On the Deck this past month I've been playing Death's Door, Rosewater and Old Skies. I also did some casual deliveries in Death Stranding. Having finally got through Half Life 2 (on the desktop) I had a hankering to replay Wolfenstein, so I've just started that on the Deck.

I have been playing some Neverwinter Nights 2. I have merged the Tome of Battle, Kaedrin's PRC Pack, and Races of Faerun mods and have played through the Original Campaign, Sean Maxhell SoulPath, Tomoachan, Asylum 1 and 2, and a few more modules. Currently playing through Dark Waters, but unfortunately the Tome of Battle additions don't really seem to work with it.

I haven't been on Steam Deck recently, but I recently just finished Black Mesa and replayed Deltarune in time for chapters 3 and 4. Now, I'm on the last third of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which I can hopefully finish soon.

@Corben - The Ascent is so good!!! It got a bit repetitive near the end, but damn did they do a fantastic job of world building.

Right now I'm playing some Oblivion, looking forward to getting into Tainted Grail after I'm done there.

But more importantly: Cyber Knights leaves early access this week so I can finally play it after this LONG wait!!! WOOOO!!!! Been looking forward to this for forever.

I'm playing EXAPUNKS for a long time already, trying to beat every puzzle at least as good as the 10th percentile, and the current one mayyybe at 1%. (I think it's the fifth bonus level.)

*edit* Wow. Steam says I'm 99 hours into it.
