Steamworld Build. Didn't think I'd like it as much as I do but I'm on my 4th play through (you unlock a special building each time) and am still enjoying it. Wonderful little gem of a game.

I’ve been playing through Expedition 33 again now that it’s “Deck verified”. It’s a pretty rough experience out of the box, but with a mod, xess updates, and some tweaks it’s running well enough. I can at least parry properly now. My PC is having issues, so I’ve been using the deck docked as a replacement. With a monitor and KBM, Laysara has been an absolute pleasure to play. Runs very well, and it’s a great twist on a city builder IMHO.
I've mostly been playing Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza on Hawaii. It's been a great time so far, easily the silliest Yakuza game I've played. I prefer the turn based combat of the newer mainline games to the beat-em-up combat of this one and the originals, but I'm still having a great time with it.
Been playing Monster Hunter Wilds with a friend, and as you know, Deck performance is pretty rough. However I was able to get it to run acceptably enough.
Finally been replaying an older game I had called "A Robot Named Fight". It's basically Super Metroid, but as a rogue-like. It's a lot of fun, really captures a lot of the fun of those games while having every run feel different.
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was a great time! The ending hits you hard in the feels.
Just playing the Atari 5200 version of Moon Patrol and now starting Mother 3.
Gothic 3 with community patches right now. Works great and looks great on the OLED. A blast.
It’s been Mewgenics for me. I love this game, but I find it Act II to be very difficult. I usually stay away from turn based tactics, so optimizing my runs has been a wonderful challenge.
The game mechanics are something that I would really enjoy.
But I absolutely can't stand the art style :(
Jedi Survivor. Runs okayish, chews through battery life though.
It’s a great game despite EA being behind it. I enjoyed the first one better, but I’m looking forward to the third installment.
PowerWash Simulator. Was included with Apple Arcade and I saw no reason not to actually try it, then I started getting into it and long story short, there’s a lot extra content on the main version, plus a lot extra paid dlc (that’ll have to wait for a sale!) and the only way to play the game is, IMO, with the gyro. Perfect match for the Deck!
Picked up Shin Megami V Vengeance on sale. I had traded in the original Switch version when Vengeance first came out, and I finally got around to getting it during this past sale.
Being able to maintain a consistent 60fps makes it a much better experience than on Switch.
Dice A Million.
A new balatro-like.

Easy Delivery Co is absolutely charming
It's currently setup in my garage with my projector + racing wheel setup for Forza 5, as the adult kids were over the other night and enjoy driving
Jumping between Ridge Racer 2 (PSP one) and The Legend of Linkle: Breath of the Wild (BotW, just modded).
With RR2 I pretty much stick to random tours at this point as I really don't want to deal with playing the final duels of the pro tour (I cleared one, tried another and decided it's just not fun). I've been on a bit of a binge of RR related media (videos, listening to the soundtracks) so I come back to this game regularly. I also decided to try out Ridge Racer Type 4 but I'm doing it on my PC due to laziness. Didn't play enough to have an opinion on that one yet.
With BotW I came back after a year or so long break and decided to start from scratch with refreshed attitude instead of continuing my previous save. I'm having a bit more fun and less pressure to progress this time so there's a chance I'll be able to finish it (I got about half-way on my first attempt). We'll see how it goes.
At the very least, I'd love a proper Zelda game with Linkle as a protagonist. Heck, I'd settle for a decent knockoff.
New Star GP. I gave it to my son but ended up playing it way more than him as it’s a quite complex game for an arcade racer.
Still, I’m trying to find other games to divert him from Fortnite and Roblox 😅
Completely Stretchy - Runs great so far but I haven't played a ton yet.

These past few weeks I got Switch and 3DS emulation running pretty well, so I've been bouncing between various exclusive games on both platforms lately. I just found out this morning that Puzzle Quest got a new release on Steam last September, though, so I'll probably be playing that for a while as it always sucks me in when I start a playthrough. Planning to get Scott Pilgrim EX soon and play that as well.
Core keeper. I always skip the "build pretty things" part on these kind of games.
Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3
Just finished Dispatch and now downloading RDR2
Finishing Teslagrad, good game.
Spelunky 2 and Final Fantasy 7 with mods. Took a bit to get running, but FF7 is great with widescreen and upscaled everything
After the winter sale and some Christmas gift cards I was kinda paralyzed by choice and just stopped playing.
I've been following "Video Game Club" on Mastodon and the March game is Super Mario Galaxy. So getting emulator and controller working for that and getting it going. The game itself seems decent, but has not become a total timesink yet.
Switch or Wii version? The Wii one runs a bit better, but is more of a pain to set up controls. The Switch one is perfectly playable and gyro even works.
I used the Wii version. There was a (mostly) helpful video that had links to pre-configured controller mappings so I can do all the motion control stuff with regular controls. The star aiming isn't quite as intuitive, but I've not had an issue playing casually.
