Hi. So background is I’m 50 and I’ve not done much gaming since vice city and the original silent hills +unreal tournament. I’m trying to get back into it but I’m frustratingly crap.

I’ve got a steam deck and my neighbour has one too, we were looking for games we could play either head to head or cooperative. People suggested left 4 dead 2 and we managed to get that working through lobby thing but it was laggy and TBH it was a bit chaotic for us. Too much constant running and shooting and no time to pause for thought or discuss strategy.

I think we’re looking for something with a bit of occasional violence but also some strategy - not just bang bang all the time. Maybe even something that doesn’t involve violence at all. But we both working and only got an hour or two a day for game time.

Any suggestions?

First if it’s possible to locally connect 2 steam decks (without a fuckin cable!). Second on what games might be fun. Needs to not have a big learning curve and be something we can just play for an hour or two when we have time.

Any suggestions would be very welcome. Cheers

    I have not tested them on the Deck, but the We Were Here series of games is great two-player puzzle-solving fun. At least the latest titles are Deck-verified, not sure about the older ones. You can play them in any order you wish - although I’d leave Forever as the last one to be played.

    It Takes Two is another brilliant two-player adventure puzzle game. Only one person needs to buy it, the other can download the friend pass to play (although you cannot get achievements without buying the game).
