I know the question is akin to saying ‘what’s the most chill PC game’ but nonetheless the question remains, what’s the most chill game to play on Steam Deck?

    Riders Republic.

    Just bought it a few days ago with the intention of playing on my PC as saw it was unsupported by the SD - surprise surprise, it works perfectly for me on the SD!

    I just cycle, ski & fly in ‘zen’ mode whilst enjoying the beautiful, stunning views. I think there may be a skateboard option but i haven’t unlocked that yet.

    Love it.

    My SD is the old lcd 512GB just in case that makes a difference.

    I love FTL. Might be not as chill as some other options, but it is still very relaxing.

    Just create your own bindings and you’re set to go.

    Dwarf Fortress. It’s actually super relaxing when your fort is running smoothly, managing work orders, building, decorating, mining.

    I’ve lost 35 hours in Hardspace shipbreaker on my deck in the last 2/3 weeks. Tetris effect connected is very chilled and relaxing too.

      I found that when I turned the timer and oxygen off, it’s a completely different game. It’s super chill, take your time, perfect relaxing dad game. But with coolant reactors, still give you one little challenge if you want.

      ​

      With the timer and oxygen and one life no res, it’s stressful as hell.

        The one thing that annoys me is the “shift” isn’t long enough but I didn’t want to spoil my progression. Maybe I’ll try the other mode.

    Firewatch, short game about 4.1 hours to complete. It’s a walking simulator that walks you through a pretty decent story. Highly recommend

    The one where you change your boot vids, alter the game covers, check out Decky mods, etc. It’s called “Tweak Your Deck”. Very chill game. Easily in the top three games I’ve played on mine.

    Not sure if No Man’s Sky is a chill game but get to go to space. It was calming for my experience, but who knows
