The Deck has been my only gaming PC for a while lol
Same!
This might change next year, though… I see a Steam Machine in my future.
CK II on steamdeck? How easy is it to navigate the UI?
It takes a bit to figure out a good keybind setup and you have to use the trackpad for a lot of stuff, but it’s not too bad overall. It wasn’t inconvenient enough for me to grab my bluetooth keyboard at any point at least.
I only just installed GTA5 Enhanced Edition this month and it already took over as the most played game of the year 🤨
Didn’t Shadow of the Erdtree come out in the spring? My play time in ER is only slightly under GTA5EE and it was all I played through spring and summer.
How can they do a 2025 review when its still 2025? These reviews are getting earlier and earlier. Its becoming like the 2k games where you are buying 2k26 in the middle of 2025.
I’m one bad life event away from buying arma reforger. Please God be good to me next year. I cannot handle an arma addiction right now.

Buddy, NHL '94 on SNES came out in 1993, and NHLPA '93 came out a year earlier in 1992. Every year, cars come out with the next year’s model.
I think 2 weeks before the end of the year is pretty reasonable for a year’s review. That’s how everybody’s been doing reviews for a long time.
Why would you not dive into something that you clearly want man? Just do it!
Let it be the bad life event that it saves you from lol
Because i already have squad and the games are 1hr which is manageable. I cannot manage 7hr arms games
The review period runs from January 1 - December 14; I think that’s a pretty solid snapshot of a year.
The thing that gets me is they don’t count any offline time, so my hours of playing sitting in my vehicle don’t get logged.
Thank you! WTF
Year of the Linux desktop!
Here here!!!
How was E33 on the Deck? I didn’t play much of it there, I was afraid parries and dodges would be a bit of a nightmare to time perfectly.
It’s a lot better after the update a few days ago, but back when I played it I actually installed a performance mod to make it run a lot smoother. I thought it was very playable, but I’m also trash at dodging/parrying consistently. I’m assuming it was more of a skill issue than the game’s performance though.
That’s good, does it still look like shit though? So far it’s been a game I just only play on desktop
There are some video on youtube, it’s still kinda blurry but the game is still pretty beautiful imo. Definitely won’t look as good as it does on desktop.
Are there a lot of bots and casuals that keep these medians so low or do I need the get outside more?
The average steam user barely plays 8 hours in a week.
Bot accounts bringing avg down
Once again dominated by stardew valley for me
The steam deck is just too ideal of a form factor to play stardew valley, isn’t it
The only part I want to share is this:
You beast! I just managed to reach 58 days :(
Hail to the King, baby 😎
My favorite was all my playtime for 3 months, going thru the initial campaign, then fell off a cliff
I didn’t use a keyboard and mouse once.
All controllers or VR controllers.
If I had to guess, the game isn’t gamepad optimized i.e. CIV 5, so the game is marked as a keyboard game.
Just shows how well steam input works.
I guess so! I do use steam input. I bet it’s because I use a PS5 controller with Destiny 2. Even though it’s a Sony game, I don’t get native support.
Yeah I received similar wrong numbers. I am nearly 100% controller at this point but I got ~25% also.
I don’t play that much on the deck but had a couple of days off work because of sick kid so it was a life saver.
Chained Echoes was just fantastic
It really is. I’ve heard good about Sea of Stars, which is on my shortlist.
Sea of Stars just didn’t click for me. Having a cook fight side by side two trained-for-life combatants was terrible for immersion.
I like my stories to be a bit more gritty too, it feels sanitized.
Sea of Stars is one of my all time favourite game. I love nearly every aspect of the game.
But I can understand that some aspects of it can aim a specific type of players
Played it this year, too. The start felt a bit slow but I really loved it!
This, was a busy year. Silksong very much carried my Steam Deck usage.
