Weird question probably but here goes :
I'm discovering the joy of having a Dock, it's great!
But what's even better is I can just get my PC to stream more powerful games to my Deck (that the Deck would otherwise struggle with)
It works flawlessly (zero input delay, or rather not noticeable), better than Steam Link / Remote Play (I get input delay on this), and I haven't tried Moonlight
It's also so much more convenient than moving my PC to the living room (where the TV is) and plugging it there!
So I'm like wow Order of the Sinking Star is awesome, but what if I played games that my Deck sometimes has trouble with? Like I could run Witcher 3 Remastered with some better settings!
So I guess I'm not asking for great Steam Deck games, it's more like, what are games that my PC could run that feel great on controller, that I would stream to my Docked Deck?
Thanks!!
The answer is really just any game that is well suited to controller + TV. The aspect of streaming to the Deck is largely irrelevant since, as you mentioned, the experience feels so close to native.
I used this type of setup to pkay Harold Halibut, the Quantic Dream games (Detroit, Beyond Two Souls, Heavy Rain), Elden Ring (+ other soulsborne), and anything else that doesn’t run at its full potential directly on the Deck.
Harold Halibut takes up a shocking amount of hard drive space and uses an inordinate amount of resources for what it is.
Maybe it's poor optimization, or maybe that's just how it has to be if you're going to do actual, real, stop motion for everything.
But goddamn
Youre right I realize I tend to try and give too much context sometimes lol, thanks for the list!!
