I have been gaming on my PS5 since release. I usually play AAA games and since a few months I stopped buying them. Nowadays they arrive with loads of problems and take forever to fix. Once they are fixed, DLC arrives and the games get big discounts. All publishers are guilty of this, even Sony games now suffer from problems. Considering 2024 looks like a bit weaker and I have a big Steam library full of titles I haven’t played in years I ordered myself a Steam Deck OLED. I want to avoid buying new AAA games that now cost €80 and aren’t even finished. My plan is to replay a lot of following games before I buy a new game:

  • Witcher 3

  • Cyberpunk 2077

  • Red Dead Redemption 2

  • Portal 1 + 2

  • Resident Evil 3 + Village

  • Mirror’s Edge

  • Max Payne 2 + 3 (1 has seemingly vanished from my Steam account?)

  • Mafia 1 + 2 Definitive Edition

  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance

  • GTA San Andreas + 4 Complete

  • Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

  • Far Cry 2

  • Fallout: New Vegas

  • Doom + Eternal

  • Skyrim

  • Death Stranding

  • Dead Space 1 + 2

  • Dark Souls III

  • Crysis 1 + 2, Warhead

  • Control

  • CoD Black Ops

  • Bully Scholarship Edition

  • Borderlands GOTY Enhanced

  • Bioshock 1 + 2 Remastered

  • Arkham Trilogy

  • Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy

  • Alien Isolation

  • Alan Wake + American Nightmare

This also made my reconsider buying physical games on Playstation by the way. I usually sell my games after I beat them but because of that I also have a tiny Playstation library.

    Pretty much bought the deck because I found myself playing my switch more than anything and wanted a way to get through my backlog.

    Play wayyy more than I used to, just beat Alan Wake 1, Control, Fallout New Vegas and it’s dlcs. That’s just the stuff I can think of off the top of my head. But yeah it’s amazing how it basically flawlessly runs PS3/360 era and below and pretty decently handles most PS4/xbone/switch era games. Even played some pretty new titles with it, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart ran pretty well at mid settings, loading screens were pretty bad although I was running off an SD card.
