At the bottom it does say “…by hours played” indicating it’s in ranked order.
“top 20 by hours played” doesn’t specify order though, does it? Sure, it’s expected. But not explicit. I guess you expect “20 most played games” otherwise?
thank you. no way im going on twitter even for a second.
Thankfully OP linked to an imgur screenshot - I didn’t have to visit the Twitter source.
Fucking skyrim never dies!
My dad has been playing it, and almost exclusively it, for years. From 360 to Xbox One to Xbox Series X. It’s literally the only game he even has for the X, he bought the machine just to play Skyrim. He was so excited to find mods. Idk how many thousands of hours he has in it.
Say what you will about Bethesda and Skyrim, but they must have done something right because people still can’t put it down over a decade later. I do want to play it at some point, but I don’t know when I’ll have that kind of time.
To be fair, it was a really fun game. They did a great job with it. In fact, I’ve been itching to play it again.
seeing fallout 4 and skyrim still doing so well brings a smile to my face, at the time i genuinely bought a ps4 so i could play them
Same with The Witcher
There’s my 80+ hours of Stardew Valley in the past week lol
Making a difference!!!
80 hours in a week?
Stardew is a full time job
Company I worked for committed seppuku, figured I’d find a way to relax
Surprised to see Brotato so high.
Not because the game is bad, it’s amazing, I love it on the Deck. But I didn’t know it was that popular and I thought Vampire Survivors had obfuscated it. Glad to see it represented!
It’s been awesome to see the success of Vampire Survivors. Such a technically simple idea that’s so much fun!
Play halls of torment! Really similar vibe, with a different graphical style and gameplay loop. So much fun!!!
WTF is Dave the Diver?
Really cute and relaxing game. Lots of charm and perfect for the steam deck. In this game youre a dude named Dave, a diver, who catches fish by day and works in a sushi bar by night. I stopped playing zelda totk for this haha.
I’m wondering the same about that and about whatever the heck is called “Brotato!” Do you play as a potato? I’m intrigued
It’s a vampire survivors like bullet heaven game. Edit: I mean Brotato.
Gotta assume those BG3 Steam Deck numbers are gonna tank as people get into acts 2 and 3. Act 1 runs quite well on deck, but no amount of low settings or disabled features provides an acceptable level of performance.
I’m on act 3. The performance level is acceptable to me. 30fps/1080p (docked) on low settings.
I’m having more bugged quest or game does not want to detect your mouse right now problems than graphics or performance ones.
There are bugged quests, glitched cameras and abruptly disappointed dialogue aplenty in the back half of the game, for sure. Mind sharing your complete game settings? And are you overclocking or something? I’m genuinely astounded by the performance you’re getting and would like to try to recreate.
Have you played since the 2nd patch in the last few days? From what I’ve heard it’s a reasonable improvement but I haven’t booted it up yet.
Yeah, I went back and tried it again yesterday, fully updated. I have no idea how anyone is getting 30 FPS on steam deck in act 3, unless they’re in the camp or something.
Yeah we played some today and still dip below 30 in act 2, so I’m guessing the final act is still in rough shape. Still managed to feel much smoother, though, so hopefully they continue the trend.
Apologies - I think the Witcher was mostly me. I finally decided I was going to finish it so I could move on to something new.
I’ve been playing it since it launched, I’ll replay it until Geralt isn’t cool anymore.
shoutout to all the brotato mains
Old is gold
I really gotta fuckin buy that
Honestly I know the Deck can run recent and current AAA titles but I generally have had just as much fun playing low-demand games like Stardew, Dead Cells, Caveblazers, etc.
Halls of Torment
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
I’m surprised too! Feels like this game came out of nowhere and still has lots of room to grow, good for the devs.
glad to see it sneaking up on the list here, looking forward to updates
Does anyone else have Halls of Tournament regularly crash on their steam deck normally when they’ve got about five minutes or less in a run? It’s like 30-50% of the time for me.
I love the game but the crashing (and loss of progress) sucks. I need to pick up Vampire Survivors since I know it’s similar and look fun.
Try Performance Mode in HoT’s settings. My first time I made it to 30 minutes, my game crashed. I turned on Performance Mode, and it’s been running just fine ever since. With the retro PC game vibe they’re going for, Performance Mode arguably adds to the experience!
That said, your game crashes when you’re five minutes into a run? I did hear that the game can have crashing issues on Steam Deck, but that’s a little extreme. Not sure if Performance Mode will fix that.
I left out an important word “left”, as in I get 25-30min into a run and it crashes. I’ll try performance mode!
I sent in logs of my crash to the devs back when it happened.
Glad to see Stardew Valley in the list 😊
I’m impressed that Cyberpunk is in the top 10 considering how much flack that game caught.
People spent 8 years molding their personality around that game. Even when it tried to kill people it couldn’t kill the hype.
