Weird question probably but here goes :

I’m discovering the joy of having a Dock, it’s great!

But what’s even better is I can just get my PC to stream more powerful games to my Deck (that the Deck would otherwise struggle with)

It works flawlessly (zero input delay, or rather not noticeable), better than Steam Link / Remote Play (I get input delay on this), and I haven’t tried Moonlight

It’s also so much more convenient than moving my PC to the living room (where the TV is) and plugging it there!

So I’m like wow Order of the Sinking Star is awesome, but what if I played games that my Deck sometimes has trouble with? Like I could run Witcher 3 Remastered with some better settings!

So I guess I’m not asking for great Steam Deck games, it’s more like, what are games that my PC could run that feel great on controller, that I would stream to my Docked Deck?

Thanks!!

    I don’t play much, but if I do I pretty much exclusively use the deck or a controller… I don’t think there are many games that don’t support controllers, so I guess you could just check your favourite ones and see if they work well?

    Games that I enjoyed on the couch more than on mobile or on the PC:

    • tetris connected. It’s tetris, all right, but with lights and sound! Works so much better on a large screen and a sound sound system.
    • redout (2). It’s a fast antigrav racer, bit like wip3out. Music of the first and sind effects and graphics of the second just work better in a home theater. Two stick controls are awesome.
    • hellblade, if you have a surround sound system.

    Apart from that, there are the usual suspects: 3rd person console ports (horizon, Batman etc) or couch coop games if you have some friends over (Bumerang fu, lovers in a dangerous space time etc).
