Love the SteamDeck and looking for some good Multiplayer games that feel right on the SD. I find FPS games don’t translate well for me with the keyboard -> controller style jump. So far love Diablo 4 when it comes to MP.
I agree about not playing fps on it.
A lot of retro games, chill stuff like Stardew Valley and other chill sims. Lego games, fighters, maybe some not too intense racers.
I am realizing, as I type this, 99% of my games on deck are single player.
Diablo 4 boost really did very well at the start, but after literally 3 months it lost very much, even transferring to Steam didn’t improve the performance much. But there is still hope with the next global update, if the developers can still understand what the players want.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 runs decently on the Steam Deck, and has semi-(?)/de-facto-(?) official support (the developer purposefully switched to a Linux/Wine-compatible EAC earlier this year, and referenced the Steam Deck support in the corresponding patch note).
Should have mentioned Division 2, plays great on the SD but I’ve grown a little tired of the game.
Some suggestions with similar co-op vibes to D4: Spelunky 2, Don't Starve Together, Dark Souls Remastered
