Not sure what it says about the current state of gaming that so many of these games are quite old
Not much? I eyeball it as about 1/4 of the games being in the last two years. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
If an actual majority were brand new games it would just tell you that PC gamers (or at least steam deck) are just chasing novelty over quality. It's OK not to play every brand new game right on release, and it's OK to play older games.
It looks like 1/4 of the games were released in the last 2 months(ish) lol:
-Baldur's Gate 3
-Dave the Diver
-Armored Core 6
-Holocure
-Remnant 2
If I'm counting it right, half of the games were released in the last 2 years
Yeah, I didn't search. Just did the ones I immediately recognized as recent big budget ones.
HoloCure is an exception I’d say: It was on itch.io for almost a year before the recent Steam release.
It's the Steam Deck. Older games are gonna run better.
Nah last few years have released some of the best games of all time. Just this year alone we got TOTK and Baulders Gate 3. Gaming is in really good shape right now.
I think it says far more about the capabilities of the steam deck. The thing is perfect for older, less intensive titles. I wouldn't expect this list to be filled with new releases.
Yeah I prefer to play more demanding games on my PC and up the graphics
