Recently finished Bioshock, Spec-Ops: The Line and Nier Automata (not so old, but played really well).

I’d love any suggestions for older AAA titles that are worth a play-through!

    My grip on AAA is definitely weak. but Stellaris works very well both in terms of performance and ability to work the interface; using and customizing a community profile recommended.

      Would you say any of the DLCs are a must? I’ve been enjoying the base game and can’t decide which ones to pick up.

        Utopia is pretty universally agreed to be the most important DLC. Past that, Overlord is a good pick since they’ve made vassals something you actually want beyond RP reasons and it makes them much more effective, plus it adds hyper relays. I like Galactic Paragons a lot, a lot of people think Federations and Apocalypse are pretty essential, and at that point you’re into picking and choosing what you’d like to have more of.

    Not that it’s old but I have been playing God of War 2018 on my Steam Deck and it’s been an absolute pleasure. The visuals are still amazing and the game runs really well. Get it during a Steam sale to save some cash.

      Thanks for reminding me!

      I played Horizon, and actually forgot GoW was available on Steam Deck. Hopefully the upcoming sale has a good deal on it!

    The Batman Arkham games

    The Witcher series

    Fallout series

    FYI: the next major Steam sale starts June 29th- I got all those Arkham games for 8 bucks last year, so make a list and wait a few weeks. You can join the rest of us who have 100 games bought for 80% off and 10% played 🤣

        Welcome! And say goodbye to your wallet :D

        But seriously, I’m curious why this is your first. Always stuck to console before? Finally got some extra spending money? New to gaming in general?

          Oh its been a long time!

          So my return to ‘PC gaming’, not console gaming, is the Steam Deck! First Steam account, first Steam sale (coming up). I’m so happy to have got this, really enjoying what is possible.

    As a father of 2 the steamdeck has been amazing for me! It’s allowed me to get back into games for short sprints.

    That said I’ve been revisiting:

    • doom
    • doom eternal (not so old)
    • the Wolfenstein series
    • days gone
