    It’s been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It’s a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that’s implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.

    The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.

      That’s pretty high praise, I’ll check it out.

    I tried starting Control last night. I’ve played it like 4 times on PS5, but it was on sale with Disco Elysium recently. But Direct X 12 seems to be a no-go, and then when I tried 11 it just crashed immediately. But the second I’d get to the mail room it just shits the bed and grinds to like 1.5 fps.

      That’s odd, I played Control on my deck and it ran great. You should definitely be able to run it on DX11, maybe try a different proton version if it’s refusing to launch.

    I really really like it, and I’ve been playing it in my learning language and I’ve learned so much from the rich dialogue and story elements.

    Its in the same vain as hollow knight in terms of tight controls and skill based combat, with aspects of exploration.

    I say this as a person who is not a fan of metroidvanias at large, nor dark souls games, but I’m a huge fan of souls-lights.
