Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the April 2024, sorted by playtime
Toribor ( @Toribor@corndog.social ) English10•2 months agoThis is only because they exclude me as an outlier putting in ten thousand hours of Project Zomboid on the Deck.
undeffeined ( @undeffeined@lemmy.ml ) 1•2 months agoDo you really have 10000 hours playing PZ on the deck or just overall playing the game? I mean, the deck came out two years ago, seems highly unlikely you put all those hours on the deck specifically.
Toribor ( @Toribor@corndog.social ) English5•2 months agoI’m exaggerating for comedic effect. I have ~300 hours in PZ all on the Steam Deck. Not the game I was expecting to play on it but it works pretty well.
undeffeined ( @undeffeined@lemmy.ml ) 2•2 months agoYeah, from what I played of it back in the day it does not strike me as deck friendly but good to know it works well on the deck
Toribor ( @Toribor@corndog.social ) English1•2 months agoIt’s still a little clunky with a controller but the touch screen really helps to fill in the gaps. I also map the paddle buttons to zoom in and out since that’s really important.
It wouldn’t take much to make it much more controller friendly. Maybe another ten years of development time. 😀
I_am_10_squirrels ( @I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org ) 1•2 months agoIf you only sleep 8 hours a day, you could get 10,000 hours in a year. That doesn’t account for working, bathing, or other tasks that may interfere with Precious.
undeffeined ( @undeffeined@lemmy.ml ) 3•2 months agoNo, you can’t. A year has 8760 hours
I_am_10_squirrels ( @I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org ) 1•2 months agoYeah, that should have said two years.
(24-8)*365 = 5840
FilterItOut ( @FilterItOut@thelemmy.club ) 9•2 months agoHades and Isaac are surprising. They’re both old enough that I would have thought they wouldn’t be flush with players right now. The fallout stuff makes sense, given its fanbase and the show’s influence. I wonder if I should go back and try to 100% either of them now…
GnomeBro ( @GnomeBro@lemmy.today ) 4•2 months agoIsaac was the first game downloaded on my deck and is still a daily comfort game.
SagXD ( @sag@lemm.ee ) 9•2 months agoBalatro is a legal drugs.
Amanduh ( @Amanduh@lemm.ee ) 3•2 months agoI got Balatro but I didn’t get the hype, can you offer some advice on how to enjoy it?
Edit: from the replies I have gathered I just nerd to play it more, thanks all!
SagXD ( @sag@lemm.ee ) 5•2 months agoIt’s kinda complicated I also didn’t get it at first playthorugh. But more I play more I get hooked.
Chris :steamdeck2: ( @Furty@mstdn.games ) 2•2 months ago@Amanduh I bounced off of Balatro the first few times I tried it too. I was a little confused about what I was doing and what my end goal was. I’m honest;y not sure what clicked, but I’ve been hooked ever since.
Domiku ( @Domiku@beehaw.org ) English6•2 months agoI’m surprised by Helldivers. I can’t imagine that it runs very well.
skulblaka ( @skulblaka@startrek.website ) 9•2 months agoRed Dead Redemption 2 has been on this list since the release of the steam deck because the 3 people still trying to play that game on the deck haven’t finished loading the world yet
yuri ( @yuri@pawb.social ) 4•2 months agoThat one really surprised me, does it have something like a render scale slider? Unless there’s a baked-in way to achieve ultra potato graphics, I just can’t imagine it’s playable.
But shit man, the numbers are right there! There’s gotta be something to it. Maybe people are just putting up with ~20fps averages or some shit.
Domiku ( @Domiku@beehaw.org ) English2•2 months agoI definitely put up with shit graphics and potato framerate for Baldur’s Gate 3
yuri ( @yuri@pawb.social ) 2•2 months agoMan I’d render at fucken 800x600 if it got me like a solid 50 fps
chemslayer ( @chemslayer@lemm.ee ) 1•2 months agoIt runs great! Granted I turned all the graphics to minimum, but the game still looks good and runs great. Only problem is if there’s just an absurd amount of particle effects it can get a little frame-y, but I play at the second-highest difficulty (so lots of enemies) and frames only happen every 20 matches or so at most

JackGreenEarth ( @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ) English4•2 months agoI don’t have a Steam Deck, but those are just famous games regardless. For example, I play TW3 and SDV.
Dizzy Devil Ducky ( @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ) English4•2 months agoDefinitely gonna have to install NV on my deck that finally arrived yesterday and see how good it is on deck… even though I am still nowhere near done with my melee build on my desktop and will need to copy all my bug fixing mods and settings from there as well.
Maybe I’ll do an unarmed build where I side with Yes Man while taking out as many factions as possible.
5714 ( @5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•2 months agoNever played FNV before and just killed Vulpes Inculta in Nipton and the game got so hard after this. I wouldn’t have played FNV if it wasn’'t for the Steam Deck, but it’s great so far.
MXX53 ( @MXX53@programming.dev ) 1•2 months agoNV is great on the deck! I started up a fresh file a year ago on the deck as a psycho addicted knife wielding charismatic serial killer. Probably my favorite fallout.
5714 ( @5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•2 months agoOk, what am I doing wrong that Fallout 3 isn’t working? It just crashes on start.
Fl1ppyR34 ( @Fl1ppyR34@ani.social ) 5•2 months agoHonestly, if you own new Vegas have a look at tale of two wastelands. It ports over all of fallout 3 into the new Vegas engine, and with it brings all the upgrades that the nv engine has, like stability (after installing the 20 or so mods needed), iron sights, and all the increased mod support fnv has.
shinratdr ( @shinratdr@lemmy.ca ) 2•2 months agoWhen I got the Steam Deck I had to install and set up FNV. Once I did that, F3 would work. I would have assumed they had fixed that since then but maybe not? Worth a try.
It seemed to be because the pre-launch scripts weren’t executing. Installing the other game ran similar scripts which fixed it somehow.
5714 ( @5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•2 months agoFNV worked OOTB.
averyminya ( @averyminya@beehaw.org ) 1•2 months agoThey are saying that once Fallout New Vegas was installed FO3 also installed fine
thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) 1•2 months agoMaybe you find some hints here: https://www.protondb.com/app/22300?device=steamDeck (Fallout 3 user reports for Steam Deck) or https://www.protondb.com/app/22370?device=steamDeck (Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition user reports for Steam Deck)
Chemical Wonka ( @chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de ) English2•2 months agoUnfortunately Facepunch don’t offer a proper support for Rust on Linux mainly because EAC
SrTobi ( @SrTobi@feddit.de ) 1•2 months agoSilksong when?
Owl ( @BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz ) 1•2 months agoFallout 4 in second position? Did I miss something ?
rockhandle ( @rockhandle@lemm.ee ) 2•2 months agoFallout tv show & next gen update ig
Lipriv30 ( @Lipriv30@lemmy.ml ) 1•2 months agoIt’s the same games for the most part.
listless ( @listless@lemmy.cringecollective.io ) English1•2 months agoCan you link to the data / source?
