As somebody who has only recently discovered the sheer joys of Valve’s Steam Deck, I’ve spent the last few weeks putting the handheld through its paces. But crucially this testing period has involved playing a lot of the best PC games to see how they perform on Steam Deck (or on the Steam Deck OLED, to be specific). And I’m here to share with you my findings.
These five games are certainly not the only games you should play on your Steam Deck, but each one is a worthwhile experience that runs well on the device, and crucially plays well on a Deck. And, to get the expected elephant in the room out of the way, Balatro didn’t make the cut. Look, I seriously adore the Roguelike deckbuilding game but believe it’s best played on mobile.
