Fucking skyrim never dies!
Removed by mod
They are already working on it what more do you want?
An actual release and not a shovelware shitty MMO. Look at the release cadence:
-
Arena 1994
-
Daggerfall 1996 (2 years)
-
Morrowind 2002 (6 years)
-
Oblivion 2006 (4 years)
-
Skyrim 2011 (5 years)
-
??? (12+ years)
-
To not take 15+ years to release it lol
Maybe not even then. Modders have made Skyrim better then Bethesda could ever make another game.

Say what you will about Bethesda and Skyrim, but they must have done something right because people still can’t put it down over a decade later. I do want to play it at some point, but I don’t know when I’ll have that kind of time.
My dad has been playing it, and almost exclusively it, for years. From 360 to Xbox One to Xbox Series X. It’s literally the only game he even has for the X, he bought the machine just to play Skyrim. He was so excited to find mods. Idk how many thousands of hours he has in it.
To be fair, it was a really fun game. They did a great job with it. In fact, I’ve been itching to play it again.
Linked is an image of text. It’s bullet points, but I assume it is ordered? Text content is:
Top 20 Steam Deck games of August 2023, by hours played
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- ELDEN RING
- DAVE THE DIVER
- Stardew Valley
- Vampire Survivors
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Brotato
- Fallout 4
- Cyberpunk 2077
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
- ARMORED CORE™ VI FIRES OF RUBICON™
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Slay the Spire
- Hades
- HoloCure - Save the Fans!
- Remnant II
- Halls of Torment
At the bottom it does say “…by hours played” indicating it’s in ranked order.
“top 20 by hours played” doesn’t specify order though, does it? Sure, it’s expected. But not explicit. I guess you expect “20 most played games” otherwise?
thank you. no way im going on twitter even for a second.
Thankfully OP linked to an imgur screenshot - I didn’t have to visit the Twitter source.
I just love that binding of Isaac is still doing so well
The fact that you can play it with all the infinite goodness from the Workshop is a really strong selling point because it’s thus the only mobile version of Isaac that is actually up to date + modded compared to mobile/console versions.
900 FRUSTRATING hours of my life that I’m never gonna get back
1300 hours of fun and 300 hours of Repentance
Halls of Torment
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
glad to see it sneaking up on the list here, looking forward to updates
I’m surprised too! Feels like this game came out of nowhere and still has lots of room to grow, good for the devs.
I stopped playing after the second stages final boss took no damage. I spent 20 minutes on him and got him 1/4th of the way dead maybe. Ended up just quitting the run.
My answer to problems in Halls of Torment is to use archer crit build. If that doesn’t work, add more crit.
There’s my 80+ hours of Stardew Valley in the past week lol
Making a difference!!!
80 hours in a week?
Stardew is a full time job
Company I worked for committed seppuku, figured I’d find a way to relax
shoutout to all the brotato mains
Old is gold
I really gotta fuckin buy that
Amazed to see Holocure on there, pretty good going for a fan project
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 2If 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
seeing fallout 4 and skyrim still doing so well brings a smile to my face, at the time i genuinely bought a ps4 so i could play them
Same with The Witcher
Apologies - I think the Witcher was mostly me. I finally decided I was going to finish it so I could move on to something new.
I’ve been playing it since it launched, I’ll replay it until Geralt isn’t cool anymore.
Damn people are able to play baldurs gate on there? I tried and everything becomes so blurry that it’s not even worth. Wonder if I’m doing something wrong
Set resolution to 900p, turn all settings to low or off (especially Antialiasing and god rays) except for textures at medium and the AMD upscaling to ultra high quality. Enable slow HDD mode if you installed the game to an SD card. Increase text size.
Runs very smooth for me.
Setting to low isn’t necessary. Runs great on Medium.
Turn off FSR. I’ve got 30 hours into it and prefer it on deck over PC.
Try turning off FSR in the graphics settings, it looks much better and clearer with it off.
Second this! FSR makes everything blurry in BG3
I don’t have it on me but there’s an article with recommended settings and it runs pretty well
Launcher option: DirectX 11 Model quality: Low Texture filtering: Trilinear Shadow quality: Low Fog quality: Low Ambient occlusion: Off Everything else: Ultra preset equivalents
Maxing out AA was a big help for me, with there being some weirdness due to the option resetting to off on game restart. I’m not sure I’d that’s been fixed in the latest patch.
I’ve been happily adding to Dave the Diver’s numbers, such a perfect fit! Pretty interesting list all around, definitely some surprises in there.
It is amazing how every time you think “surely by now, I must have seen most of what Dave has to offer” it fires off another bonkers event.
Yup, never ceases to amaze me! If with no context you’d described to me everything the game throws at you, I’d straight up think it’d never work but, amazingly, it all somehow fits together nicely. Hell, the base roguelite + management sim premise is wild enough on its own lol.
Very much looking forward to whatever they come up with next!
Glad to see Stardew Valley in the list 😊
WTF is Dave the Diver?
Really cute and relaxing game. Lots of charm and perfect for the steam deck. In this game youre a dude named Dave, a diver, who catches fish by day and works in a sushi bar by night. I stopped playing zelda totk for this haha.
I’m wondering the same about that and about whatever the heck is called “Brotato!” Do you play as a potato? I’m intrigued
It’s a vampire survivors like bullet heaven game. Edit: I mean Brotato.
Brotato kicks ass
Fr it’s super underrated. Probably my favorite Vampire Survivors type game.
