I tried to play No Mans Sky but I hit an issue where my cloud save didn’t come down so I played some Doom Eternal instead.
Super impressive hardware

Gotham Knights runs well all things considered. Low settings keeps FPS in the 40s or so most of the time I think, bigger fights tank it a bit but it's not unplayable or anything.
Considering how it apparently generally doesn't run well on new gen hardware it's all the more impressive. Seems like devs must have prioritized a Deck build, hopefully that continues with new stuff.

K my bad, just because the game runs fine doesn't mean anyone should actually play it. The mechanic to interrogate specific enemies is nuts. It's required multiple times to progress at all and it's basically get to a random crime point (which are very limited and tend to be far apart), scan all of the enemies to make sure you don't accidentally kill the one with the info, then beat only him or all of the others first, then him, interrogate. Mess up any part of that and you have to start over and waste 15 more minutes.
Like, srsly is this just groupthink taking over? Or maybe Ubisoft is sharing their cocaine, which is a hell of a drug, with everyone at Warners? Any QA tester would point out how annoying level design like this is, but I guess cranking up playtime is clearly more important than actually making a good game now. Fuck me.
Edit, started up a new Elden Ring run and am about halfway through DS Remastered still can't put down Vampire Survivors Teardown seems great.... It's an awesome piece of kit plz don't mind my general whining.

Gotham Knights is alright I suppose, it's a big step down from the proper Rocksteady games but it's decent enough to kill some time and not hate yourself. Too much filler, bizarrely hard on the system, but it's, I dunno, a 5.5/10.
Re: compatibility: WRC Generations (yes I know US Americans are not meant to play this) does not work at all on Steam Deck. Maybe EA will do a little better with the license (ROFL, no, j/k).
Meanwhile, Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord runs great on high settings. Game warns you right away that controllers aren't supported and then the Deck controls actually are supported, and very well, mixed with some convenient touch screen stuff. One of the nicer surprises I've seen on any hardware in a while.

I just ordered my Steam Deck and am waiting for it to arrive.
Has anyone messed with portable monitors? My main purpose is to use this at a weekly fighting game meet up.

If the monitor has hdmi and you get a dock or type c I can't see an issue. And welcome to the party!.
