I have about 55 hours of flights coming up. I’m thinking about the deus ex collection. Any thoughts? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’m visiting my home country on the other side of the world in a few months and I want to load up my steamdeck.

I’m thinking of getting deus ex but the collection is just a bit more. Are these games good?

What other games do you recommended for 55 hours of traveling?

Deus Ex is great but 55 hours of having nothing to do but Deus Ex sounds overwhelming. Grab UFO 50 as well so you have some low-commitment alternatives to fall back on.

Thanks! I have about 750gb of space for games, so I’m going to make sure I’m loaded with options.

There’s like an emotional component to it, though. Having lots of options doesn’t necessarily feel like lots of options. Deus Ex and hundreds of gigs of not Deus Ex feels like a yes or no decision, trying one of the multitude of other options being psychically equivalent just turning the machine off. At least in my experience.

Hence the suggestion of a compilation. Multiple other games but connected to each other to form a greater whole. Five minutes of Balatro and five minutes of One Way Heroics feels like ten minutes of not playing Deus Ex, whereas five minutes of Magic Garden and five minutes of Mortol feels like ten minutes of UFO 50.
