I still need to try it on Steam Deck. I was surprised how good it is to play Civilization: Beyond Earth on it and just want more 4X games to try on it. As a Warhammer fan TW: Warhammer series is one of my favorite :-)

Do you mean since? Otherwise I'm confused.

Yes, I just switched those two words :-D

Quoting: HohlraumOne metric I'd be curious about is how many people aren't using the SD controls themselves and instead opt for an external controller. I have hundreds of hours on my SD now and I'll bet I've spent less than 3 hrs total actually holding the thing. I would be perfectly happy if a tablet FF SD was released that relied entirely on external (or detachable) controls.

I'm the opposite of that, I don't even have any external controller to connect to it (maybe except wireless mouse, but never tried it). And without some kind of stand to put Steam Deck into I don't really see a way to play on it without holding it in hands. I can imagine putting it in docking station next to TV and use an external controller to play on it, but in this case you still need a docking station and big monitor.

I have a high-end desktop, but didn't play anything on it since I got Steam Deck. For me it's much better to lie down on couch or bed with Steam Deck than sitting on chair when playing on PC. It is enough that I'm sitting in chair during work hours.

Quoting: llortonCurrently playing Total War: Warhammer (the first one) without any issue on my Steam Deck.
I also finished A Plague Tale: Innocence, the dev did a great job for making it Deck compatible.

How good is TW: Warhammer on Steam Deck? I'm still not sure if it's playable without mouse and keyboard.

Sorry for very late reply :dizzy:
The campaign map is very comfortable to use (just track bad + left/right triggers), battle are a bit more awkward but once you learn the shortcuts you can get things done.
Nonetheless, I mostly autoresolving my way through the campaign (Normal difficulty) so I don't play many battle manually.

Thanks for the reply, I'm autoresolving most battles as well, so I will absolutely try it.

I'm playing game after game on Steam Deck, recently finished Resident Evil: Revelations and I can confirm it's now really verified (cutscenes didn't play before, but this is now solved).

Currently in Whispered World [External Link], Steam Deck is actually great for playing Point & Click adventures. And looking forward to try Layers of Fear [External Link] and Mordheim: City of the Damned [External Link].

How good is Rimworld on Steam Deck, could it be easily controlled by controller or it's just for the mouse and keyboard?

I must say I was really surprised how well Surviving Aftermath was playable on Steam Deck controller, it was a really great experience to see that even some RTS games could be played easily on controller :-)

As a security oriented guy, I always feel sad to see `curl` with `sh` as recommended way of installation. But I can understand that this is probably the only way to get applications without UI to Steam Deck. It would be nice if Valve introduced something like `rpm-ostree`, so people could actually layer packages from arch repositories.
