Also; I’ve found “3” games to recommend that I think you may like… 0.5) Firewatch - I’ve seen a lot of others say it here, but it’s a profound game. Nothing more to add, honestly. 1) SOMA - Since Firewatch has been mentioned a lot, I think SOMA is an excellent choice as well. It’s labeled a “horror game” but it goes much deeper than that - no cheap jumpscares. It’s very psychological and makes you question a lot about humanities future. Trippy. 2) Ori or Hollow Knight - both have an amazing art style that I think would look great on the Deck, and they pack great gameplay & storytelling as well. 3) Risk of Rain 2 - a bit different than the others but I think it’d play very well on the Steam Deck. Insanely good gameplay.

That's cool to know. The game is kinda CPU-heavy too because of all the simulations and it's good to know it works fine on the Deck. It'll be a good way to have more people to play this awesome game :)

You’ve made three videos. On steam deck. Three. That’s it. This is my favorite steam deck channel. Admittedly the accent helps, I love the shit out of Brits. But honestly you’re so entertaining and genuine. Keep it up “mate” ;) I’m working on it!

I really like your content, Mike! Is a break from every other "gaming" channel. You can see the effort and quality you put into your videos! Keep them coming!

For me, Darksiders genesis and death's door are the first two I am playing when I get my deck today!

Honestly thanks for entertaining me! Good videos so far!

Mike, You deserve all the accolades and praise. I would have NEVER guessed this was a new channel based on the quality of your content. Keep up the good work. I've only just gotten my Deck, but I would highly recommend The Ascent. It's like a Cyberpunk themed version of Diablo that is pretty well suited for play on the deck. I also like to play Stardew Valley right before bedtime to calm my mind.

These are so much better suggestions than your run of the mill IGN. Your channel will be big, please keep it up if you can :) You have one more subscriber today. Soon you'll reach a million and beyond.

So many great games it's hard to pick them out. Hades was ridiculously fun and Curse of Monkey Island is an all time favorite. Just completed my deck purchase yesterday and I'll be starting with Chrono Trigger. Good to have a reason to go back for the achievements I didn't realize I'd missed.
