I was a day one (minute 3?) purchaser of the 512 LCD deck, and I’ve been an unabashed cheerleader for the platform since the day it arrived. When my LE OLED arrived, I decided to put just my favorites on there, as well as a couple of new things I had played on PC (e.g. Control) to look at the HDR. Since I have to RMA it (stupid pixels!) I made a list of those titles for when the new one comes.

I’m putting the list here in case it’s helpful to new Deck purchasers. I am usually a turn-based strategy/RPG player on PC, but I find I end up playing more platformers and action-RPG’s on the Deck.

If I had to pick a “perfect” Deck title, I would probably say Dead Cells, with Hades as a close second. Now with the OLED screen I might swap them, just because of the gorgeous visuals in Hades.

Here’s my list:

- Celeste

- Cloudpunk

- Control

- Cyberpunk 2077

- Dave the Diver

- Dead Cells

- Diablo IV

- Dust

- Hades

- Legend of Grimrock II

- Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga

- Ori and the Blind Forest

- Salt and Sanctuary

- Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove

- Slay the Spire

- Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition

- Vampire Survivors

- Witcher III - The Wild Hunt
