My Steam Deck Review: The Games
I’ve carefully selected a giant list of 40+ games to check out, representing a little something for everyone. You’ve got less demanding indie titles, a handful of retro games via RetroArch, and brand new AAA releases. Racing, action, adventure, RPG, fighting, roguelikes, shooters. I think it’s a well-rounded mix.
Before I run down the complete list, know that I’m also planning to test 3rd-party game platforms like Epic Games (via Heroic) and Lutris.
For the majority of the titles below, I’ll also evaluate them with AMD FSR On/Off, as well as on an external 1080p display. In addition, I plan to compare loading times between the built-in 512GB NVMe SSD and a pair of microSD cards.
OK, here’s the list!
Age of Empires IV
The Ascent
Borderlands 3
Bravely Default II
Chorus
Control
Cyberpunk 2077
Dark Souls II
Death Stranding
Deathloop
Devil May Cry 5

I’m not sure when all of this will land, but the following will be tested:
General impressions of SteamOS 3.0 as a desktop daily driver…
Ease-of-use installing software via Flatpak.
Connecting bluetooth devices like mice, headphones and gamepads. Evaluating if they stay connected after sleep/resume.
Video editing with Kdenlive.
Using Discord for voice chat while gaming.
Battery life in desktop mode.
Using internal Steam Deck display as a secondary monitor during workstation/desktop usage and while gaming.
Adding non-Steam games to the Steam Deck UI.
Extensive Phoronix Test Suite benchmarks, compared to Intel NUC, various Linux laptops, and the MinisForum UM700. Including disk load times and CPU-focused tests.
SteamOS 3.0 on non-Steam Deck hardware (pending public release).
Installing and using Windows on Steam Deck
Select Windows vs Linux gaming benchmarks.
Installing other Linux distros on Steam Deck.
