I’ve been reading the Reddit for advice but figured I’d ask anyway.

I’ve played and liked over the last half decade:

  • Valheim
  • Snowrunner
  • Grounded
  • Don’t Starve
  • Stardew Valley
  • DQB2
  • Dinkum
  • Animal Crossing (switch)
  • Loop Hero
  • Graveyard Keeper
  • Elden Ring
  • Elite Dangerous
  • Vermintide 2
  • Deep Rock Galactic
  • every FromSoft game
  • Olli Olli World
  • Art of Rally
  • the Forest
  • My Time at Sandrock
  • Dredge
  • Ooblets

I’ve played and felt ok about:

  • Dave the Diver
  • Subnautica
  • the Long Dark
  • Project Zomboid (control scheme sucks)
  • Gunfire Reborn
  • No Man’s Sky

Im looking for a game I can spend a bunch of time on the steam deck with (like 50+ hours), either because of the nature of the game or just because it’s that good. Any recommendations on games you couldn’t put down?

For some reason I look at some games and see they will take like 10-15 hours to beat so I’m not interested.

    Outer Wilds.

    There might be others, but if it were me this would be the only option to play next it’s so good. Plus it’s $15 rn on Steam.

    Rune Factory 3 and 4 are good games. They are similar to Stardew Valley in that they are farming sims with a bigger focus on the RPG aspect.

    I noticed that The Witcher 3 is not on there. It goes on sale all of the time, but it is worth the full price. My first run-through of the game and DLCs was something like 275+ hours and the DLCs are some of the best expansions for any RPG, ever.

    It also runs super well on the Deck. Even docked and upscaling to 1080p, I still get 45+ FPS with decent graphics settings.

    Final Fantasy? I’m playing 12 (zodiac age) now, and it’s much deeper than I initially thought. The combat system is really engaging for me. I’m at 60 hours and maybe 3/4 of the way finished, but if I really went nitty gritty with min maxing, hunting, pursuing the best weapons/gear, I’d easily double that time
