Dj_brown_sugarSuggestions for good mindless games?
GiuEliNoActually i'm playing hades on my idle time
it's a rogue lite
eweHades and Dead Cells are my go to for that. Get more consistent Steam deck time than anything else.
Here are my go tos if I want to just let my mind wander and not think about what i do:
bullet hells
- vampire survivors
- brotato
- soulstone survivors
- 20 minutes till dawn
- bounty of one
emulated:
- pokemon leaf green/fire red
- zelda BOTW (small chunks possible. Do one shrine, explore a bit. Search for some koroks.) runs beautifully on yuzu
RPG:
- Dark souls 1 Remastered(Because the game practically saves every second or two you are not in any way committed to play a long time)
Are you sure about dark souls 1 remastered? I am sure that I played that one (or tried) on Xbox and there it was not really like that ;) or is this on steam/PC only?
Also: this is my first post in the fediverse and I think I am here to stay.
Dark souls saves very often. you can't really save scum. if you die, you die. if you fall from a cliff and you quit out before the "you died" shows, you are on the last stable ground and alive. if you quit out during a boss battle you will load in before the boss fog but if you used estus or items they will not be restored. enemies will reset their position if you load in but stay dead if you already killed them. this is true for every platform and every soulslike game made by from soft . if your game crashes you will load in a few seconds before the crash.
but you also cannot really pause the game. your only reliable glitchless way of "pausing" is quitting out
Wow, today I learned. Thank you!
IndicahDid you have better performance using yuzu for BOTW? I've been using Cemu and it's great, but I've always been curious.
with the latest updates and after an initial shader caching the game runs smooth as butter(capped it to 40fps for battery reasons)
Nice list!
pooVampire Survivors * 1000
dawg i was literally going to take that username but u beat me by like a few minutes that's crazy
pipariturbiiniIf I've understood Lemmy/Fediverse correctly, you could egister the same username in a different instance.
Old School RuneScape
Does this play well with the controls or is it mainly a trackpad+ trigger game? I suppose that would work either way though!
It used to be a browser game, so just keyboard and mouse. They do have an android version, but that doesn't work on PC.
It's a bit of a hassle to set it all up, but it's not impossible.
It's a bit annoying oh the deck tbh...
If you want lazy action, I highly recommend a largely ignored gem. Orcs must die 3.
It's nice looking, satisfying as hell, and you can pay as much or as little attention to it as you want.
KooMSlayer69Any boomer shooter should do the trick, like all of the doom games, dusk, turbo overkill, ultrakill, etc. Their difficulty is flexible too so you can have a challenge or just a vibe with killing whatever is in front of you. Most of these games have an endless mode that works perfectly for small sessions. There's TF2 if you're in a mood for quick online games.
Spider-Man Remastered and Death Stranding are my top ones. Vampire Survivors is an obvious suggestion though.
But Spider-Man and DS hit super different in handheld. I love jumping on Spider-Man swinging around and stopping crime. It's a perfect mindless game imo once you have nothing left to learn. So I just boot up and chill every now and again.
Death Stranding is super unique to me, I have 50 hours in the starting area alone. If you bum rush the story idk if it'd be chill, but when you're in the open world I don't know of another game that's able to just let you feel like running from point to point is engaging. I really enjoy playing this on the SteamDeck while watching TV or a movie. It's like mindless enough but still can be entertaining. And everynow and again you have a BT event that makes you focus up. But it's fun to just do side missions and they are technically never ending in that as soon as you clear out a batch of deliveries you'll get more. I love it.
I have a PS5 and both games on there and I am so much more likely to put a show/movie I want to watch on the tv and boot up either one of those games.
DefinitelyNotSullyKatamari Damacy and it's sequel We Love Katamari have pretty good remasters on Steam. I wholeheartedly recommend those. Chill vibes, good tunes and tons of dopamine from rolling everything up.
