I got an OLED 1 TB for my birthday yesterday and I’m looking for titles I can download to play when I’m off shore on a ship. I like FPS games but am always looking for the next adventure. What do you suggest?

Edit- are there any Lemmy communities I should be checking out too? Aside from this one?

      Both of those games are at the top of their genres. They are fantastic games, and they do play great on the Deck.

    Deep Rock Galactic

    It’s an FPS, it plays great on the Deck, it supports simultaneous mouse and gamepad (so you can have faster/precise aiming but still use game controls), and it’s tons of fun.

    Get Heroic Launcher to add games from GoG, Epic, and Amazon Gaming (make sure to turn off Steam Runtime, Esync, and the anti-cheats in your settings; turn on per each game if you need them).

    And keep an eye on !freegamefindings@lemmit.online and !freegames@feddit.uk

    On top of all the great suggestions here I’d like to point out that the deck is a great emulation machine. Everything up to the ps2 era runs flawlessly but it can also do pretty well with Wii u, ps3 and Switch emulation too but performance will vary from title to title.

    It’s also a great fallback in case the deck gets unhappy about not having a network connection (YMMV but some people have pretty bad issues with this) and steam games won’t start. Non steam games work just fine regardless of whether or not you have an internet connection.

      Cannot second this recommendation enough. 90% of what I use my Deck for is playing old Nintendo games.

      You can use EmuDeck to add all of your ROMs to your library as if they were Steam games. It uses RetroArch, so you can also enable achievements for pretty much every game by logging into retroachievements.org

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise, if you’re familiar with modding you can make the games look even better. Try to play the first 3 games in chronological order before jumping into GAMMA or Anomaly. HBD btw!

      Thanks!

      I’m not at all familiar with modding,perhaps down the road.

    Portal 1 and 2. The spin off Aperture Desk Job is also an introductory game for the Steam Deck, explaining all the controls.

    Apart from that there should be a top games played on Steam Deck somewhere around here.

    When you start playing shooters on the Deck try to get comfortable with gyro aiming and maybe flick stick. Many games don’t have aim assist on the PC, so aiming with a stick is harder than on consoles.

    Fallout New Vegas is awesome, an FPS with RPG elements, that has brilliant humor and huge replayability

    Dishonored is a great game where you deal with stealth and magic super powers in a steampunk setting.

    The Outer Worlds is a short FPS with RPG elements, it is made by the people who made Fallout New Vegas and is set in a Sci-Fi future in space.

    Forza Horizon 4 is a lovely open world racing game set in a fictional UK.

    Forza Horizon 5 is the follow up to 4 and is set in Mexico, I find it more boring than 4

    Myst (2021), a remake of the classic adventure game from the early 90s, made by the original creator of Myst, Cyan.

    OpenRA, play the original Command & Conquer games Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert on modern computers with working online multiplayer for free.

      Is one long motherfucker of a title! They should’ve thought of something more concise

      Also, press return twice to leave a space between lines, btw
