I have 25GB-ish left on my steam deck. I like to save space for saves and stuff, so im looking for a game under 20.

Whats a fun small-med sized game youve been playing?

EDIT!!
Awesome suggestions so far everyone. I picked up the following games right now:

Farcry Primal
Mina the Hollower
Animal Well
Streets of Rogue
Deep Rock Galactic
Heart of the Machine
Inscryption
Moonrise Fall
Slay the Spire

I'm saving this post for future use

Megabonk is like half a gig, great on Deck, pretty addictive, and good for when you only have a short window to play something in.

Undertale, In Stars and Time, Blue Prince, and Doki Doki Literature Club are my favorite games that haven't already been mentioned here. All of them are somewhat dialogue/text-heavy.

Horsey Game. Like 150mbs and hilarious but also crazy deep genetics mechanics.

Ostriv was under a gig last I checked. Incredible accomplishment. Beautiful little city/village builder based in Ukraine.

Terraria is just north of 10 MB, and it's still (?!) only $10. That's $1 per megabyte!

Celeste, the platformer, is one of my favorites, and it's super small.

[–] Butterpaderp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Abiotic factor

10gb, half life themed survival game. Extremely solid. The combat itself isn't too crazy, I think you could pull it off on steamdeck

[–] CptInsane0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Throw in a 1TB SD card and load it with ROMs. Install your emulators of choice.

Both Ori games are great on the deck and combined are around 20 GB.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I have Ori. I loved it until all you did was launch between points it just wasn't the platformer i want it to be.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

Fair, I had problems with the same part.

Rimworld with mods?

Or maybe Age of Wonders 4.

Bubsy 4D is only like 3gb. It should do well on a Deck, too, but there were some reports of insanely bad performance for some people even on beefy rigs that should handle it no problem. It has a demo, tho.

I just started playing Elementallis. It's a Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past style action adventure. I'm enjoying it. It weighs in at just a hair over 1 GB.

[–] sickday@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Current rotation looks like

  1. Caves of Qud
  2. Space Warlord Organ Trading Sim
  3. Streets of Rogue
  4. Drova Forsaken Kin

All of them are sub 20GB, heck they might all even be sub 10 GB

Is rimworld on steamdeck? If it is the base game is a couple hundred mb, even with all the dlc it's less than 1gb.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

With mods my rimworld install is 2gb. Brb gotta finish my killbox

I remembered I never finished Braid last week and played it - perfect on steam deck!
