Rules:
I’m surprised by Helldiver’s. Has there been some performance patches? I tried playing that on my deck near launch and it really struggled even at minimum settings - I can’t imagine how it would run at higher difficulties.
I recently tried it on Deck and it’s rough, but I think a lot of people only have a deck as an option to play it, so they use what they have. It’s a fun game, so it makes sense. If you have the option to play on a PC, it’s not worth using your steam deck though.
I have a hard time playing games like Elden Ring or any big budget games on the Deck. Games like Ballatro or Animal Well are much better.
