Looking for something that won’t kill my battey and has some depth. I have Vampire Survivor but that get stale after about 30 minutes.

    Emulating Gamecube games is pretty low-spec if you compile the shaders beforehand. Battery life nets 2-3 hours on flights for me (Steam Deck). I have nearly 2000 hours of Animal Crossing GC combined, pls don’t judge me 😅.

    How about SNES or GBA emulation? For what it’s worth, many flights now have a power outlet between the seats

    If you prefer some story-heavy games, you can try Eastward. It has gorgeous art style and controls and UI are a great fit for handheld devices such as Deck and Switch. It takes ~15% battery a hour and can be completed in 10 to 15 hours.

    If you’re fine with longer games which will take 45-70 hours total, try some 2D JRPGs like Trails in the Sky FC (which also has nice touch input in menus!), Trails from Zero and Chained Echoes. All tree aren’t battery-heavy at all.

        Memmy app now has notifications so I just saw this. Steam Deck / Steam controllers work with any game. Satisfactory doesn’t have controller support but I’ve never felt I needed it as I have fully customized my controller experience thanks to Steam Input. If you bought on Epic you can still use Steam Input by adding it as a non steam game and launching from Steam.

    Check out Cloudbuilt. IIRC it’s surprisingly light on battery, while being first person parkour that’s highly addictive.
