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

Listing off what I remember currently having on my deck:
- pizza tower
- Antonblast
- pikuniku
- toem
- cassette beasts
- turnip boy commits tax evasion
- turnip boy robs a bank
The first two are inspired by wario land 4. So they are more frenetic. The rest are pretty chill games. If I remember correctly they should all fit in 20 gigs
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:)
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
Already addicted lol
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
If you havent yet played Portal / Portal 2, together they are about 20 Gigs, and are both very good, genre and generation defining games.
I give you two more to play:
Portal Revolution
Portal ReloadedYou can find both in the steam store
Also Postal 1 and 2. Great games. First one is kinda a twinstick shooter, second one more a do what you want game.
Animal Well 35Mb
Looks great. Sold
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
Have you tried Inscryption
That’s a trip, i love it.
I suck in the over world area though.Edit: fuck it. Im reinstalling it!
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
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)
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.
This is what im talking about, real indie games baby. Love it
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 do have the first one. Thats a great idea
Minecraft (Java Edition, the standard).
About 0,3 GB, and needs no introduction. Endless box of fun in a tiny cross-platform package.
I just played cubic Odyssey for my block game fix. I do have Minecraft on my switch already.
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.
Ohh that looks fun, thank you!
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
Which one did you choose?
