Quoting: PenglingMy Steam Deck, Super Bomberman R 2, and I will be over here in the lonely corner, as I've only played three out of the fifty games on this list, and almost none of the rest are my sort of thing.I have played only one of those fifty games in total...... On any device.........
I have forsaken our lord and savior Doritos Pope........
THE POWER OF DORITOS COMPELS ME!!!!.........

I have also played just one of those games--Slay the Spire. I would have played Vampire Survivors too except it wouldn't start. I'll try again one of these days.

I'm surprised Counter Strike 2 is even on there at all. From what I've seen, at best you're getting 40fps, and it doesn't seem like the type of game you'd want to compromise on when it comes to frame rate.
I contributed heavily to Elden Ring this year, though I've since moved on to Baldur's Gate 3, and that demanded I finally sort my home network out so I can stream it from my PC. Elden Ring is definitely playable natively, but it will be nice to go back to it at some point streaming it from my PC.

Note that Preview build has the fix for streaming right now, but the overlay still doesn't come up which is annoying.
Heck, everything streams nicely. FF7R looks great at 40fps but even better streamed at 1440p.

Quoting: PenglingNot everything is of interest to everyone, though.True..... The only thing on that list I have played in Stardew Valley......
I do own Half-Life 1....... Bought it back in a brick and mortar store decades ago..... But I bought it and installed it just to play TeamFortress Classic....... I have never actually played Half-Life.........
They are the only two on the list I own..... And I have only played one of them........

Wtf is Armoured Core? Never heard of this series before and suddenly it’s sixth iteration Is the most popular game.
Nice seeing those modern classics - Stardew, Dead Cells, Vampires are all still pulling in, but I’m always surprised Terraria doesn’t seem to make these lists anymore. It’s still great, infinitely replayable, awesome co-op, and still getting free updates.
And Risk of Rain Returns… I played the original to death, but I thought it would be unplayable on steam deck with its tiny sprites. This new version must do better zoom/scaling, but then do you see enough of the screen or is it way harder?

(looks out window) Yeah, I think it's stopped just now, but there's definitely Risk of Rain again today.

Armoured Core is action game involving robots that got its start back in the Playstation 1 days and it has it's fans even though they haven't released a new one in the last 10 years until now. From Software ended up making a lot of games like Elden Ring, Dark Souls 1-3 and Bloodbourne during that time this series was away.
As for this list of games, I only played Resident Evil 4 Remake and enjoyed it a lot while the rest didn't interest me that much.
