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!

Dave the Diver was fantastic and is perfect for the Deck.

Some other games I liked playing this year on the Deck:

Chained Echoes

Vampire Survivors

Eastward

Divinity Original Sin 2

Slay the spire

Balatro

Chrono Trigger

Stardew Valley

Inscryption (mouse and keyboard required)

Edit: I got them all below or around $10, but some of them are curently above.

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.
