I’m looking for some games to play with my girlfriend on the Deck, that are playable with Xbox controllers when then Deck is docked to the TV
Examples/games I already own:
- Moving out
- Piku Niku <- this one was really fun
- Bread and Fred
- Overcooked
Lovers in a dangerous space-time
Unravel (requires ea origin launcher)
Nobody Saves the world is 50% off and is really really great, a goty 2022 contender in some circles.
Battleblock Theater is an oldie but a goodie and 80% off.
And the obligatory It Takes Two plug, also a GOTY contender.
Future games:
Surmount is coming out this year and has a demo out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1675000/Surmount/
I believe Moving Out 2 was announced
Lego Star Wars games might be a good choice
I’ve been having a blast with Earth Defense Force 5, and I believe it has split screen co-op.
Howdy, I got some input. My partner and both play on steamdecks.
Saw this in one of the comments below but:
Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time
- Is a blast and I e of the few games you need another person to play with. The more the merrier.
Heave Ho
- Solid party fun.
Laura Croft and The Guardian of Light
- It’s a $1.49 during the summer sale. Played this a while back. Phenomenal time.
PS: It says unsupported but I just booted it up and it loaded just fine, just tap the screen or use the track pads to get past the setting screen that loads up. Local co-op works and you can invite a friend.
Pico Park
- Simple game but get great for groups
Unrailed
- Recently had an underwater update and it’s been a jive to play. Vibrant colors. Voxel art style, everyone gets into a rhythm. Played with 4 people last week. Deck friendly fun.
Nidhogg / Spiderheck /stick fight / Starwhal /duck game
- Different flavors of the same kind of couch co-op mahem
Plate Up
- New spin on the restaurant, cooking genre
Shovel Knight
- GEM!
Splunky 1&2
- Just tried this game. So far so good.
Ultimate Chicken Fight
- If you like Battle Block Theatre
Wildermyth
- Procedurally generated RPG with paper cutout art style. Play this with a couple friends had a good time.
Shift Happens
- It’s a partner platformer
! If you get into Emudeck, Netplay is a thing, so is Parsec, but local play for console games works so well on the Deck!
Trine 2
- Played it on my nividia shield. It should work on the deck.
Tetris
- The new versions is a strangely addicting party game.
