Steam Deck is changing the way people play games on the go. Or at least the way people play from the comfort of the toilet seat. Yes, we’ve had the Nintendo Switch for years, but that console is starting to show signs of age and people are looking for the next big thing. Hence, the steam deck.
Right now, there are over 2,000 games that have been awarded the “Great on Deck” badge, and that’s a long list of games to work on. Of course, many of these have been ported to other systems, including mobile, so we’ve tried to narrow this list down to games that you can’t easily play on the go anywhere else, or that you’ll play better here than on other devices. laptops.
Remember, Steam Deck is essentially a Windows PC, so just about any game has the potential to run as long as you make the necessary adjustments in settings. If making those adjustments isn’t fun for you, consider sticking to the games on this list.
apex legends
apex legends It might just be the best battle royale shooter on the market, and it turns out it’s free to play. What more can you ask for, really? apex legends it’s a fantastic shooter, and the constant rotation of additional maps, weapons, and game modes keep the experience fresh every time you log in. go play this game on the go.
elden ring
Does this game need an introduction right now? we have written about elden ring extensively, and unless something major shakes up the latter part of this year in terms of game releases, then elden ring is the best game of 2022. And if you want to play it on the go, you can do it on the Steam Deck, with a couple of sacrifices.
Lost
It is the game of the cat, and one of the only games to challenge elden ringThe game title of the year of 2022. Lost is a short and simple puzzle platformer that doesn’t require intense or precise input, just a simple exploration game where you find items and chat with NPCs to find your way forward. Oh, and it’s super cute, and that helps a lot.
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Resident Evil 2 Remake could be one of the best demonic resident games never. Yes, the original was amazing, but this faithful and beautiful remake brings those familiar environments and enemies into the present day. It looks amazing and honestly plays just as well. Easily one of the best games you can play on any system.
God of War
Kratos’ story stops being so angry and yelling, and suddenly, he’s a caring father. Or try to be, at least. God of War (2018) completely changes the character of Kratos. He is getting old and now he tries to be a kind of family man and pass on his knowledge and skills to the next generation. If you want to see Kratos in a new light, this is the place to do it.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
Do you want to feel like Spider-Man? Well, adolescent awkwardness and undefined body mutations aside, I’m sure it is. Y Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, which is finally available on PC now, is the best way to go. You can move through the streets of the city as Peter Parker and defeat a group of classic Marvel villains in the course of the juicy adventure. But all of that really is secondary to that movement system. Swinging has never felt so good.
split gate
I like it aura, but do you want a little more excitement? then you need split gate. split gate really takes the old Halo combat formula, but adds portals, like the ones in the game Portal. You can use these portals to target and knock down enemies, which means you can create new lines of sight pretty much anywhere and travel through them to surprise enemies. It’s excellent.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Solid Metal V Gear includes a story that is completely unfinished, and the bonus DVD included with the game’s Special Edition basically confirms that, even if the game manages to rack up the credits three different times. However, despite that, it makes this list, and that’s because it has the stealth action gameplay of a true masterpiece, and no other game comes close to it. It’s worth playing, but don’t expect those expensive cutscenes to get you anywhere.
Death Stranding Director’s Cut
Another Hideo Kojima game, and one that is coming to pc game pass, death stranding is a new take on the stealth action genre, one where you’ll be hiding from nearly invisible demons, and the action you’ll encounter will be the terrain itself, and you’ll cross it. Uniting the last remnants of a devastated and deserted United States is hard work, and only Sam Porter Bridges can do it. Literally, it’s like fate or something.
Valheim
Valheim is a survival crafting game where you play as vikings and explore a strange new world filled with low poly fantasy creatures. Taking them all down rewards you with new recipes and materials, with which you can create the ultimate fortress. That’s the point of the game in Valheim, keep exploring and building until you can create the ultimate base.
