Just started playing GTA IV on the Steam Deck after having it sitting in my Steam library for years. It’s really fun. I really like the protagonist, the setting, and it’s openness. It’s a bit more tame than GTA V which I have played as well and I prefer the more subdued tone.
I like GTA IV a lot, I should re visit it sometime, but I only have the PS3 version and ain’t the best version by any means, The Ballad of Gay Tony is an improvement though.
Even when the game was smaller than V it has a lot more detail, check out some GTA IV vs V videos and you will see what I am talking about.
I would love to play it on a Steam Deck lol.
