I’m new to Steam and pc gaming, grabbed an OLED deck a little bit ago. I’m looking for recommendations for FPS and RPGs that I can play offline. I’ve never played any of the Elder Scrolls stuff should I grab one of them? What do you suggest?
For Elder Scrolls, I’d recommend giving either Oblivion or Skyrim a whirl, and then after you feel done with one, try the other. In my opinion they are both great for different reasons, and they are different enough to feel like very different games in some ways.
If it helps you make a decision in terms of RPG story feel, Skyrim is more about you as the hero, and Oblivion you’re more like a person that happens to be there.
There’s great modding resources too if you’re into that. Especially on Nexus. Even light modding like some QoL upgrades or bug fixes. I’m not talking crazy mods.
Oh, the endgame for Skyrim (the original DLCs) really do give you some rewarding post-game fun in like a god mode.

Some offline-friendly FPS games.
First-person puzzle games (other than Portal 1 and 2, which you’ve heard about enough already):
Monster Sanctuary! Outstanding mix of metroidvania and pokemon sorta game
Stardew valley, Midnight sun, diver Dave, persona 5
The Halo Anniversary collection shines on SteamDeck. It was my first purchase after getting mine, I think.

Shadow of war is 2.99 CAD
Decent game to quit about 30h in because while it’s good and fun to play, it’s incredibly repetitive.
RPG wise all the dragon age games are on sale, plus there’s always fallout or skyrim.
I haven’t played any of those, do you have a favorite?
Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines
