Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for a survival crafting game that has PvP and runs smoothly on the Steam Deck—ideally at 45fps or higher. I’ve enjoyed games like Raft, The Long Dark, and The Isle, so something in that vein would be great. I’m into genres like survival, crafting, open world, and base-building, and I’m open to any budget. Recently, I’ve been really into Raft but I’m looking for something with similar vibes, though it doesn’t have to be nautical. Any recommendations?

You might want to check out “7 Days to Die”. It’s a solid survival game that mixes crafting and base-building with some intense PvP elements. Lots of players enjoy it!
How about “Project Zomboid”? It’s widely regarded as one of the best hardcore survival games out there. Also, “DayZ” has a massive following, though I’ve heard the controller UI could be a bit tricky on the Deck.
I’m really intrigued by Project Zomboid—it sounds like it could scratch that survival itch! DayZ is a classic, but I’m wary of the controls.
“Rust” is another popular choice along with games like “Grounded” and “Stranded Deep.” If you like crafting and base-building, those might fit too! Although I’ve heard Rust has issues running on the Deck.
Yeah, I read that Rust doesn’t perform well on the Deck. It’s too bad because I’ve always wanted to try it! Grounded sounds like a fun option, especially for playing with my fiancée.
I’ve been hearing good things about it too! Definitely considering it.
