[Discussion] What games are you playing on your Deck? - July 2025

Final Fantasy Tactics is pretty much all I have been playing on mine. I have been trying to get other emulators running so I can play the FFT from PSP and GBA, but so far no luck.
I did get a Bluetooth keyboard with track pad today, hopefully that makes installing stuff in desktop easier.
I have been playing Bitcraft on my MacBook, I am hoping with the keyboard I can play it on the Steam deck too.
Installing Retro deck was super straight forward for me and "just worked" with 90% of my games

Not sure if I tried that one, I have been playing via retro arch.

Haven't been touching my Steam profile a lot recently for games, but I've at least been doing some Gemcraft Frostborn Shadows.
Other than that, I actually got back into Sonic Lost Worlds on 3DS. As much as I hate the special stages, one single stage on an unmodded PC version of the game made me realize that movement sucks a little less on the 3DS version.
In other words, I don't endorse getting the Steam version of you have a 3DS unless you wanna mod it to make the movements less jank. Definitely not a good Sonic game, regardless of device, because of the movement like turning being atrocious.

Bitcraft looks really interesting. I'm tempted to give it a whirl on my MacBook, too.
They added experimental WASD controls yesterday.

I'm still waiting for it to be delivered, but I'm not sure if I want to break it in with No Man's Sky, or start installing EmuDeck. Honestly, I want to do "all the things" as soon as I get it into my hands, given the way people gush about it.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Be sure to take a moment to reboot into desktop, and search the built in Linux app store for free games. There's some absolute gems.
Edit: And after installing, right click the game on the desktop or menu, and choose "Add To Steam", to make it show up in the usual Steam interface.

Thanks for the tip! Didn’t even consider those games, despite having been a fervent Linux user at times.

I bought a handful of cheap / deep discount games during the Summer Sale this year.
One I wasn't sure about was BIOTA. Turns out it's been more fun than I expected for such a simplistic game.
I've also been playing Blasphemous. I really like Metroidvanias but these "souls like" style games are irritating to me. Still, it was cheap and I can appreciate the aesthetic.
I'm looking forward to having more time to play these games, as of yet, it's been like 20 minutes here, 30 minutes a few days later, so it's hard to make much progress and enjoy them with such limited time to dive in.

The loading screens tho
There is a bug in that it will only load a limited amount of assets per frame. If you reduce fps, then loading will be artificially limited in speed. Look for a mod that fixes this.

Dishonored runs quite well. I'm also playing God Hand with a PS2 emulator. What a ridiculous game.
