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

    Would need a lot of control tweaking, both from Steam input and in game controls, but it looks like Mindustry might be less than a gig of storage. At least the free version you can get from either itch or github is.

    Seems those versions are currently slightly less than 100mb for current non bleeding edge releases. I found the folder for my installed Steam version and it says it’s nearly 160mb, so there’s that. Didn’t realize it was such a small game, but it’s fun. Much better if you have a mouse and keyboard rather than just touch controls, coming from someone who started off playing it on mobile.

    Only $9.99USD ( IDK what that would be in other currency ) on Steam to get steam supported things like workshop or seemless multiplayer, but if you are like me and only play single player campaign, the free versions are just as fine.

    Sulfer is about 4GBs, it’s an excellent indie looter shooter with gun crafting and charm.

    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). Those are unrelated to Outer Wilds, but didn’t want to leave multiple comments

          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

    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.

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

      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

    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.

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

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