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

      Slow like easy or slow in pace? I will say when it came up on game pass I played it to the first mini boss and something else pulled me away. I feel like that was right before the music timing really clicked in for me.

      Also didn’t hurt that the first actual boss that I got to was Nine Inch Nails. I’m locked in now and absolutely love it. Hi Fi has jumped to my GotY short list for sure.

          Haha yea I had the same reaction! 1,000,000 came on during the first boss fight and I was in love.

        The combat and traversal is all just a bit slow. Couldn’t get into it the first couple hours. It’s beautiful though and the music is great
