Hello peeps. Life’s thrown me some curve-balls recently, and I’d like a bit of an escape. Can anyone recommend a decent game in the vein of Skyrim, Fallout or Deus Ex/System Shock for the steam deck, that isn’t 25 or 30 quid please? Something on offer for less than a tenner would be ideal. I’m sure there are some great older RPGs out there that I’ve missed, the Deck is the first time I’ve got back into gaming for quite a few years, and while I’m sure I could quite happily just play Brotato for the next few years, I reckon there’s something a bit more immersive out there for me to find!

I would strongly recommend Disco Elysium, which is a very unique RPG with excellent writing.

Ok, this was on sale this weekend, and bugger me if this isn’t one of the weirdest, most amazing games I’ve played. I don’t always have the attention span to play a game through once of its not really gripping, but within a short while of starting this I knew I’m going to have to play it at least once more, it’s fantastic
