People were worried that big games releasing these few weeks would overshadow indie games. Seems like that’s luckily not the case.

    To think it’s also on PS Plus (and I think Game Pass?). Well-deserved though, it’s a great game so far! Big Chrono Trigger vibes, which I just finished a few months ago so it’s cool to have some more old school JRPG stuff to play.

    Although I’m super tempted to get it on Switch despite having 2 hours on PS5. It’s the perfect game to play in bed

      I can play it for free through both GamePass and PS+ and yet I still bought it on Steam.

      Suffice it to say the Steam Deck has changed how I consume certain games.

        I feel you. I do have a Retroid Pocket though, I might try PS remote play first

          Did you have to install windows? I had tried that but the performance was really bad and the fans would constantly be going nuts 😕

            There doesn’t seem to be any copy protection for the Game Pass version. I just copied the game install folder from my PC to my Steam Deck, then added the .exe as a non steam game with Proton 8 and it works fine on my deck.

            You can use a web browser in the default os desktop mode. There are guides for it, even to start it from the deck interface I believe.

        I thought this would be viable through Game Pass Cloud streaming. Bummer if it isn’t since Moonlight can’t find games installed on Game Pass on my pc. Might have to settle for a payment though Steam as well, then :)

          But you could still use your phone to remote play to your PC or XBox isn’t it?

          You could even add a non Steam game to make it usable with Steam Link.

            You can just play it with Game Pass Cloud streaming. There are no issues with this game specifically.

            Generally though, as far as I know, you can’t add games installed locally by Game Pass as a non Steam Game. They aren’t installed in the traditional sense. No .exe, for example.

      If you like old school, but new, games I have to recommend Octopath Traveller 2. I started it 3 days ago and already have 30 hours with no signs of slowing down.

        Nice! How long is that game? Been hearing a lot of great things about it so I’ll have to give it a spin sometime.

          Average playtime without side quests I’ve seen about 60 hours. I’m at 40, there’s 8 characters, and I’ve only been focusing on 4 of them. My playtime may be off, though, because there were a few times I left it paused for a few hours.

      It is on gamepass. I started playing last night. So far, it’s a win.

        Same. It’s no Chained Echoes, but I’m still early, so maybe it takes off after a bit. I’m enjoying it a lot either way.

          I just finished Chained Echoes, really surprised at the quality. I’m hoping Stars at the very least equals it.

      How about whatever PS5 remote play on your phone?

      remote play on a phone while using a gamepad is a viable option if you don’t want to buy it on Switch.
