Best Steam Deck games: The best and most popular games for your handheld
(Pocket-lint) — The Steam Deck is a fantastic piece of kit because it'll work with many of your favourite PC games. Some games though are perfectly suited to Steam Deck.
We've written before about how to check which games will work with your Steam Deck, but just because a game will work doesn't mean it'll be a perfect experience. Some games are better suited to a smaller screen or to controller schemes than others.
Some games are also proving particularly popular amongst Steam Deck owners, so we're rounding them up to help you decide what to buy.
Stray is a perfect fit for the Steam Deck. A wonderfully chilled-out adventure game that plays nicely with the Steam Deck's controls and looks great on the console as well.
We should probably caveat this one by saying that you don't want to buy Elden Ring for your Steam Deck if you're prone to rage fits that might see you toss your console across the room in frustration. Otherwise one of the best action RPGs of late is a perfect purchase.
No Man's Sky has been around for a while now and has seen all manner of awesome updates that make it worth buying if you haven't already. We found it doesn't load as quickly on Steam Deck as it does on a gaming PC but otherwise it's a blast.
Aperture Desk Job is a free game that was designed specifically for Steam Deck, so it makes sense that it's a good choice to play. It's probably one of the first things you should try, especially with Valve's sense of humour.
Stardew Valley is likely a perfect game for playing on your sofa or relaxing while you're out and about with your console. The pixel graphic styling is hardly taxing on the system either, so that'll help with battery life.
