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!

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.

The Dishonoured looks great, and I’ve had Prey on my wish list for a while, thanks

My pleasure. Enjoy the escapism and get well soon 💜☺️

+1 for Dishonoured if you haven’t gotten it yet. Especially the first one, one of my all time favourites. Highly recommended

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.

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.
