To this day this is the only mod for any game I’ve installed on the Steam Deck. I followed the directions carefully, including the settings and it worked perfectly.

I also used Cryobytes’s “Golden 40” graphic recommendations but did NOT bother installing his utility and still got great results. IMO, even before the 3.5 SteamOS update it wasn’t necessary and is probably even less needed now but the in game setting are money.
Another vote for Cyberpunk.
Witcher 3 with a mod to make the UI bigger is super good.
It’s an old AAA game but Fallout: New Vegas can run maxed at basically 60fps and get decent battery life. It’s probably the first “big” game that I decided I liked better on the deck.
The Mass Effect LE trilogy.
Definitely! I have yet to dip into creating radial menus and such but I’ve used a couple community layouts that show how powerful they are when used well.
I absolutely adored Far: Lone Sail but the sequel Far: Changing Tides was unplayably choppy poo due to their anti-cheat software. Ran like butter on a Windows PC but it’s a little indie walking sim that is perfect for mobile and kinda silly on a desktop sonit just sat for probably a year.
Long story short… it runs on 3.5.5 as well as on a Windows machine!
This is the kind of high-quality, low-fluff, non-commercial, niche-topic posts that make Reddit good. I am going to try the trackpad angle one in particular. I also dig yer effective meme usage on the trackpad press value lol. Funny but if you’re not familar, totally transparent in terms of clarity.
RIP. The value of his utility is up for debate, but the quality of his settings recommendations and hard work on optimizing the deck should not be!
