Hey all,

Old time gamer here, haven’t played anything recent in years. Picked up a deck with the sale and looking to pick up a “premium” game. So far I am going back and forth between

  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • FFVII Remake
  • No Man’s Sky

I am not a huge fan of shooters and I know these three have more of an action gameplay style. I have Skyrim which I have played a tad on PC and could see myself playing that on the deck.

What I’d like is something I can pick up and play for an hour or less and put back down for a few days.

Things I’d love in a game

  • some level of replayability / open world content to mess around with
  • good story
  • good ambience / music

And obviously something that plays decent on the deck.

I am leaning on Cyberpunk even with reading and watching mixed-to-negative reviews.

    What about Final Fantasy XII? You mentioned VII Remake, it’s semi-open world, music/atmosphere is as good as any Final Fantasy game and it should play very well on Steam Deck. You could even emulate the Zodiac International translated version for PS2.

      I’ll look at XII. Mostly was intrigued by the remake because I played the original and loved it back when it originally came out. I know the remake is only part of the whole but wanted to re-experience the story again.
