Hey everyone!
So I recently bought the Steam deck, and love every second of it. It allows me to play games that I normally never play on PC. Like some indies.
But I have a question. I want a game where I can just braindead level. Bit like Runescape back in the day. Is there some game like that for the Deck?
Elite: Dangerous is 100% grind 100% of the time. If you legitimately enjoy mindless grind loops that’s probably the game for you. I spent more time than I’m comfortable admitting just shuttling goods and …people back and forth between two stations. It runs really well on the deck.
How does it play on deck? I really like the idea of picking it up again what’s the battery life like?
I have thousands of hours in the game but not on the deck. I stopped playing when they dropped console support.
That said, I have single digit hours on the deck. The controls were basically the same as I was used to on the Xbox, so it felt like a native game. The performance was pretty decent but I didn’t try any Odyssey content. Can’t answer your question on battery life, sorry. I do remember when the deck launched people on the E:D subreddit were very pleased with performance and battery life, for whatever that’s worth. Honestly Frontier really should embrace the deck, their game is practically built for it.
The launcher is a huge pain in the ass but if you can get past that at least once you don’t have to deal with it again.
