Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the April 2024, sorted by playtime
I’ve noticed that the games that dominate this list every month are very long games designed to suck players into their gameplay loops for hundreds of hours. Nothing wrong with that, but it makes me wonder if there are short games that are very popular, yet get left off of this list just because they end in 10 hours. I would like to see a top 20 list sorted by number of players rather than playtime.
So far I have a habit of playing the same game for longer when I play in short bursts on the train and sometimes bus to work. Games like those probably just work really well for commuting.
Balatro made me have a 7/4 rhythm playing in my head 24/7
Can you link to the data / source?
I’m surprised by Helldivers. I can’t imagine that it runs very well.
It runs great! Granted I turned all the graphics to minimum, but the game still looks good and runs great. Only problem is if there’s just an absurd amount of particle effects it can get a little frame-y, but I play at the second-highest difficulty (so lots of enemies) and frames only happen every 20 matches or so at most
Red Dead Redemption 2 has been on this list since the release of the steam deck because the 3 people still trying to play that game on the deck haven’t finished loading the world yet
That one really surprised me, does it have something like a render scale slider? Unless there’s a baked-in way to achieve ultra potato graphics, I just can’t imagine it’s playable.
But shit man, the numbers are right there! There’s gotta be something to it. Maybe people are just putting up with ~20fps averages or some shit.
I definitely put up with shit graphics and potato framerate for Baldur’s Gate 3
Man I’d render at fucken 800x600 if it got me like a solid 50 fps
The biggest surprise is fallout 76. I thought it was universally disliked? Is it the fallout TV show causing it?
It has a really bad release. A few patches in, it turned into a good enough game. It’s still nowhere near as good as the heyday of Fallout with 2 and Tactics, but it’s a good enough game.
Does it feel like a Fallout game yet? I remember playing it and kind of hoped it would feel like a co-op Fallout, but it’s just another survival and crafting game.
To be fair, most Fallout games at this point don’t feel like “Fallout.”
Fallout 4 in second position? Did I miss something ?
