Top 20 Steam Deck games of September 2023, by hours played
Isn't there a bot for that?
I see no such bot comment. Do you?
Not what i said. I mean it in an isnt there a bot that could do that task automatically . Like the summary bot.
Sounds like something that needs a bot. Transcribing every meme you want to post and source is just asinine lol.
This is not a meme though…
Not really the point either is it? It's about technical ability, not what the image says.
It's impressive to me that games made by small teams or solo artists are going toe to toe with games made by the entire Western hemisphere. Stardew Valley is being played more than RDR2?
A graphically demanding game being high on this list is more impressive to me. BG3 looks like a claymation game on the deck, I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as high.
Slay the spire is too good.
I really want to enjoy games like Fallout or GTA on the Deck but compared to mouse/keyboard it's just really bad. I cannot understand how so many people like to play games like CoD or Battlefield on consoles.
I just had this horrific dream where my mouse input was functioning like a controller. I think it was PTSD from the days of aiming more with the characters movement than the joysticks.
Still dominated though. Headshots ftw
Aim assist
Baldur's Gate 3 is certainly a surprise. I tried it on my Steam Deck, and not only could I not figure out how to make the graphics look decent on my monitor, but I had a problem where the game would eventually stop accepting mouse input, forcing me to quit and relaunch. I didn't get far until I switched to the macOS version once it came out.
How are people playing that game on a Steam Deck?
It works fine for me, with a few small settings tweaks. I've probably logged ~70 of my ~310 playtime hours playing on Deck.
Of course it's mostly low settings, so it doesn't look as beautiful as it does running on my desktop via a 3080 at 1440p… but it looks good enough and runs well enough to be enjoyable on a handheld. I don't think I could enjoy an action-heavy game with the same performance, but for something turn-based that focuses more on the story, I'm having a blast.
That said, it sounds like that's the crux: I'm playing it in a portable fashion, on the Deck's screen directly, while it sounds like you're playing on an external monitor, with keyboard+mouse?
Yes; until D3DMetal came out, I was using my Steam Deck as a gaming PC, in order to play games not ported to macOS.
Average steam deck
I had no idea vampire survivor was such a hit. Feels like that would be a great handheld game.
It’s available on mobile apps stores I believe.
It runs fine in a browser for free as well.
Dave the Diver is such a gem
I played about 8 games in a row that I couldn't get into until I found this one. It is definitely enjoyable.
Crazy that Binding of Isaac is still in there, it's been years since the last release and it's not really in the public consciousness the same way something like Vampire Survivors is. Fantastic game though, happy to see it continue to succeed
I wish it would go on sale… ever. I’ve bought it multiple times across several platforms now, I really don’t want to spend $60 trying to get all the DLC on PC
Starfield ? How ?
It's just for one month
But how can a steamdeck run starfield ?
The benefit of a smaller screen is that you need less resolution to make it look half decent and with all the optimizing valve does with proton i imagine its quite playable. But the way graphics where implemented in star-field is shit and there are no excuses.
Keep in mind, theres a giant community behind yhe steamdeck, and if a game allows mods(especially bethesdas), theres always a modder who has a modlist for tweaks specifically for the deck.
I think it runs almost playably out of the box, so I would imagine it would work actually playably with a few mods, e.g. to adjust settings not accessible through graphics presets and to enable disk I/O cache.
It looks a bit🥔 and requires some ini file tweaking, but I can get get playable FPS out of it, 30-ish for the most part
On low, but pretty well.
upscaling algos
Good point
It's weird how the fromsoft games are the only ones in all caps.
Seems to be a Japanese thing. Several of em do that. Wish they wouldn't.
Famous from soft game DAVE THE DIVER
Wait starfield works on SD? I thought it was too slow. Has there been a new patch?
I actually went on vacation the day it released. I installed it on my deck to be able to play when at the hotel. I put 14 hours in starfield on my deck. It's PLAYABLE but not really ENJOYABLE. You have to turn it down to almost the lowest setting to play it reliably.
I played like 80 hours on steam deck. I don't think it's as optimized as Todd claims (RDR2 is much older and looks much better), but it plays alright.
No mods or anything, just settings tweaks.
I did not know you could play with a controller on PC. Is thist a steam customization for the deck ? (When I plug my xbox controller nothing happens in control settings or anywhere)
I honestly couldn't tell you how it works. Maybe check input settings in game? The game isn't verified on deck so I wouldn't think steam has done anything specific to make the controller work.
Glad to see I'm not the only with a spire habit that can't be kicked.
I want to rebuy it since it’s such a perfect Steam Deck game, but it’s hard to give up all my progression on Xbox!
Can't you copy the savegames?
I think only from PC Game Pass. I don’t have a Windows machine, although I guess I could dual boot the Steam Deck just to grab the files.
People really play this many games in a month? Even when I played a lot I mostly focused on very few games.

Ah, thank you.
