What game in your Steam Library would blow your mind on Steam Deck?

[Shinobido Heart]

Yeah, it's another Steam Deck thread, but I don't think anyone's asked something like this so hopefully this thread is ok. If not, my apologies ahead of time.

Your Steam Library is about to go portable! My Steam Library is modest at best, I don't have many "AAA" games or highly graphical games but people around here might have a game I don't have that would be pretty impressive to play in a portable setting.

As such, I'm always looking to expand my library of games. There are thousands of games out there, so think back to the past or present, what's a game that would blow your mind on the Steam Deck?

 

[Atom Heart Mother]

garry's mod i can finally play DarkRP on the go and RDM people

 

[Maximus2560]

CRYSIS

 

[MisterAnderson]

I'm curious to see how Doom Eternal compares to the Switch port.

 

[Slayven]

Raft and all my 4x games

 

[Dest]

Huniepop

 

[Wrexis]

Various MMOs like WoW, FFXI or FFXIV.

 

[Ibuki]

The entire Half-Life series (barring Alyx) on a portable.

 

[Deleted member 11008]

Running Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro at 60 fps would be quite impressive for a handheld PC. Yesterday I was thinking Elden Rig wouldn't be able to run at 60 fps, but now I'm not sure.

 

[Tagyhag]

Hearts of Iron 4, I could see it looking very cool.

 

[nsilvias]

dmc 5. finally a portable dmc after dmc psp was canceled

 

[Sargerus]

Yakuza

 

[Protoman200X]

Really, I'm interested to see how these games, which were designed with a larger monitor in mind, will work on a 7 inch screen. Especially if the UI elements are not adjusted with a smaller form factor, such as an RTS.

 

[Tobor]

GTA IV, GTA V, No Man's Sky. On a handheld.

Also, the Truck Simulator games.

 

[brain_stew]

Having the full-fat 60fps Half Life 2 and Halo 3 experience on a handheld has always been the dream. We'll now be able to play every Half Life (apart from Alyx) and Halo game at 60fps on a handheld.

Halo: Infinite on a handheld at release.

 

[InspectorJones]

My number 1 favorite game that I have nearly 1,000 hours in after 10 years.

Fallout New Vegas....with Mods!


The other two I see myself playing a ton are Xcom 2 and Civ 6 (Even though I do have Civ on Switch) as those are games I can't stop playing on PC.

Replaying all the Valve games portably just seems like a no brainer too.

THIS

 

[Lant_War]

Portable 60FPS Sonic Generations.

I'm curious to see how Doom Eternal compares to the Switch port.

They showed footage of it at 60FPS, so I'd presume better.

 

[Sei]

Look forward to playing some Divinity I and II, maybe some other PC RPGs.

I can't do RPGs on desktop anymore, I get bored. But I feel like relaxing back with a handheld might get me back into them.

 

[cardboardboxer]

Counter Strike GO

720p/60fps is basically a given. The Series S runs the game at 1080p/120fps and 1440p/60fps and a quarter of the Series S performance is the bottom end performance estimate of the machine (I.e. power limited to the lowest clock speeds).

Compare that to the ~480p Switch version with cut back settings and an uneven 30fps and it's going to be complete night and day. A perfect visual demonstration of the sheer technical leap forward.

 

[Possum Armada]

Fallout 3, NV, and 4.

I love the games and have wanted handheld ports for some time.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

Portable Devil May Cry 5.

Also other Capcom games, Yakuza , ZOE 2, Death Stranding, etc... will be nice.



Elden Ring will be sweet come January as well.

 

[Virtua King]

Sonic Generations Yakuza, Halo, DMCV, Nioh, Nier: Automata, and GTAV.

 

[kurahador]

Playing PSO2 on a handheld would be great.

 

[ragolliangatan]

Fallout 4, Stalker, Cyberpunk, Nier games

 

[Starwing]

Assuming the servers will survive by then, Titanfall 2.

 

[Deleted member 17990]

Red Dead 2

If my old Ryzen 2400G setup at 720p is any indication, it's probably much much better on a Steam Deck.

Running Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro at 60 fps would be quite impressive for a handheld PC. Yesterday I was thinking Elden Rig wouldn't be able to run at 60 fps, but now I'm not sure.

I never bought Dark Souls Remaster on Switch so I never experienced playing a portable Dark Souls...but Sekiro portable?

 

[CannonFodder52]

Yakuza

[DanteMenethil]

Persona 4 Golden so I can pretend I'm back in the vita days

 

[hanshen]

I can't wait to play baldur's gate 3 on Deck next year when the full version releases.

 

[Jake]

Trails in the Sky, Tales of series and a bunch of visual novels

 

[Necrokey]

WoW with consoleport and a few add ons, they added the action camera back in legion and i wanna put it to use.

 

[Teamocil]

It's not necessarily mind blowing but I was waiting for the switch port of disco Elysium. I'm just gonna buy it on steam now and that feels great lol

 

[Quinton]

I only own three games -- the Trails in the Sky trilogy.

Playing these on a console is going to make my bloody week.

 

[Arsene no Kiseki]

Elden Ring because its GONNA be in my steam library when it goes up for preorder.

As for games right now, probably Trails in the Sky The 3rd

 

[Deleted member 11008]

I would worry to break the Steam Deck playing Sekiro lmao but in "tabletop" mode would be safer and still amazing.

 

[Maximo]

I'm curious to see how Doom Eternal compares to the Switch port.

Click to shrink...

Probably a decent amount better, Doom and Doom Eternal play really well on low spec PCs

Pretty sure it was running at 60fps in the reveal video on twitter.

 

[LazyLain]

Genital Jousting on the go? Hell yeah.

 

[Rosebud]

Prey 2006.

 

[Something Creative]

Kinda hate that I own RDR2 and Disco Elysium on EGS now. Saved a lot of money, but this makes a good case for just going pure Steam if I really like the Deck.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I'm curious to see how Doom Eternal compares to the Switch port.

Click to shrink...

long story short, there would be no comparison.

 

[J75]

The Yakuza games would be amazing. If it can handle the Dragon Engine games decently, that would make it a cop for me.

 

[Nzyme32]

Nothing mind blowing, but a collection of games I'll be thrilled to play/replay:

Dyson Sphere Program, Sekiro, OG Deus Ex, Baldurs Gate 3, Total War Warhammer 2, Xcom 2, Death Stranding, Crusader Kings 3, Stellaris, Euro Truck, Stalker, OG Fallout, Planescape Torment, Pillars of Eternity, HL games, Antichamber, Jedi Fallen Order, Disco Elysium, Wildermyth, KOTOR 1 and 2, Hades, Skyrim (lol still not played), Fallout NV..... and....... Silksong

 

[Winnie]

Flight Sim, and for what i have seen it's runs incredible right now on a GPD Win 3. In the Steam Deck it's going to be unbeliable.

And obviously Elden Ring, god damn this thing is going to be amazing!

Edit: Add to that mix Forza Horizon 5. The 4 runs at 30fps ultra on a GPD Win 3.

 

[HamSandwich]

KOTOR 1 and 2 and Republic Commando are first that come to mind that I will play on this thing.

 

[Shizuka]

Any visual novel that hasn't been ported to consoles yet.
