Hello peeps. Life’s thrown me some curve-balls recently, and I’d like a bit of an escape. Can anyone recommend a decent game in the vein of Skyrim, Fallout or Deus Ex/System Shock for the steam deck, that isn’t 25 or 30 quid please? Something on offer for less than a tenner would be ideal. I’m sure there are some great older RPGs out there that I’ve missed, the Deck is the first time I’ve got back into gaming for quite a few years, and while I’m sure I could quite happily just play Brotato for the next few years, I reckon there’s something a bit more immersive out there for me to find!

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
The Dishonored series is amazing and is usually pretty cheap when on sale. A couple bucks at most, maybe.
Another immersive sim to recommend would be Prey. The DLC is really good too
I would like to second Prey. It is very cheap during a sale.
It’s currently on sale on epic store if you don’t mind that/already have heroic launcher or similar on the steam deck.

Dishonoured 2 plays like garbage on the deck. I found it too graphics intensive and had to crank everything WAY down.
Dishonoured 1 plays like a dream though.
That’s surprising. Would have thought the game to be “old enough” to perform well on the Deck.
Same. The last time I tried it was over a year ago so perhaps a proton update fixed it or improved it. It’s worth testing again.
The Dishonoured looks great, and I’ve had Prey on my wish list for a while, thanks
+1 for Dishonoured if you haven’t gotten it yet. Especially the first one, one of my all time favourites. Highly recommended
My pleasure. Enjoy the escapism and get well soon 💜☺️
