Best deck games for a flight? (as in...possibly running on batteries)

Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz – 44 points – 7 months ago

Hi guys! So, yeah...Which games are good for a nice gaming session while on a flight? Last time I played one of the newer Tomb Raider games, and while performance was good, it decked (heh) the battery in less than 1h... So, while I like these too, if the flight doesn't have a socket under the seat I might want to play games that don't kill the battery immediately. What's your best/most addictive Deck games? Also, after the whole big N mess...how's the Switch emulation these days?

Yeah, I never got my copy of TotK to run well enough on my deck to be worth playing over the switch version. I've heard other people claim it runs good, so I don't know if they're using better settings than me, if they have lower standards, or if they don't have it on switch to compare performance.

I've got totk running at around 30-40 fps with some hitches using TOTK optimizer https://github.com/MaxLastBreath/TOTK-mods/releases

Well that sounds pretty good, I'll probably check that out. I never got to finish TotK because my kids are always wanting the switch. If I can get it running well on my deck that'll help a lot.

I'm assuming you use the low preset with Ryujinx?

I use the steam deck preset with yuzu. I also changed the resolution to 900p and increased the framecap to 40 fps and menu to 90 IIRC

I also lowered draw distance slightly. Can't remember if I made any other adjustments

Thanks!
