RPGs are great. I'm currently playing Octopath Traveler 2.

That new Monkey Island game, or any other adventure game, works great on Deck. Don't forget it has a touchscreen for your mouse input!

Rhythm games work great, no input lag.

I thought about the new Octopath but I thought if I was really going to invest time in an RPG why not go full final fantasy / chrono tiger / etc. It feels like the different characters is a bit of a gimmick, at least in the first one.

I thought this too before I bought it, but figured “what the hell” and bought it anyway.

I haven’t played the first one, but the second one is excellent and is my favorite game of the year so far, and probably last year too. And as already mentioned, it plays great on the Steam Deck.

I highly recommend it.

OK thanks for the recommendation then :) I might give it a try

Sure, those're great, too. I've played them a billion times already :)
