If you're looking for the best Steam Deck games, you're in the right place. Despite running on Linux, the\u00a0Steam Deck\u00a0uses an overlay that increases the number of titles compatible with the machine. This initially caused lots of bugs and incompatibility issues, but this year, Valve and the community have taken unprecedented efforts to resolve these issues and make the majority of Steam's library run well. This includes many of 2023\u2019s best games, which just so happen to play best on the\u00a0Deck. Hi-Fi Rush A surprise throwback from the director of Resident Evil 4, Hi-Fi Rush combines 3D brawling and rhythm game mechanics in one of the most innovative AAA games this year. If you\u2019re a fan of the bold, punk inspired cell shaded art style seen in games like Borderlands and Jet Set Radio, Hi-Fi Rush modernizes the look with futuristic environments full of detail. Hi-Fi Rush runs at a full 60fps on the deck using medium settings, which is paramount for a game reliant on timing. Using a controller is also the best way to play, so the Steam Deck\u2019s default control scheme doesn\u2019t feel compromised when playing this title. On top of this, Hi-Fi Rush has cross-save via the Bethesda and Microsoft accounts, meaning you can play across multiple devices without any worries. Lies of P One of 2023\u2019s best Soulslikes runs surprisingly well on the Steam Deck and is highly recommended for those that enjoy a twisted take on classic stories. If you\u2019ve never heard of it,\u00a0Lies of P\u00a0is a reimagining of Pinocchio with the mood and combat that rivals some of the best games in the genre. Despite sounding like a gimmick, the story manages to fit Soulsborne traits in a natural and often heart wrenching manner. Lies of P\u00a0doesn't run as well as some of the other games on this list, averaging around 45fps on the default settings, which is pretty impressive considering the game's graphical fidelity. If you want the game to run better, you can always set the graphics to low or set the Steam Deck's refresh rate to 45 to get a consistent performance without sacrificing the spectacular visuals.\u00a0 Sonic Superstars The latest game in the\u00a0Sonic\u00a0series is a throwback that adds new mechanics to level designs inspired by the classic Genesis platformers. Each level can be played using a different playstyle by selecting each of the main cast alongside newcomer Trip. There are also new power-ups that involve the chaos emeralds, which brings a fresh spin to old ideas. Sonic Superstars runs much better on Steam Deck than other portable platforms, so it's a great fit.\u00a0 Dave the Diver One of the highest rated games of the year,\u00a0Dave the Diver\u00a0feels like a mix of\u00a0Subnautica\u00a0and\u00a0Papa\u2019s Pizzeria,\u00a0and sees you hunting sea creatures and selling them at your sushi shop. The addictive gameplay loop is accompanied by a gorgeous pixel art style that looks and runs beautifully on the Steam Deck.\u00a0 Dredge If the idea of a psychological horror\/fishing game sounds intriguing, then\u00a0Dredge\u00a0is a must play title. This casual, narrative driven game takes a dark turn when the morality of hunting and gutting fish is called into question, and it only gets darker from that point forward. Each season has a unique color palette that pops on the Steam Deck\u2019s\u00a0screen, and it runs at 60fps, twice as fast as its Switch counterpart. Pizza Tower Pizza Tower\u00a0took the internet by storm midway through 2023 with chaotic platforming reminiscent of the\u00a0Wario Land\u00a0games. This off-the-wall delivery game has protagonist Peppino fight off demonic topping inspired bosses and play through perplexing mechanics that change with each level. This is one of the only ways to play\u00a0Pizza Tower,\u00a0as it hasn't been released outside of Steam and a DRM-free download.\u00a0 Cassette Beasts Cassette Beasts is a refreshing creature-catching RPG that blends the open world exploration of modern Pok\u00e9mon titles with a unique combat system that feels fresh to fans of the genre. Like many other games that adopt a pixel art style, it runs beautifully on the Steam Deck. Combat encounters encourage experimentation with all your companions, as attacks can be combined to great effect. You can even fuse two monsters together to create a beast with the combined strengths of both. On top of this, effects and type advantages are more dynamic and in-depth than Pok\u00e9mon, and often result in type changes: For instance, Ice-type monsters are turned into Water-types when they're hit with Fire attacks.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Steam-Deck-Render-showing-Dredge-and-Lies-of-P.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020082"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2285"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020082"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1057182,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020082\/revisions\/1057182"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1023619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1020082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

If you're looking for the best Steam Deck games, you're in the right place. Despite running on Linux, the\u00a0Steam Deck\u00a0uses an overlay that increases the number of titles compatible with the machine. This initially caused lots of bugs and incompatibility issues, but this year, Valve and the community have taken unprecedented efforts to resolve these issues and make the majority of Steam's library run well. This includes many of 2023\u2019s best games, which just so happen to play best on the\u00a0Deck. Hi-Fi Rush A surprise throwback from the director of Resident Evil 4, Hi-Fi Rush combines 3D brawling and rhythm game mechanics in one of the most innovative AAA games this year. If you\u2019re a fan of the bold, punk inspired cell shaded art style seen in games like Borderlands and Jet Set Radio, Hi-Fi Rush modernizes the look with futuristic environments full of detail. Hi-Fi Rush runs at a full 60fps on the deck using medium settings, which is paramount for a game reliant on timing. Using a controller is also the best way to play, so the Steam Deck\u2019s default control scheme doesn\u2019t feel compromised when playing this title. On top of this, Hi-Fi Rush has cross-save via the Bethesda and Microsoft accounts, meaning you can play across multiple devices without any worries. Lies of P One of 2023\u2019s best Soulslikes runs surprisingly well on the Steam Deck and is highly recommended for those that enjoy a twisted take on classic stories. If you\u2019ve never heard of it,\u00a0Lies of P\u00a0is a reimagining of Pinocchio with the mood and combat that rivals some of the best games in the genre. Despite sounding like a gimmick, the story manages to fit Soulsborne traits in a natural and often heart wrenching manner. Lies of P\u00a0doesn't run as well as some of the other games on this list, averaging around 45fps on the default settings, which is pretty impressive considering the game's graphical fidelity. If you want the game to run better, you can always set the graphics to low or set the Steam Deck's refresh rate to 45 to get a consistent performance without sacrificing the spectacular visuals.\u00a0 Sonic Superstars The latest game in the\u00a0Sonic\u00a0series is a throwback that adds new mechanics to level designs inspired by the classic Genesis platformers. Each level can be played using a different playstyle by selecting each of the main cast alongside newcomer Trip. There are also new power-ups that involve the chaos emeralds, which brings a fresh spin to old ideas. Sonic Superstars runs much better on Steam Deck than other portable platforms, so it's a great fit.\u00a0 Dave the Diver One of the highest rated games of the year,\u00a0Dave the Diver\u00a0feels like a mix of\u00a0Subnautica\u00a0and\u00a0Papa\u2019s Pizzeria,\u00a0and sees you hunting sea creatures and selling them at your sushi shop. The addictive gameplay loop is accompanied by a gorgeous pixel art style that looks and runs beautifully on the Steam Deck.\u00a0 Dredge If the idea of a psychological horror\/fishing game sounds intriguing, then\u00a0Dredge\u00a0is a must play title. This casual, narrative driven game takes a dark turn when the morality of hunting and gutting fish is called into question, and it only gets darker from that point forward. Each season has a unique color palette that pops on the Steam Deck\u2019s\u00a0screen, and it runs at 60fps, twice as fast as its Switch counterpart. Pizza Tower Pizza Tower\u00a0took the internet by storm midway through 2023 with chaotic platforming reminiscent of the\u00a0Wario Land\u00a0games. This off-the-wall delivery game has protagonist Peppino fight off demonic topping inspired bosses and play through perplexing mechanics that change with each level. This is one of the only ways to play\u00a0Pizza Tower,\u00a0as it hasn't been released outside of Steam and a DRM-free download.\u00a0 Cassette Beasts Cassette Beasts is a refreshing creature-catching RPG that blends the open world exploration of modern Pok\u00e9mon titles with a unique combat system that feels fresh to fans of the genre. Like many other games that adopt a pixel art style, it runs beautifully on the Steam Deck. Combat encounters encourage experimentation with all your companions, as attacks can be combined to great effect. You can even fuse two monsters together to create a beast with the combined strengths of both. On top of this, effects and type advantages are more dynamic and in-depth than Pok\u00e9mon, and often result in type changes: For instance, Ice-type monsters are turned into Water-types when they're hit with Fire attacks.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Steam-Deck-Render-showing-Dredge-and-Lies-of-P.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020082"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2285"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020082"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1057182,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020082\/revisions\/1057182"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1023619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1020082"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1020082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
