2023 was a pretty amazing year for games, but I’m also interested to hear what didn’t meet expectations or didn’t run as well as you expected it to.

    What made you uninstall American Truck Sim? I played a bit of Euro Truck Sim on my computer and I was satisfied; it’s good for what it is.

      The UI was immediately very off-putting, feeling like a 90s sim game, and not in a good way. Definitely didn’t translate well to Steam Deck.

      Additionally, the lack of any direction whatsoever was very unappealing to me.

      Maybe I just don’t like sim games. It’s been decades since I was really into them, after all.

        It’s a game that requires next to no focus to play. Perfect for putting on a podcast and relaxing. Probably best for those who enjoy driving. Not everyone’s cup of tea tho, I get that

        As for the UI, if it’s like ets2, it’s dated but not too bad. It is an old but very good truck driving game

        Especially after you configure it with control settings on the deck. It has native steam input support so all controls are configured on the deck menus itself.

        It’s really easy, I have right touchpad for looking around and using the mouse in menus, and back paddles to signals, center camera and toggle lights

        For some reason, I simply focus so much better when playing ets2 lool. I can’t listen to podcasts any other way, my mind always wonders
