Here's the top Steam Deck games for March 2023

I'm now finishing Disco Elysium, really interesting game. And I really like the filter for games you didn't played yet, till I got Steam Deck that number is shrinking. :-)

Ye olde trusty Streets of Rogue.
I 100%ed the achievements AGES ago, but I've set myself the challenge of going through all of the classes completing their Big Quests, with no mutators to make life easier.
I've been stuck trying to complete a Blahd gangster run for yonks now, but I never tire of the game. The emergent situations still make me giggle, and just this week, despite hundreds of hours of play, I still discovered something new, in that EMP grenades can remove slave helmets.

I was also playing Patch Quest, which is a fantastic little rogue-lite. Don't be put off by the kid-friendly presentation; this is a highly-polished, deceptively deep game.
But even that couldn't keep me away from Streets of Rogue for long.

Not even Sifu can do that, which actually plays really well on the Deck now it's available through Steam.
Of course, I've lost all my skills since last playing it on Epic, but it's still a fantastic game.

Needless to say, I am really looking forward to Streets of Rogue 2.

DREDGE is love, DREDGE is life.

Red Dead Redemption2 is awesome on the steam deck, I am well into a full replay on the deck and have been loving it!

I should give a try in the deck... some years ago i try with a gamepad and don't like it. I was used to play it with mouse and keyboard

Trying to pull off a lazy bastard (manually craft less than 111 items) run of Factorio. To make it harder, I'm also attempting to play as a pacifist, so I'm keeping the pollution as low as possible so I don't attract biters, and avoiding any resources that are too close to enemy bases.

I got Sleeping Dogs on a whim because it was cheap and it quickly became my second-favourite GTA after San Andreas. Completed that. There's some jank at install time and the text is tiny, but it otherwise works well. Also completed Braveland that had been unplayed in my library for years. Got it in a bundle, maybe? Next up is either Syberia 2 or Broken Sword 5.

I've also played some No One Lives Forever, Kendria (controls stop working after time, so I stopped, but I'll probably go back to it at some point when they've fixed it), Ziggurat, Ori And The Blind Forest, The Gardens Between, Bridge Constructor Portal (controls on the default native version are broken, but Proton works OK), and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. The little one played some Lego Brick Tales but was on a computer ban for much of March.

Now we know why she didn't discourage you.

I'll just leave this here from your other thread in the forums, your conversation with one minor correction:

Me " Ya know I quite fancy one off these Steam decks to tinker with but doubt I'd use it enough."
Mrs " Well when your not using it I can to play with for you!"

I finally got around to playing Hollow Knight again (though the ending I really wanted was too hard :crying face:)

Just getting towards the end of Marvel Midnight Suns.

Recently, mostly Slay the Spire and Pokémon: Infinite Fusion, a fangame whose gimmick is that you can fuse any two Pokémon together to get a new one (it has "only" 420 Pokémon, but that still means ~176,000 possible fusions; all fusions have computer generated sprites by default, and there are already [tens of?] thousands of hand-drawn sprites with thousands more being added per month). It runs quite well on Proton, and I haven't had any crashes or instability.

There's some jank at install time and the text is tiny, but it otherwise works well.

Sleeping Dogs: DE or original? I've got the original version on Steam and the DE on GOG. The DE works after activating a virtual desktop without issues and the original apparently not.

I'm not sure what they were thinking with the text size. Not as crazy as F.E.A.R, but still horribly small even on desktop depending on your screen.

Definitive Edition. The install-time jank was that whatever hooks games usually have to seamlessly pull in the redistributables this game doesn't use, so it popped up a Windows-style window that needed the touchscreen to get rid of. After that it ran fine.
