What shoots well on the deck?

    DOOM Eternal is playable even with raytracing on the Deck.

    Some more recommendations which run well:

    • Titanfall 2
    • Wolfenstein New Order
    • Terminator Resistance

    These should also run without any issue:

    • Prey
    • Deathloop
    • Dying Light
    • Halo Masterchief Collection
    • Alien: Isolation (not really a shooter)
    • System Shock Remake

    Just to name a few.

      id Software are just optimization wizards. DOOM Eternal works like a charm in almost all modern hardware.

    TF2, unironically. Gyro + Snap controls are super solid on TF2, particularly because of the reduced emphasis on long-range hitscan weapons.

    Here’s a really solid video about it: https://youtu.be/PJIqEX93vL8

    The only downside IMO is the iffy Wi-Fi performance on the Steam Deck.

    Deep Rock Galactic runs great and is a lot of fun. It is a bit of a battery hog though, so best plugged in or in short bursts.

    Boltgun runs fantastic and is a great boomer shooter. The cutscenes don’t work without a workaround, but there’s 4 total and none of them are important anyway.

    Doom Eternal runs beautifully, and is super action-packed and fun. Surprisingly good on the battery too for such nice graphics.

        Lol nothing like 3% battery warning as you scramble towards the drop pod to really put the fear of Karl in you!

        For real though a 25 minute mission easily eats 40%+ of the battery, no idea why it’s so energy intensive. Mind you I’ve done zero tinkering, just playing it out of the box, I’m sure you could juice some more life out of it if you tried

    Warhammer 40k Boltgun is super fun, though some people think it gets boring after the first few missions.

    There’s also Turbo Overkill, which definitely scratches that itch.

    There’s also Ultrakill, but I personally wasn’t too into that as someone who sometimes just wants to shoot shit on his deck. (it felt a bit too puzzly for my tastes, not a bad game just not what I was looking for)

    Edit: Boltgun required some media file conversions to prevent cutscenes from breaking on the deck. If you end up getting it, let me know and I’ll link to the steam community post that outlines the fixes you’ll need to make. Otherwise, though, a great game.
