Stardew Valley is a behemoth
- My wife and I are actually considering buying steam decks for both of us because the console port for the new update is taking forever.... Why didn't they have the steam deck in 2020 so we could have stayed on our PC saved instead of putting hundreds of hours into Switch saves
  
  Obviously it takes some effort, but if you have an original switch you can pull your save files off of it through jailbreaking tools. I've migrated most of my indie game saves over to my Deck.
  
  Are you me? I've been thinking of trading my Switch for one. Stardew is easily my most played game on it.
- Shit yeah it is. I'm nearing the end of my latest playthrough. I probably only have another 40 hours to go!
I bought hades 2 last week and already have almost 30 hours. Those games have the most satisfying difficulty curve. The first time you fight a boss it’s overwhelming and maybe even feels unfair, but smash cut 10 tries later where you’re nailing a no-hit and thinking “hey maybe this boss needs a buff actually”

And the presence of “god mode” means I can recommend it to literally anyone, regardless of how apt they are for ARPGs!
- And a new update today, including art for some placeholders!
  
  I encountered a certain npc with placeholder art without realizing it, and I just thought they were going for a really bold character arc.
  
  Then I saw a second one and it made a lot more sense lmao
- I bought Vampire Survivors two weeks ago and I have almost 40 hours, all on Steam Deck. It's the most fun I've had gaming in a long time. Simple gameplay loop with constant action and so many possible permutations of characters, stages, and power ups! I have ~ 2/3 of the unlocks and achievements so far.
  
  That was the first thing I played when I got my deck! My “recently played” at the time was all multiplayer FPS games and other shit that doesn’t play well with controllers. I figured “shit, at least I can get a feel for the device” and then blasted like 8 straight hours of it that first day hahahah
Binding of Isaac, woot!
- I'm surprised that's still in the most played games. Also Slay the Spire. They're top quality games and I still play them. Just surprised there's a long term wider audience.
  
  They're the first 2 thing I install on any device I get. Idk how I'm not tired of Isaac after starting right before Wotl dropped on the flash version.
- Amazing replayability
I love it how fallout came back in fashion. even new vegas on the top list
- It’s great the people who watch the show see how well they did satire.
- New Vegas is still the best one to replay these days IMO.
  
  I agree
Hades II tops the list so hard, it even brought the previous game up with it!
Skyrim still relevant 13 years later
- New Vegas is up there too, at 14 years later.
I don't see TF2
- I guess valve made a mistake.
I suggest to play Xonotic on Steam Deck
