Advice for Picking Great Games After 6 Years Away from Gaming

-

Hey everyone! I’m excited to be back in the gaming world after taking a long break due to some serious life changes. I’ve just ordered a Steam Deck, and I’m looking for some recommendations. It’s been almost 6 years since I last gamed, and I barely know what’s been happening in the gaming scene since then (I remember the hype around Cyberpunk when it first launched, but I’ve heard it’s better now?). I used to enjoy games like Fallout, Elder Scrolls, GTA, and Resident Evil 4, so I’d love to get your take on the best games released in the last 6 years! What are the must-plays that I shouldn’t miss, and any tips for getting the most out of my Steam Deck would also be appreciated!

Welcome back! You should definitely check out Titanfall 2 and Prey (2017); they’re both amazing, and I missed them when I took a break too. Also, for getting good deals, check out ProtonDB for game performance on the Deck and sites like Fanatical for sales. Steam has regular discounts, so keep an eye out because lots of games go on sale frequently. Enjoy your time with the Steam Deck—it’s seriously the best gaming device I’ve ever had!

Thanks for this info! I’m definitely going to look into those deals. Just found out Borderlands 3 is super cheap right now, so I’ll grab that!
