albeit locked system files make some advanced setups a headache

You could install something like CachyOS Handheld Edition. It still has SteamOS’ game mode but also comes with pacman and paru.

Maybe scratch Road warden. I just remembered the text was too small for me on the Deck, I played it on the Legion Go. Sorry for the confusion.

But Heaven’s Vault is definitely worth a try.

Agree on Pentiment and Citizen Sleeper, I played them in bed before going to sleep. Another game I played the same way and loved was Heaven’s Vault. If you don’t have a problem with using the touchpads instead, Roadwarden is a good one too, text heavy but quite interesting IMHO.

I own an OG Legion Go and owned a Steam Deck prior to that. The Deck’s SD card reader is definitely better.

Currently playing Wrath of The Righteous, 84 hours in and it doesn’t look like it’s going to end soon.

I played it at launch for about 60 hours, haven’t touched it since. I started using reddit to participate in its subreddit in 2016, the hype this game created was crazy.
