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.

    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

      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

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

        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

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

    My indie action platformer No More Mages is in early access (with a free demo) if you feel like taking a shot at a truly unknown game! More being added soon.

    Minecraft (Java Edition, the standard).

    About 0,3 GB, and needs no introduction. Endless box of fun in a tiny cross-platform package.

        I’d recommend installing Prism launcher and checking out some modpacks. Vault Hunters in particular builds its own game on top of Minecraft. I think my largest instance has been ~5GB including the save.

    I haven’t tried it yet, but Mina the Hollower just released and seems really cool. Should be way less than 20 GB.

    Haven’t seen anyone mention Slay the Spire yet. The original is under 600MB and the sequel (early-access) is 2GB. They’re both good! The first one is maybe a little easier, if you’ve never played them.

    I like the Ace Attorney trilogies; I’m playing through the Apollo Justice trilogy right now and thats about 19gb. Perfect on the steam deck.

    Stardew Valley is under 1gb and is also perfect on Steam Deck. Or Core Keeper is only 1.1gb, for a more crafty less RPG vibe.

    Also worth remembering of course, you can use SD cards to expand the space on your Steam Deck, and swap SD cards out as much as you want. So if you have intermittent internet as you imply elsewhere here, loading up games onto SD cards can be very helpful.

      Uh excuse me, Stardew is like 10gb
      with mods.

      But yeah I actually don’t have an sd card yet. Just my external and the deck itself. 500gb oled

        Ok, even with mods, 10gb? Woah!

        I’m playing stardew with a few mods and it’s 750mb on Linux via steam. I’m genuinely interested in what mods you’re adding to get it to 10gb?

          I was being hyperbolic:)
          I have a pretty small mod list. Mostly animated items, sd expanded, earthly recolor, reflections, visable fish, etc. and most importantly: Automate

    Gotta plug my friends games, not that they’re unknown, just the first things that come to mind and they’re all small to small-ish in size (I think they might even be under 20gb for all combined).

    Hotline Miami
    Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
    Raft
    Sea Salt
    Post Void
    Keep Driving
