I was recently gifted a Steam Deck for Christmas! If you only had a budget of, let's say 50 bucks, what would you get? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My Steam library basically only consists of Witcher 3 and Spiritfarer. I also was gifted a Humble Bundle game for Batman Arkham Knight.

I’m debating on getting Elden Ring and Cyberpunk (both without DLC).

Marvel’s Spider-Man and FF7 Interograde also look like a good value right now for 40 bucks total.

Not a game recommendation specifically but a money extending protip.

Head over to ITAD and make an account. Then you can get notifications when all the games you’re interested in go on sales from legit resellers (including steam itself). As well as when there’s free games to be had. https://isthereanydeal.com/

Edit: also… if you collect the weekly freebies from epic games you can install heroic games launcher on the steam deck to play those.

Yeah that sites great, you can set thresholds for each game if you want to wait until it's over 50% off or whatever before getting notified. It also imports your steam wishlist.

True, though you don't get the existing cloud saves so if you've started a game already it's a little annoying.

Can also directly import from gog, hb, and fanatical. EGS is on the todo list also once they have an api or even just a public facing library. All this time and egs is still pretty bare bones on features.

That's annoying. I wonder how hard it would be to just copy or use some kind of sync to move the files yourself.
