Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to the device.
I’m trying to reinvigorate my old, nostalgic love of gaming and hoping to find the perfect Steam Deck + addicting game combo.
Final Profit: A Shop RPG
One of the most impressive RPG Maker games I’ve ever seen. It has a pretty extensive demo for anyone curious too, and it’s perfect for the steam deck.
The shop mechanics keep expanding like an incremental game, meanwhile you explore the modest open world with metroidvania elements, unlocking shortcuts in the same creative way as Dark Souls 1 or even The Outer Wilds (where they were always there, you just needed to know where to look! A+)
Every 30 minutes the game introduces a new feature, and even just hours in you begin to juggle multiple systems on the go. It keeps getting deeper and the pacing is fantastic. By the end you’re able to purchase any building in the world to add to your trading empire.
