I have 25GB-ish left on my steam deck. I like to save space for saves and stuff, so im looking for a game under 20.
Whats a fun small-med sized game youve been playing?
EDIT!!
Awesome suggestions so far everyone. I picked up the following games right now:
Farcry Primal
Mina the Hollower
Animal Well
Streets of Rogue
Deep Rock Galactic
Heart of the Machine
Inscryption
Moonrise Fall
Slay the Spire
I’m saving this post for future use
Outer Wilds is 8GB, and the best puzzle/mystery game I have ever played. The less you know about the game up front, the better.
Already installed:)
Give it a shot with the mods after you finish the game (+dlc) too, a lot of them are great! I tried the archipelago randomizer today along with ship enhancements on max random difficulty, it is a wild time.
Also wanted to rec a game like Lorn’s Lure, White Knuckle, or Idols of Ash (fair warning, I picked up the last one just yesterday, but it is pretty high rated and seems like Lorn’s Lure which I had a great time with). Those are unrelated to Outer Wilds, but didn’t want to leave multiple comments
I’ve looked at mods for Outer wilds before. I did like the VO mod. Most of the actors are decent enough to work.
Ill look up those other games, thanks!
Balatro is tiny, like 150 MB tiny. And endlessly playable. If you like poker and/or rogue likes it’s pound for pound one of the best deals out there both money and memory wise
Already addicted lol
Balatro and Slay The Spire 2 are roguelikes that have a lot of replayability.
Trackmania, you can give it a shot with Nations Forever it’s free on steam. Turbo/TM2 are graphically improved versions of it, 2020 is the newest one that most people play but has a lot of its features locked behind a yearly subscription. Go with the previous ones if offline play is a must.
Baba Is You is a real brain burner puzzle game that makes you think out of the box a lot of time.
If you havent yet played Portal / Portal 2, together they are about 20 Gigs, and are both very good, genre and generation defining games.
I give you two more to play:
Portal Revolution
Portal ReloadedYou can find both in the steam store
Also Postal 1 and 2. Great games. First one is kinda a twinstick shooter, second one more a do what you want game.
Factorio if you like building, optimizing and automating. Game is about 5 GB.
That game really needs a warning 1500 hours and counting.
I’m at 1690 hours myself and really hasn’t delved too much into mods yet…
Even with the added gamepad controls i cant get into this game. I also played satisfactory and ran into the same roadblock. Im just not tuned to create machins like that.
Same… and I feel like I’m missing out ;-;
I just got sucked into Planet Crafter for like a week. So i figured im primed for satisfactory. But no, the loop is just over my head in the “build machines” genre
Genre/type of game you like most?
This is asking for suggestions. I have 58+ games on my deck. Im just looking for that last piece of the puzzle before i lose internet again.
Streets Of rogue
60 seconds! Reatomized
Sleeping dogs
Hand of fate 2
Far cry 3
Dragon age origins
Cult of the lamb
Fallout: new vegas
Of those I’ve played new vegas, dragon age, sleeping dogs, and just got cult of the lamb last week! I’ll have to look into streets of rogue
Its a fun little game for sure there is a sequel coming out too.
Just went thru the tutorial and looked at the characters. Seems pretty cool, i think I’ll like it
Its a good time killer!
I panicked while being chased by the police cuz i turned the power off, ran down an alley, and tossed a landmine directly infront on myself lol boom
Animal Well 35Mb
Looks great. Sold
Have you tried Inscryption
That’s a trip, i love it.
I suck in the over world area though.Edit: fuck it. Im reinstalling it!
This is also my recommendation, great game. So replayable
Is the leshi section random? That’s the only way i could see it having replayability. (But i never beat the full game, so idk)
You can get a mod that makes it endless, I’m not sure about the randomness, I never got too far into it before discovering Hades
Both Hades and Hades II are about 11GB. Either one will fit or you could increase your limit just a bit and fit both.
My indie action platformer No More Mages is in early access (with a free demo) if you feel like taking a shot at a truly unknown game! More being added soon.
This is what im talking about, real indie games baby. Love it
Celeste, tricky towers
Man I can only get past the default missions in Celeste, im not doing that to myself right now lol
(Great game)
I haven’t tried it yet, but Mina the Hollower just released and seems really cool. Should be way less than 20 GB.
Ohh that looks fun, thank you!
Gotta plug my friends games, not that they’re unknown, just the first things that come to mind and they’re all small to small-ish in size (I think they might even be under 20gb for all combined).
Hotline Miami
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
Raft
Sea Salt
Post Void
Keep DrivingThe Hotlines are great
I do have raft. But it’s a little wonky with a gamepad so i rarely load it up
I developed my taste in PC games before I had a graphics card, so…
- Baba Is You, a minimalist puzzle game with a Portal’s worth of perception bending
- Hypnospace Outlaw, a story-driven 90’s-styled computer/internet simulator with a shocking amount of good diegetic indie music. Like, more than one entire album.
- Celeste
I’ve already played these games to death and back so I haven’t really been playing them in the present tense
Haven’t seen anyone mention Slay the Spire yet. The original is under 600MB and the sequel (early-access) is 2GB. They’re both good! The first one is maybe a little easier, if you’ve never played them.
I do have the first one. Thats a great idea
