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

    Outer Wilds is 8GB, and the best puzzle/mystery game I have ever played. The less you know about the game up front, the better.

        Give it a shot with the mods after you finish the game (+dlc) too, a lot of them are great! I tried the archipelago randomizer today along with ship enhancements on max random difficulty, it is a wild time.

        Also wanted to rec a game like Lorn’s Lure, White Knuckle, or Idols of Ash (fair warning, I picked up the last one just yesterday, but it is pretty high rated and seems like Lorn’s Lure which I had a great time with)

          I’ve looked at mods for Outer wilds before. I did like the VO mod. Most of the actors are decent enough to work.

          Ill look up those other games, thanks!

    Balatro is tiny, like 150 MB tiny. And endlessly playable. If you like poker and/or rogue likes it’s pound for pound one of the best deals out there both money and memory wise

    If you havent yet played Portal / Portal 2, together they are about 20 Gigs, and are both very good, genre and generation defining games.

    Balatro and Slay The Spire 2 are roguelikes that have a lot of replayability.

    Trackmania, you can give it a shot with Nations Forever it’s free on steam. Turbo/TM2 are graphically improved versions of it, 2020 is the newest one that most people play but has a lot of its features locked behind a yearly subscription. Go with the previous ones if offline play is a must.

    Baba Is You is a real brain burner puzzle game that makes you think out of the box a lot of time.

    Both Hades and Hades II are about 11GB. Either one will fit or you could increase your limit just a bit and fit both.

      Even with the added gamepad controls i cant get into this game. I also played satisfactory and ran into the same roadblock. Im just not tuned to create machins like that.

          I just got sucked into Planet Crafter for like a week. So i figured im primed for satisfactory. But no, the loop is just over my head in the “build machines” genre

    I developed my taste in PC games before I had a graphics card, so…

    • Baba Is You, a minimalist puzzle game with a Portal’s worth of perception bending
    • Hypnospace Outlaw, a story-driven 90’s-styled computer/internet simulator with a shocking amount of good diegetic indie music. Like, more than one entire album.
    • Celeste

    I’ve already played these games to death and back so I haven’t really been playing them in the present tense

    I enjoy unique story driven games. Two favourites are:

    • Papers, please. <100MB
    • Do not feed the monkeys. <1GB

    Honorary mention to Not tonight. It’s very papers-inspired, but unique enough.

    Dwarf Fortress

    Throw money at the steam version or just got download the lazy noob pack (keyboard recomended for that one) and learn why it is the hardest game.

    Remember kids, Losing is fun!

      I’ve tried to get into DF, but it’s too esoteric for even me. I thought rimworld would prepare me, but that’s child’s play compared to figuring out DF

    Lot of my picks have already been mentioned but if you like story-rich point and clicks:
    The rusty lake series (~1GB each)
    Strange Horticulture (1GB)

    Or very chill adventure:
    Slime rancher (1GB)

    Rouge-lite/rogue-like:
    Death Road to Canada (60MB)
    Binding of Isaac (449 MB) - this is my all time favourite game and I’m surprised to see the base game is still under $20.

        Is the leshi section random? That’s the only way i could see it having replayability. (But i never beat the full game, so idk)

          Oh I just circled back and saw your other comments. If I recall the devs added a mode to make the cabin section at the start a more fully fleshed out ccg. I should reinstall too.
