omg same, but it's been a rough year so this is my Christmas gift to myself I guess. Also glad to hear it's helping you :)

It’s been great for getting to games I’m not sure I would have otherwise. Ori and the Blind Forest was the perfect game to play through on it!

I hope you have a better rest of the year and beyond. This year stank a bit for me too, but there’s been some good things as well.
