Hey everyone!

So I recently bought the Steam deck, and love every second of it. It allows me to play games that I normally never play on PC. Like some indies.

But I have a question. I want a game where I can just braindead level. Bit like Runescape back in the day. Is there some game like that for the Deck?

If you're into idle games at all, try out Melvor Idle. Costs $10 but you can try it for free on a browser if you want to see what you're getting. It's heavily inspired by RuneScape. Melvor is without a doubt the best idle game I've ever played, so if you're a fan of the genre and aren't afraid of the grind, I'd highly recommend it.

I almost wanted to recommend this, but for a dedicated game system it's a real emphasis on idle. You'd essentially be tapping every so often or setting up a task and then letting it go. I don't think it's a good dedicated Steam Deck game, but it is a hell of an idle game

True, it can occasionally grab your attention for a few days if you have an immediate goal, but it's more of a background game most of the time. Still thought it was worth bringing up, especially at the mention of runescape!
