I only just got my deck and haven't been able to try it out yet, but I'm looking forward to No Mans Sky! It's my ultimate comfort game and now I can finally play it in bed or while on the road
@@lucidragon5260dude i’ve been wanting to check out no man’s sky especially on deck for a long ass time!! even tho it’s on switch my ultimate road trip/vacation comfort game is monster hunter rise! it’s on deck too try checking it out!
@@MajorPineapple I second that MH Rise recommendation. I put it down after putting in just over 200 hours on my switch, but maybe it's time to pick it up again on another handheld and start fresh! And definitely check out No Man's Sky if you get the chance. It goes on sale pretty frequently and takes up a surprisingly small amount of storage for what it offers
I can't believe you didn't include a metroidvania. Animal Well is under 40MB. Steam Deck users gravitate toward certain genres that compliment the Deck's convenience, and aren't held back by its limitations. That's why RPGs, Souls likes, roguelikes, and platformers are a few of the most played genres. Regardless of my opinion, I commend your creativity of fitting 7 games of unique genres within 50 gigs.
i’m not too into metroidvania’s & i went w/ steams most popular genre’s. i forgot to mention the souls genre was also in place of the RPG & i just wanted a lotta variety. i appreciate that man thank you! wanted it to be interesting & not cop out w/ a game like lego marvel that has racing segments too or something
@@joogled1839 true, plus it’s kind of a cop out as a content creator to go “just emulate all these games” it doesn’t bring me any challenge or fun to discover underrated hidden gems
Best replay value and performance for the SD, for less than 30GB total: Shooting: Friends vs Friends Platformer: Levelhead Open World: Cloudpunk Racing: Inertial Drift
It's interesting to see different people's selections to go on their steam deck. I will sacrifice the hundred gigs to cyberpunk just to have something like that remotely. And then I'll fill it in with a bunch of other misc games. I don't have my deck right in front of me or I'd make a big list but there's just a ton of great games that run fantastic on the Deck.
GREAT video =) Loved the fact there are games on here that arent on every other list.. Anothers Crab Treasure - Straight on the wishlist Only just got my steamdeck - Keep up the hardwork 🎉
I like this idea. My 7 games would be Souls like: another crab's treasure(6gb) Shooter: Risk of rain 2(8gb+8gb for dlc) freeroam: goat simulator 3(12gb) Puzzle: sky children of light(3gb) Fighting: Rounds(3gb) Platformer: penny's big breakaway(3gb) Racing: trackmainia(3gb) 36gb base or 44gb with ror2 dlc I know other games have dlc, but they feel great without it, but gearbox balances the base game around the dlc, so it becomes essential

lost world felt like the team said "hey, you know that classic sonic momentum and gameplay everyone loves...? yeah, let's take it 3d and throw out all the other enhancements we gave modern sonic over the years. I know boost formula games aren't seen very well today but I loved that style of 3d sonic. I'm actually going to grab the new version of generations.
@@GlitchedVision bro sonic x shadow generations looks so sick! and yeah lost world was definitely it’s own beast but it’s a lot better if you see it as a wacky experimental thing
@@MajorPineapple yup, but they sure do love copying Nintendo's homework as the basis of their experimentation, first we saw Sonic Galaxy and now we have Sonic of the Wild :D both good games though if you can get past their quirks.
Although the steam deck struggles with them a bit, the 3 games I play most on mine are Helldivers 2, Witchfire, and World War Z (I like shooters). But some other favorite deck games of mine are TMNT shredders revenge, remnant 1, streets of rage 4, dead cells, Dysmantle, hades, and all the borderlands games.
1. Binding of Isaac Rebirth 2. Dwarf fortress 3. UFO 50 4. Celeste 5. Stardew Valley 6. Terraria 7. Yakuza 0 I went for more of a "stranded on an island" perspective. 1000s of hours worth of games up there
The list is cool and all but apart from getting one of every game genre, is more up to the person style to pick more replayability games. For me, it falls under this list of mostly simulators (well hitman is a hitman simulator after all) - Hitman 3 (huge, perfect fun stealthy and freelancer mode = infinity) - DRG (because perfection) - Satisfactory/Factorio (YESSS) - Stardew Valley (of course) - And well I can even put some EuroTruck for some driving fun, even if I prefer controling on wheel xD
@@MajorPineapple yeah, it is kind of hard to get into it maybe, but maybe there is something to you! I actually entered the genre on some cleaning and cooking simulators (house flipper and overcooked/cooking simulator for example), and farming (stardew valley), but I actually went all in on automation games, and thaaats the coolest xD... shapez, factorio, satisfactory, there is ALOT XD
There's a game you might like @majorpineapple it's called American Fugitive. It's like the first 2 GTAs, but with a more modern look, not intentionally retro like Hot Line Miami
Love the video conceot but i cant believe you didnt include an RPG so many good ones with small file sizes on deck and they are def one of the most popular genres rn Baldurs Gate has been #1 on deck leaderboards for so long
yeah dude i totally forgot to mention that i used the souls like genre AS the rpg haha games like baldurs gate tho that style i feel rarely work on a platform like steamdeck so i didn’t do it
Short list of some to consider putting in the next list like this: Arafell - 1gb 94% positive Sea of Stars - 4gb 88% positive Coromon - 1gb 87% positive Disco Elysium - 10gb 93% positive Dusk Diver - 4gb 86% positive Elder Scrolls 4 - 6gb 95% positive Fallout New Vegas - 7gb 96% pos Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - 4gb 91% positive Persona 4 Golden - 10gb 97% positive Tokyo Xanadu - 6gb 86% positive And oh so many more rpgs are one of the top genres on deck def include at least one if you ever make another one of these!
@MajorPineapple ehhhhh yeah I guess souls likes are technically rpgs but they are such a majorly different vibe for a majorly different type of gamer than most rpgs
I think Snake Pass is an underappreciated gem from Sumo Digital. :) 3.36GB! It's hard to define the genre though, I would call it a movement-based puzzle game. And the fun factor really lies within mastering snake slithering around various maps and hazards. Great fun for what it is! Unique and fresh concept in a stagnated AAA gaming market.
@@MajorPineapple yeah, you just won't see many servers, as most players are on Windows and use the newer third party launchers such as *IWX4* and *Plutonium* which offer a new segregated net code and anti-cheat. These can be easily setup from desktop mode using Bottles. Lemme know if you need help setting things up.
I love the arcadey action of Saints Row! Soulslikes are too frustrating for me. I like rpgs that get easier as i get progress through the game not harder!
@@ziljin saints row is the shit bro! i get that about souls games too but i feel like it doesn’t get easier, you just get better & i really like that! it’s what makes me love monster hunter
saints row was originally going to be a ps2 game but in 04 gta SA came out and made the people at volistion rethink the games strategy and re write alot of the games themes: the game was going to be more griddy and have alot to do with gang on gang territory like GTA SA and they dint wanna be seen as copy cats even though the games where in development pretty much 2002 and on ward like gta sa. so they switched from griddy to campy. and with that change so did the platform from the ps2 to xbox 360 some time during 04. fun fact about the dev kit for the xbox 360 its a power mac G5 with ati Radeon 9800 pro gpu, and why ? well the mac used power pc and the xbox 360 was also going to use power pc.
Some games I liked to play on Steam Deck (that I wouldn't have somewhere else) are Tales of Arise, Hellblade (messed me up a few days ago), FF15, Dishonored, Scarlet Nexus and Combat Master is nice.
scarlet nexus is fire! i had it on my series s but never beat it lol i have it on steam but haven’t touched it yet. the tales of games are pretty rad too! what’s combat master i’ve never heard of it
@MajorPineapple Very neat games indeed. Combat Master is a free shooter game Verified on Deck and it's my replacement to COD. Movement is great and the snipers feel amazing (I use the right touchpad as a mouse, which is the best to play with).
@MajorPineapple I was also surprised to have found it. It is good enough graphics, run amazing on Deck, doesn't use much battery life and I only encountered one guy floating on top of the map shooting everyone ending with a 50+ kills match out of the many games (nice).
@@herogames935 yeah i got the DI Trilogy it ain’t half bad! i personally just enjoy swinging in that sandbox w/ the disney castle.. idky but seeing that castle gives me this unfathomable sense of serenity
@MajorPineapple fun fact while optional I do recommend trying to mod 3.0 cause it's been made much easier and it adds the battlegrounds content which they left out of the base game
vampires survivors looks mad sick! i just got a keg for a game called vampire hunters i wanna make a video on it! i’ve been wanting to try hades for a fat minute too
@@MajorPineapple the first time I played it despite not hating it - I kind of understood what it was trying to do - but it just didn’t got my attention when compared with other games. But then I got to try it some time later and had quite a bit of fun actually. Just like you said.
@@MajorPineapple I hope you do. I look forward to it. It is really cool. Keep in mind that if you're not into survival games and just want a good crafting, story driven game, the total customization of the game mode is such a great feature. You can turn off item degradation, speed of Time, rate of hunger/thirst/stamina, pet invulnerability, fall damage, food spoiling, so many things!! Play the way you want.
@@e354s45 dude someone else recommended that game i gave it a shot and WOW! looks like CoD 4 but plays like the newest CoD.. PERFECT! and it’s got a pretty big player base too!
@@MajorPineapple it’s been a great one! I’ll play it at work on my steam deck, plays perfectly online, then I can get right on my pc when I get home without skipping a beat!
@@meetpanchal470 here’s the one i use - it says switch & “gaming devices”, and from what i looked up customers had no issues w/ it using it on steamdeck a.co/d/8ZLahpK
Battlebit (as 99% of the steam games) has Community controller profiles reachable in steamOS. And.... why you're not using Gyro? All fps becomes playable with minimum learning curve
@@Hadrhune0 i haven’t tried any FPS deck games w/ gyro but i should! i like GYRO a lot too but i think overall hit or miss but when it does hit it’s lethal yo send a link about the community controller profiles that’s badass! i was just going for like install & play not having to finagle about all that jazz keep it simple you know?
@@MajorPineapple you'll be amazed by this: press the "STEAM" button on your steam deck > Controller Settings > again, Controller settings > here it shows: "Using template " click on it > R1 > Community layouts. And for each game you have all the templates to try from other players. Otherwise, in Templates, you can try "Gamepad with Gyro" which is a solid base to the customize the missing buttons and the gyro behaviour. But usually some community profile that fits perfectly is already available
I have a rule for my SteamDeck Games that demand a lot of button smash are a big NO for me Because the Deck is not as simple as the Switch that I can just go and buy a new pair of joycons I gonna have to open, try to repair, meeeh So games like Devil My Cry, Fighting games and the Cuphead you showed are outside of the SteamDeck bucket for me But one game I loved on my Deck is Gears 5 Geez it runs so well, almost flawless 60 FPS, and it looks amazing (my Deck is the regular one is not even OLED) It's not a good game for the purpose of this video because is a massive game, 100+ GB Anyway great video, I love portable gadgets Currently have the Switch, Deck, PSP, 3DS XL (the same for over 10 years), Meta Quest 3 and I think my gaming laptop counts
Meta Quest 3 is a hell of a portable gadget, is a Standalone VR/AR headset It comes with a browser so I can do silly thinks such as putting a giant browser screen at my wall, pair my Xbox controller and play SNES emulation in the browser Also the mixed reality games are fun, it reminds me of Spirit Camera on 3DS I am really a handheld enthusiast, everything that can play games and I can take with me easily makes me excited I gonna to a friends birthday some months ago, and took the Quest with me so he could play RE4 in VR The best part is that I had to only take Quest with me and nothing else, because it runs from his own hardware
@@ZFCaio hell yeah dawg! i wanna try gears 5 on deck so bad! i got my switch, deck, new 3ds xl and hopefully i’ll snag a meta quest 3 at some point! i love handheld gaming bro it’s my favorite outlet to enjoy this medium
@@MajorPineapple I am not sure about the Expansion HiveBusters because I didn't played yet, but GEARS 5 base game runs FLAWLESS on Deck if you configure well (I don't remember my settings, but certain things were on high). I strongly recommend the Quest 3, is the Handheld VR Can't wait for Switch 2 also
@@ZFCaio imma definitely wishlist gears 5 if i haven’t already! switch 2 yeah when that drops imma be doing content on that! and apparently you can use the meta quest 3 on your steamdeck!
@@MajorPineapple Yes, you can use as a big screen for your Deck, but I didn't tried yet (I am lazy low, never tried stuff on my Deck, I just use to play some of my Steam games)
@@MajorPineapple tboi is a whole story, really, there's just so much about it. A blast to get into even right now, with all the additions and updates - but it was such an experience to start with the original flash version, the see the DLCs, then rebirth, etc, etc. Beautiful. Still haven't unlocked everything over 600 hours (rookie numbers) Since you're here - great video, thanks! I don't own a Steam Deck lol but it's always fun to see people brainstorm perfect libraries for its limitations. Big thanks for keeping it Linux, as it's just a better way to run the whole thing (with the battery life, hardware longevity, openness, etc).
I have 158 installed on my steam deck. A 2 terabyte SSD and 1.5 terabyte SD card. And about the same on my ROG ally bit less co's that is 3 terabytes. I have 8 terabytes on my gaming PC plus 2 terabytes on HDD. So 10 terabytes. on my PC. so yeah lots of games. Oh and 512Gb on my Quest 3 all full up as well.
@@Steelninja77 bro i love VR gaming - definitely aiming for a quest 3 cuz you can also use it on deck! how’s starfield it kinda died off if i’m not mistaken yeah?
Great games and solid video! The Steam Deck is such an amazing device. Here is a list of some games that are super small (less than 5 gigs each) and run on the Deck really well that I just want to recommend: Balatro Buckshot Roulette Bug Fables Celeste COCOON Cult of the Lamb Dead Cells Deaths Door Distance Dome Keeper Dredge Inscryption Lego Star Wars (old complete collection) Minishoot Adventures Slime Rancher Stardew Valley Undertale Vampire Survivors .....just to name a few :)
@@guryurfur528 bro thank you so much! and thanks for YOUR recommendations! i don’t have the complete saga i got skywalker saga (tbh i prefer the new one more but the classic will always hold a place in my heart) these are all great games too!
@@MajorPineapple I new on Fallout 76, maybe 3 month ago i play this game buy it on discount, and i really love this game and hooked, rrally love making camp, collecting junk and this my cozy game on my deck, nice to meet ya btw, sorry for my broken english
@@kepalakardus2278 nah dude you’re fine your english is better than mine haha that’s awesome bro i’m happy you’re digging F76 so much! we all need a comfy game like that in our library’s
Small nitpick, but technically the base 64GB steam deck isn't the base model anymore, Valve has said that once the current supply of them is gone, and after I just checked steam, it's out of stock, so probably gone for good The new base model is the 256GB model Yea I know it's a small nitpick, but going forward no one's actually going to be buying the 64GB model so that restriction feels a bit redundant
@@MajorPineappleAbout 1 year ago when they released the OLED Steam Deck. Phasing out of the 64GB and 512GB LCD models was made clear at the same time.
Someone actually like SR4! I thought Im the only one 😂 while the mission structure sucks fishballs, the superpowers are fun to play with. Also, no farming games? For shame.

honestly i went for a same perspective on mine lol
exquisite game taste my friend!
Repentance*
@@MajorPineapple You as well!
The list is cool and all but apart from getting one of every game genre, is more up to the person style to pick more replayability games. For me, it falls under this list of mostly simulators (well hitman is a hitman simulator after all)
- Hitman 3 (huge, perfect fun stealthy and freelancer mode = infinity)
- DRG (because perfection)
- Satisfactory/Factorio (YESSS)
- Stardew Valley (of course)
- And well I can even put some EuroTruck for some driving fun, even if I prefer controling on wheel xD
@@apneroh hit man is a hit man simulator lol
i tried the simulator style games but they don’t really hook me, but goat simulator is gas haha
@@MajorPineapple yeah, it is kind of hard to get into it maybe, but maybe there is something to you! I actually entered the genre on some cleaning and cooking simulators (house flipper and overcooked/cooking simulator for example), and farming (stardew valley), but I actually went all in on automation games, and thaaats the coolest xD... shapez, factorio, satisfactory, there is ALOT XD
@@apneroh yeah i’ll definitely try checking some out homeboy!
Great tips, thanks a lot
@@ElisBuenas82 thanks kielbasa!!
There's a game you might like @majorpineapple it's called American Fugitive. It's like the first 2 GTAs, but with a more modern look, not intentionally retro like Hot Line Miami
@@ElisBuenas82 i’m trying to find it but it’s not showing up on steam, can you send a link pls?
All I need is 3 games, Skyrim, Stardew valley, and Terraria. Total its 15 gb.
peak gaming under 15GB!
Garden Warfare 2 used to work on SteamOS. EA blocked it this year. Now we can't have nice things.
@@Aethelbeorn that’s so whack bro that shit has me so heated
That gasp for Triple A games startled me lol
“Surrry aboot that!”
- NicePool 2024
Love the video conceot but i cant believe you didnt include an RPG so many good ones with small file sizes on deck and they are def one of the most popular genres rn Baldurs Gate has been #1 on deck leaderboards for so long
yeah dude i totally forgot to mention that i used the souls like genre AS the rpg haha
games like baldurs gate tho that style i feel rarely work on a platform like steamdeck so i didn’t do it
Short list of some to consider putting in the next list like this:
Arafell - 1gb 94% positive
Sea of Stars - 4gb 88% positive
Coromon - 1gb 87% positive
Disco Elysium - 10gb 93% positive
Dusk Diver - 4gb 86% positive
Elder Scrolls 4 - 6gb 95% positive
Fallout New Vegas - 7gb 96% pos
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - 4gb 91% positive
Persona 4 Golden - 10gb 97% positive
Tokyo Xanadu - 6gb 86% positive
And oh so many more rpgs are one of the top genres on deck def include at least one if you ever make another one of these!
@MajorPineapple ehhhhh yeah I guess souls likes are technically rpgs but they are such a majorly different vibe for a majorly different type of gamer than most rpgs
I think Snake Pass is an underappreciated gem from Sumo Digital. :) 3.36GB! It's hard to define the genre though, I would call it a movement-based puzzle game. And the fun factor really lies within mastering snake slithering around various maps and hazards. Great fun for what it is! Unique and fresh concept in a stagnated AAA gaming market.
@@PixelShade i remember seeing switchforce look at that it always looked so nifty & fun!
I’m playing a lot of split second for racing on my SD and I’m having a lot of fun

The RCE exploits for older CoDs don't work against Linux lol. Its only Windows that is susceptible to the RCE in older CoD titles.
@@thatzaliasguy YO FR?!? good to know! so i can play like Blops 2 or MW2 online multiplayer on my steamdeck & not worry about them fucking my shit up?
@@MajorPineapple yeah, you just won't see many servers, as most players are on Windows and use the newer third party launchers such as *IWX4* and *Plutonium* which offer a new segregated net code and anti-cheat. These can be easily setup from desktop mode using Bottles. Lemme know if you need help setting things up.

@@DaoistYeashikAli i wanna give those game a shot - not too much of an RPG guy personally but they’re too critically acclaimed to ignore
I wasn't able to enjoy them due to the SD screen size
@@BlobBlobkins yeah i noticed that the screen size mattered when i was playing sonic lost world tbh, hard to keep track of where you are on screen
I love the arcadey action of Saints Row! Soulslikes are too frustrating for me. I like rpgs that get easier as i get progress through the game not harder!
@@ziljin saints row is the shit bro!
i get that about souls games too but i feel like it doesn’t get easier, you just get better & i really like that! it’s what makes me love monster hunter
saints row was originally going to be a ps2 game but in 04 gta SA came out and made the people at volistion rethink the games strategy and re write alot of the games themes: the game was going to be more griddy and have alot to do with gang on gang territory like GTA SA and they dint wanna be seen as copy cats even though the games where in development pretty much 2002 and on ward like gta sa. so they switched from griddy to campy. and with that change so did the platform from the ps2 to xbox 360 some time during 04. fun fact about the dev kit for the xbox 360 its a power mac G5 with ati Radeon 9800 pro gpu, and why ? well the mac used power pc and the xbox 360 was also going to use power pc.

reTHAWed and Project Brutality are the only 2 GAMES you'll ever need.

Some games I liked to play on Steam Deck (that I wouldn't have somewhere else) are Tales of Arise, Hellblade (messed me up a few days ago), FF15, Dishonored, Scarlet Nexus and Combat Master is nice.
scarlet nexus is fire! i had it on my series s but never beat it lol i have it on steam but haven’t touched it yet. the tales of games are pretty rad too!
what’s combat master i’ve never heard of it
@MajorPineapple Very neat games indeed.
Combat Master is a free shooter game Verified on Deck and it's my replacement to COD. Movement is great and the snipers feel amazing (I use the right touchpad as a mouse, which is the best to play with).
@McSmurfy WHAAAATT BRO IM DOWNLOADING THAT RIGHT NOW!!!!
@MajorPineapple I was also surprised to have found it. It is good enough graphics, run amazing on Deck, doesn't use much battery life and I only encountered one guy floating on top of the map shooting everyone ending with a 50+ kills match out of the many games (nice).

@@Hadrhune0 i haven’t tried any FPS deck games w/ gyro but i should! i like GYRO a lot too but i think overall hit or miss but when it does hit it’s lethal
yo send a link about the community controller profiles that’s badass! i was just going for like install & play not having to finagle about all that jazz keep it simple you know?
@@MajorPineapple you'll be amazed by this: press the "STEAM" button on your steam deck > Controller Settings > again, Controller settings > here it shows: "Using template " click on it > R1 > Community layouts. And for each game you have all the templates to try from other players. Otherwise, in Templates, you can try "Gamepad with Gyro" which is a solid base to the customize the missing buttons and the gyro behaviour. But usually some community profile that fits perfectly is already available
No sandbox or cozy game? Terraria, stardew?

@@DavidBerger-g2h dude i gotta play it w/ the boys!!
Beyond Shadowgate. 30 MB.

I have a rule for my SteamDeck
Games that demand a lot of button smash are a big NO for me
Because the Deck is not as simple as the Switch that I can just go and buy a new pair of joycons
I gonna have to open, try to repair, meeeh
So games like Devil My Cry, Fighting games and the Cuphead you showed are outside of the SteamDeck bucket for me
But one game I loved on my Deck is Gears 5
Geez it runs so well, almost flawless 60 FPS, and it looks amazing (my Deck is the regular one is not even OLED)
It's not a good game for the purpose of this video because is a massive game, 100+ GB
Anyway great video,
I love portable gadgets
Currently have the Switch, Deck, PSP, 3DS XL (the same for over 10 years), Meta Quest 3 and I think my gaming laptop counts
Meta Quest 3 is a hell of a portable gadget, is a Standalone VR/AR headset
It comes with a browser so I can do silly thinks such as putting a giant browser screen at my wall, pair my Xbox controller and play SNES emulation in the browser
Also the mixed reality games are fun, it reminds me of Spirit Camera on 3DS
I am really a handheld enthusiast, everything that can play games and I can take with me easily makes me excited
I gonna to a friends birthday some months ago, and took the Quest with me so he could play RE4 in VR
The best part is that I had to only take Quest with me and nothing else, because it runs from his own hardware
@@ZFCaio hell yeah dawg! i wanna try gears 5 on deck so bad!

Still haven't unlocked everything over 600 hours (rookie numbers)
Since you're here - great video, thanks! I don't own a Steam Deck lol but it's always fun to see people brainstorm perfect libraries for its limitations. Big thanks for keeping it Linux, as it's just a better way to run the whole thing (with the battery life, hardware longevity, openness, etc).
I have 158 installed on my steam deck. A 2 terabyte SSD and 1.5 terabyte SD card. And about the same on my ROG ally bit less co's that is 3 terabytes.
