You should buy and try Final Fantasy VII Remake. Its amazing and optimized for the Steam Deck. Its a hella fun game.

@Travis Smith- I haven't received mine yet but from what I've read about the one I ordered, it didn't mention anything about getting any free games other than the ones you already bought in your library.

What a fantastic resource thank you so much. So nice to hear someone actually appreciate this fantastic piece of technology. Just a few years ago this would have seemed entirely impossible.

[@MooMooTheWolf]

Thank you so much for making this vid!! Please do more game testing because I'm obsessed with these kind of vids. Definitely got a new sub!

[@massivive]

this video not only taught me that one of my favourite childhood games TESIV: Oblivion runs great on the deck, but also that there's a mod to add decent controller support to the game I can't wait to jump back into it! Thanks for uploading!

[@xerxesmontes9828]

Hearing your thoughts on each game while testing them was really enjoyable! Thank you for this. I subbed after hearing you talk about No Man's Sky. Im playing it on the switch for now, but I plan to get this sometime this year. Slowly but surely saving up for it.

[@jlemo824]

Thank you for making this video, you did an awesome job and it was very helpful to see these games running on the steam deck. I getting mine tomorrow and have a huge steam library because I have always been a PC gamer. I subscribed to your channel and will continue watching more of your videos. Thanks again for all your help!

[@ellesreptiles]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks 😊

[@shuflie]

If you haven't discovered it yet the Steam Deck has its own very good joystick sensitivity setting in the controller settings, just press the cog beside the stick you want to adjust and play around with the settings available under sensitivity to find something you like. Can do it before launching the game, but in this case you're probably better off using the steam menu while the game is running to see how the changed settings affect the gameplay.

[@hazy33]

Excellent tip!! I'll have to remember this.

[@meric12131415]

Let hope he read it also cool good to know 😁

[@williamflattener4257]

Thanks for this! My deck is inbound and my mind is racing trying to decide what to play first.

[@saveschi]

Just realised the whole video was almost 2 hours long when you mentioned it and yes, I did watch all of it but skipped some games that were not under my radar. I clicked on it simply because I've ordered mine a couple of days ago and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Wonderful video and I'm sure many have said it in other comments but this is a perfect video to showcase what the Steam Deck can actually run.

[@MrJoshyboy3107]

Thank you for making this vid! My steam deck is supposed to be delivered Tuesday and have been looking around at games that will run well on the deck

[@MrJoshyboy3107]

@Travis Smith not really, been buying everything on steam sales and humble bundles. I haven't paid full price for anything on my deck yet. Plus I haven't sold any games in years, so I'm not losing anything on the trade in front at all. Still have my PS5 and XSX, the steam deck basically just killed my switch and is the perfect thing to lounge around and play on

[@MrJoshyboy3107]

@Travis Smith you do know you are allowed to own more than 1 thing to play videogames on, right?

[@MrJoshyboy3107]

@Travis Smith if you haven't played videogames in over 17 years, why have you been posting multiple comments bashing the steam deck? You keep on doing you man, lol

Thanks for sharing your experience! Many games you shown, I do also have on my deck. Can´t wait for end of month, soon, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves will arrive on Steam. ;) Interestingly enough: Stardew Valley is suffering from some bad slowdowns on my Xbox One X, but running smooth as butter on the Deck. 😧 I prefer to play on locked 30fps/reduced TDP in handheld mode, to preserve battery lifetime.

[@KingMuttley]

Honestly, moreso than the performance of the games, the thing that stands out on the steam deck for me is how good those speakers are. The audio is so clear, pretty loud, and detailed to say that it's going through your mic and out of my phone speakers

[@soliddrake11]

Idk if everyone else is like me, but when I watch people test games it helps to also see temps. Maybe I’m foolish, but I like to scale games down to make sure they aren’t running at 90c+ temps.

Hey, do you game on your SD card a lot ? Were some of these games running off of it ? I can't really afford the top tier steam deck but i can get the 64gb one and a good SD card, i was wondering how good stuff would run in the long run and not just "oh it loads fine" tests

[@unlimitedslash]

I'm personally playing Tomb Rider (2013) right now with my deck, i found that using proton 7.0.4 is more stable than using experimental or the 6.0 versions, i noticed that when using those (specially experimental) it tends to just hammer down a single core for no reason, and causing severe performance issues, running it on ultra at 40hz 40fps almost rock solid, when loading some shaders or in certain scenes filled with different lights and shadows it tanks a bit.

[@MrJoshyboy3107]

@Travis Smith dude, you are absolutely salty about the steam deck, how many comments have you replied to just dump on it?

[@LUN4RA]

@Travis Smith ive seen videos of people playing gta online so you're just lying

[@unlimitedslash]

@Travis Smith Currently playing guild wars 2 on my steam deck, max settings 60fps, your point? The only other game i could try is FFXIV and that's already been proved to work without issues. If you are salty because you didn't get one earlier or you just don't like it thats on you, but don't spread missinformation please, it makes you look like a fool and confuses people that might want to get one. If you don't like steam os you can always install windows on it and you will be able to play all those abusive anticheat infested games, even Destiny 2 runs at 60fps on it!

[@Playgroundia]

Awesome video!

[@ginmit3383]

Can you shed some light on how you got the Halo series working so well? From installing to running (new SD user here)

@TarTimOoAl how do you think, is it worth buying the 512 gb version, or it's better to get the 64gb + microSD

[@tartimooal7898]

@@BS-jf4yb I myself bought the 256 version because it comes with an SSD as opposed to a regular hard drive for the base storage but i would recommend going for either the 64gb or the 256 gb version and buying amicro SD card because i heard that the non-reflective screen isn't as nice because even though you won't have to worry so much about sun or lights, the colors aren't as nice on the non-reflective screen of the 512. I think the screen on the 256/64 is really nice so it has honestly had no issues for me. If you're ok with having a hard drive for base storage i suggest you get 64 and a big micro sd card because you will save quite a nice sum of money aswell. Highly recommend it!😊

I liked you more and more as the video went on. You really should give Oblivion and New Vegas a shot sometime. They're the best game from each of those series (other than Skyrim obv) Far Cry 2 is still my fav even though 3 did some things better. Ive mainly always been a PC guy but Halo 2 and 3 on the 360 were my first 2 multiplayer console games. So many good memories. I never find time to game lately because Im always gone with work and other things. I've watched a ton of these steam deck videos but yours was what has finally convinced me to get one. Helped me remember how many of these games I have sitting in my Library that I want to jump back into. Thanks!

[@Vintagesonic1]

1:05:33 Relatable. As a kid, I remember trading one of my favorite games to play back then with a friend, which was Superman Returns for the PS2, for a copy of GTA 3. Then when I got home and I started playing it and my dad saw what I was playing, he then convicted the game from me and made me trade it in to EB Games for a few dollars or something, which not only made me upset, but I also never got my Superman game back. The reason why my dad didn't want me playing GTA, isn't because of the media acting like it would turn your kid into a criminal, but because the age rating was R18 and I was like 11 at the time. My dad really took the age classifications on games super seriously when I was a kid.
