Any Good Survival Games?

[Pneuma_Lady]

Does anyone out there know of any survival/base building based games confirmed to work well with the Steam Deck? I will be looking to add a few but want to know which ones will work first before buying.

search your games here, and read the comments

Awesome thank you!

if a game you would like to play has the "gold" label it will work but with minor annoyances, bugs, or issues. this issues may be solved soon, or not, but they usually dont affect gameplay, and if they do its not much. this also includes games running with "proton ge".

"native" and "platinum" means the game should work almost perfectly, and any issues you find are related to the game itself and not related to compatibility with proton.

games listed under "bronce" or worse may become playable at some point in the future, but you should avoid buying them if you want to play them in the deck or any other linux os.

check the proton db lists and steam playable/verified status.
for games that arent listed/tested then it doesnt matter what you buy. you get 2 hours play time. so just install it and test it out. If it doesnt work then refund it.

I've been playing Valhiem and State of Decay 2, even tough SOD 2 is not Steam verified, it works like a charm on it because it's a Windows game that uses the default X box controller so it's amazing handle on it.

avoid ark survival on deck. it makes the deck run really hot and the performance is really bad
