I lost a lot of time over the last few years to Northgard.
It’s a lot of fun, and a bit different to other RTS / 4X games.
Worth a look

Total Annihilation
Starcraft
Any of the many C&C sequels and remasters (I still play Red Alert skirmishes regularly)

EU4 is great, very easy to sink hours and hours into and still not understand half the game
-
• #28755
Thanks all, lots to look at. Just got to not download civ again and try something new.
-
• #28756
RTS like C&C or turn based?

on the other hand I'll probably be moaning I got it
the more I sit here waiting for it the more I realise I don't need it and will probably barely use it. I wasn't even interested in the deck before youtube recommended me the OLED announcement video just as it happened...what an impulse buy that was
anyway I'll have 14 days to decide if I want to keep it

Similar story here. All the vids screaming OLED!!! had me clicking to see if there were price drops on the LCD.
Took me a couple days to go for the 512 LCD. Decided that was the spendiest I wanted to get.

D4 free to try for a week on Steam. Seems the perfect opportunity to run through the story and then bounce.NM capped to level 20 so pretty worthless

This is the best news ever! I tried so hard to get into it and couldnt. But hearing this makes me feel better!
Thank you

I got to the final guy who I assume was a big baddie, end of game fight type thing. I'd put enough points into persuasion that he just agreed that it was better that I have the final artefact and gave me it to me without a fight!
Then that was it. I've played the Mass Effect games all the way through half a dozen times over the years, I was hoping that this would be similar but I've no interest in going back to it at all.

I've no interest in going back to it at all.
Repetition is supposed to be the point, from what I'd heard. They took the core idea from No Man's Sky (which NMS mostly abandoned) and doubled down on it, essentially making it a game where successive NG+ replays is the main story loop.

I've been playing Starfield on and off just as a mindless space trucking sim. Every mission seems to be a fetch quest.
-
• #28764
There's also no trucking, because the only way to get around space is fast travel.
One of my constant annoyances was that a mission's details in the log would only tell you to 'talk to someone', without any indication where they were. Therefore the only way to accomplish the objective is to set a waypoint and fast-travel to it. Once landed, you likely still had no idea where to go and simply had to follow the path marker. Found it utterly monotonous.

Got my Steam Deck. So far not really impressed.
Didn’t help that Emudeck went and did all the wrong things. Also didn’t help that a fucking megahandheld can’t play legit copies of Metal Slug X or Sonic 4 from its own store.
-

Every mission seems to be a fetch quest.
Yeah. Many large scale games these days are mostly fetch quests as a mechanism to make you explore maps.
You know what you find when you are there? The place where the fetch quests are.
-
• #28769
What games have you tried on it? Does metal slug X not work? Just cause it's listed as verified for steam deck in the store.

Playing tony hawks pro skater remaster on steam deck feels glorious and right.
-
• #28771
Are we aware of any plans to remaster any of the later THPS titles? Playing 1/2 has given me proper nostalgia for some of the levels in the later games.
-
• #28772
According to this, no: https://www.ign.com/articles/tony-hawk-confirms-plans-for-pro-skater-3-4-remake-were-abandoned-after-blizzard-merger
But I still have hope.
-
• #28773
Bah! But also - thanks for sharing.
-
• #28774
I'd love a remaster THPS 3+4, and THUGs and THAW
Fuck it, do them all (skip 5 though)

I mean… it runs, but badly. Super choppy and not in the normal way.
Metal Slug always has the classic slowdown when playing. This version on Steam Deck has significant frame drop that makes it unplayable from the start.
Every 10 seconds it drops and stutters. Online others complain the same.
Loading Emudeck and running a rom has no issues, but that loses all the console’d bits.
I love this one: https://play0ad.com/ . It is open-source and free!
There are cheats to help you learn it... and without cheats it can be very challenging.
On the naval maps, even with cheats, it can be almost impossible.
