I’m getting my first Steam Deck for Christmas and suffering from analysis paralysis on which games to get first lol (especially as I’ll have to be more limited on what I spend than I’d like), so I was curious what AAA games you’ve played on the SD that you enjoyed the most so far.
The one I’d really love to play is Baldur’s Gate 3 but I‘ve seen a lot of mixed reactions on how well it plays on the SD so I’d probably wait to play it especially as I’m not very technologically literate lol. But some others I’m considering are Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Elden Ring, Skyrim, Fallout 4, RDR2, and Sekiro
You don’t need to know anything about optimization. It’s plug and play easy. Just turn it on, open the store, and buy games that are “deck verified”. Those are games tested that run well on the deck. Other games may not be 100% verified because in game text is too small, but sometimes you can adjust the UI sizing in game options.
But trust me, this is an easy console experience. It can be more in depth and complex if you choose to go down that route, but out of the box, it’s just plug and play easy.
