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

Both Hades and Hades II are about 11GB. Either one will fit or you could increase your limit just a bit and fit both.
Celeste, tricky towers
Man I can only get past the default missions in Celeste, im not doing that to myself right now lol
(Great game)
I just started playing Elementallis. It’s a Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening style action adventure. I’m enjoying it. It weighs in at just a hair over 1 GB.
Factorio if you like building, optimizing and automating. Game is about 5 GB.
That game really needs a warning 1500 hours and counting.
I’m at 1690 hours myself and really hasn’t delved too much into mods yet…
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.
Same… and I feel like I’m missing out ;-;
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
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!
Genre/type of game you like most?
This is asking for suggestions. I have 58+ games on my deck. Im just looking for that last piece of the puzzle before i lose internet again.
Streets Of rogue
60 seconds! Reatomized
Sleeping dogs
Hand of fate 2
Far cry 3
Dragon age origins
Cult of the lamb
Fallout: new vegas
Of those I’ve played new vegas, dragon age, sleeping dogs, and just got cult of the lamb last week! I’ll have to look into streets of rogue
Its a fun little game for sure there is a sequel coming out too.
Just went thru the tutorial and looked at the characters. Seems pretty cool, i think I’ll like it
Its a good time killer!
I panicked while being chased by the police cuz i turned the power off, ran down an alley, and tossed a landmine directly infront on myself lol boom
Rimworld with mods?
Or maybe Age of Wonders 4.
Already have rimworld installed and set up :)
I’d highly recommend AoW4 if you like Civilization, then. It’s straight up better than Civ, in my humble opinion, and has excellent controller support.
I have Old World for my 4X fix. Along with X4
But does it fill you “Mad fantasy Xcom-battles-in-4X-fix?”
Just sayin’
Oh man, xcom 4x battles? Your selling me on this i like the sound of that
Yeah. Your economy basically goes to producing units you use in Xcom-like battles in ruins, sieges, against other armies and such. Research goes to enchanting the units, buffing them, map spells, and higher tier units of course. And that itself is interesting, as you can mix cultures, units, and enchanments to (as a random example) have tanky, materialist drwaves led by a vampire that sap health. Or a steampunk bird race with magelock rifles, but maybe they have a flair for necromancy.
And there’s some rock-paper-scissors going on. Rushers are good against ranged units but poor against defenders, making positioning important. “Archon” angelic units specialize in smiting hellish or lovecraftian units (which are distinct), but are weak to blight or frost from “nature” units.
…I dunno.
It’s like all that 4X-ing has a point, you know? It gives combat some gravity, and make it feel like all your citybuilding has a purpose. The mechanics just work so well together.
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.
Already installed:)
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). Those are unrelated to Outer Wilds, but didn’t want to leave multiple comments
Have you tried Inscryption
This is also my recommendation, great game. So replayable
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.
You can get a mod that makes it endless, I’m not sure about the randomness, I never got too far into it before discovering Hades
That’s a trip, i love it.
I suck in the over world area though.
Solitaire
OP, your can install a different copy for each day of the week.
I love it
I recommend the Windows 3.1 version, it’s like 500Kb
Actually to run it on wine you need a 32bit .exe, so go for the Windows NT 3.51 version
Interestingly we are at this point that memory/chip prices are so high that we are asking for game suggestions based on storage requirements.
If you can spare an extra gig, Valheim has been my recent timesink. I recommend a few QoL mods though. Vanilla is a little extreme on the… immersion.
Infra is about 10GB and is an excellent case of a “walking simulator” done right. Wildly detailed environments and lots of environmental storytelling. I’ve spent entirely too long getting lost in it.
Looks like it’s a pain on steam deck. Thats a drag
Darn. Too bad. I tried…
I haven’t tried it yet, but Mina the Hollower just released and seems really cool. Should be way less than 20 GB.
Ohh that looks fun, thank you!
