Wild to see Palworld up there when it only had two months (or more like a month and a half) to qualify.
Red Dead runs well and looks absolutely beautiful on the deck.
Don't forget it was a PS4/XB1 game.
I just went through the list and counted, and I'm at 22 as well!
Some others on the list I might replay on the Deck down the line.
Baldurs gate, hogwarts and horizon zero dawn barely run well on SD, I'm surprised they rank so highā¦
The Steam deck gamer is above stupid shit like performance and resolution.
When I don't use it for a week I'm like wow, this thing is comfy.
I haven't played any of those games on my Deck in SteamOS which is kinda funny. Played some via gamepass in Windows and also streamed a couple from my PC.
RDR2 runs just fine on Steam Deck, it was a PS4 game after all.

Horizon is specially a traversal stutter fest on the deck š„² it is impossible to play a game in this condition.
RDR2 runs relatively well. Especially if you are use to playing Switch on the go. It's not ideal but more than playable and there isn't another game like it.
wow i am really joe gamer, i've played and own every single game in the top 10 and own almost every other game in the top 30 and played most of them. the only ones i haven't touched are brotato, dead cells, binding of isaac, and monster hunter (i played the demo not really my kinda game).
For the most part this is just a list of popular modern games which is kind of surprising considering how poorly quite a few of them run on the Steam Deck. I wonder if this implies there's a large continent of SD owners who use it as their primary device. Either that, or there really are a bunch of people who'd rather stutter through Harry Potter and Horizon at sub 30fps for dat portability rather than play these games on PC/console.
I've tried several times and just can't get over the fps drops and stuttering. It'd be the perfect game on Steam Deck at a locked 30fps but alas.

Jumping on this thread as I'm very torn. I've a 3080 Gaming PC that is basically a Gamepass + 4k Switch box, and has been my bread and butter the last 18 months, though recently booting the Switch back up for Unicorn Overlord has reminded me just how cosy portable and bed gaming is.
I'm Australian, and Steam Deck 64Gb is $600, the OLED is $1050, Lenovo Go is $1050, and Rog Ally is $1050. Currently just weighing up whether I'll be satisfied with the base Steam Deck, or if I'll be left wanting and wishing I'd spent more. Will inevitably need to buy a storage upgrade for the deck, so that's probably another $150 too. Thoughts? How's the basic OG Steam deck in 2024? Thinking I might just jump on the Deck now, and then possibly sell it in a year or two's time.
I'm also deliberating on whether I just get a nice phone controller set-up like the Razor Kishi, and just stream games from my PC to my phone. Though unsure as to how that compares vs a native deck experience

It's fine but honestly buying anything but OLED of you can afford it is not good idea. OLED offers a lot of improvements over LCD version. Best option is if you have someone to bring it one from other regions where it is cheaper.
Buy used, that's what I did.
That way I got a 512 GB LCD Steam Deck for 350ā¬
And it works wonderfully.
I think the OLED is too big an upgrade to go with the regular model now and it's not just the screen, though that's a big improvement. It's all the little things that adds up to much more than I thought they would: The weight being lesser, the battery time being much better, the bezels being smaller, the screen being being slightly bigger, the slight indendation on the analog sticks making them less smooth and slippery etc. It all adds up.
The weight in particular I think is a very noticable difference, despite it seeming slight on paper. I wouldn't recommend the original version, if you can spare the extra money and it's not just about it being an OLED screen, which to me haven't changed much, though it's obviously way better. It's all the other things they improved that really made the difference.
PC gamers less concerned about performance and resolution, more caring about comfy couch gaming than console players confirmed.
For me personally my Deck is a Crash Bandicoot 1-4 and FFVII Remake machine for when I'm on holiday. Don't use it for much else lol. On my next holiday I'll I'll add the Tomb Raider Trilogy remasters to that and MGS Master Collection.
Basically it has replaced what I used to primarily use my PSP and Vita for. Same games.

Some of those games really don't run well. I mean, I've barely touched my PC since getting the OLED deck so I understand the temptation of wanting to play everything on it, but stuff like Cyberpunk I'll play whenever I get a PC that does it justice.
Been playing Persona 3 Reload and Infinite Wealth with some emulation on the side.
Looking forward to SMTV and Ghost of Tsushima in the summer.
I hear Baldur's Gate 3 really takes a hit in performance in the last act which is a shame.
I was lucky, got a factory sealed 512gb OLED for 450ā¬ back in December.

The best part of the Steam Deck is that I'm looking at this list, and I've played.. two of these games this month, Balatro and Persona 3 Reload.
I've been busy with Case of the Golden Idol, Tetris Effect, Citizen Sleeper and a smattering of Tekken 8 against ghosts.
