Portal 2
Other platforms
In my opinion, Portal is best played with controllers. Steam's controller may be a bit difficult to get into because it has a touchpad instead of analog sticks but once I got the hang of it, it was great! :)

hot take: this game is really easeir to play with Steam's touchpad controller than the the usual controllers from mainstream consoles. Well, that's maybe because I am a Linux gamer than a console gamer. More

I was given a Steam Controller as a gift and gave it a try. So far the best game to play with it is Portal 2. I've always loved the Portal games, this just makes them better. More

great game to get used to steam's weird controller. platformers are really hard to play, but it's good practice for anyone, especially with steam's touchpad.

I was looking for a good game to play with my new Steam Controller. My friend recommended Fallout 4 because he knew I loved games like that. It's a survivor game based in a post-apocalyptic world. The gameplay is wonderful and very addicting and I love the exploration aspects of the game. The graphics are truly something to marvel at. I've had no trouble running the game on my new PC system. I highly recommend Fallout 4. More

by Ralph Campbell
Street Fighter V is a great game to play with a Steam Controller. It also brings back memories of games that 90s kids used to play. Definitely, recommend this for people playing with a Steam Controller.
Arma 3 is a military and strategy video game first released in 2013 developed by Bohemia Interactive. It offers singleplayer and multiplayer modes and is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
by Samuel Mason
Amra 3 is an impressive game that works quite well with the Steam controller. As a massive military undertaking you have multiple vehicles and weapons to choose from, along with almost limitless content creation possibilities. Graphics are quite good overall and the game is quite engaging. More

Got that right Samuel, my sniping got 100% better because of the steam controller, nothing beats aiming with a mouse!
Elite Dangerous is a space simulation game developed by Frontier Developments and first released in 2015. It lets players explore an open-world cutthroat galaxy where players battle it out to freedom and glory.
by Debra Torres
I needed the best games to play with a steam controller and I found Elite: Dangerous. I really think this is the kind of game that has the advantage of being played with a controller since it requires a lot of accuracy. With a little bit of configuration, I was powering through ED like nothing with the steam controller.
MorePillars of Eternity is an RPG game that's filled with exploration and adventure. Lead your band of allies and discover the mysteries of this fantasy realm to shape your destiny. The game was first released on March 26, 2015.
by Vincent Bailey
I think this is worth a shot at least, @Nancy. Sure, you've seen it all before but I think it's still all in the execution and Pillars was extremely well executed. With the steam controller, it's even better since the devs gave it legit bindings that are perfect for the game. I'd say give it another shot with the controller!

Not worth the price. The game is fun, but it's typical, and just not worth it imo. There are tons of games like this on the market, nothing really makes this stand out from all the other games. If the price was cheaper it would be worth it, but as it stands now it isnt. More
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a simulation game developed and published by SCS Software. It provides a truck driver experience from truck customization, game world features such as landmarks, and up to creating own transportation company.
by Ashley Lee
The idea behind this game is simple enough. You basically drive a semi-truck. The graphics are beautiful, which goes to show that it is indeed meant to be meditating and not necessarily "fun." It IS fun though because it is relaxing in an engaging way that you normally wouldn't see a game of its like. Playing it with the Steam controller lets you relax even more since you can play it while lounging around. It is done very well for this type of game and definitely something that would appeal to a select few.

It is made for controller and it is the best game I have played so far. It is 2D platformer focused on exploration - beautiful art and music, and it has lots of interesting enemies.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an adventure role-playing game created by CD Projekt RED. It was released in 2015 as a sequel to The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. In this game, the player controls Geralt, a monster hunter trying to save his daughter.
by Philip Turner
The Steam Controller is fairly interesting, especially coming from a console. I decided to try playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt GOTY edition on the Steam Controller and I was actually pleasantly surprised. Witcher 3 is awesome and it is clear why it won the Game of The Year Reward. The game responded well to the Steam Controller, however, in my opinion, this controller still lags far behind a standard console controller. More

by Thomas Dixon
Grand Theft Auto V is such a classic game and playing it on the steam controller just adds to the fun! I don't care much for the joy sticks on other controllers so this was pretty good IMO!

the touchpad is great for shooting and combat, though I wish the joystick was a little more responsive so I can drift and drive nicely especially on tight corners. More

Nothing like playing a fantastic exploration game like DS3 on a fantastic controller. Playing on a PC with a mouse and keyboard is tiring. Steam's controller is also great because it has a touchpad. Using controllers with joysticks are hard for me. Played DS3 for hours with this thing haha!

I play this game so much. It's so immersive, a huge world, interesting characters and dialogue, and soooooooo dark! I love it, it is worth the price.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an adventure fantasy open world role-playing video game developed by Monolith Productions and released by Warner Bros. The game is based on the novels written by author J.R.R. Tolkien.
by Summer Xia
Having been a lifelong fan of Tolkien I was so excited to find Middle Earth, what a great game that integrates so well with the Steam controller. Game play is amazing. Graphics are glorious. The story is compelling. I upgraded and it was worth every penny! All I can say is MORE!!!! More

Nothing like using a mousepad when shooting wraith arrows and posion darts! I love using controllers, but sometimes aiming is a pain, especially for long-range shots, but thankfully this made it better. More

by Louis Rose
@Teresa Jensen What are you talking about? I've played Skyrim on PCs with Steam and it's pretty good! Even if you're using the Steam Controller (which is a weird controller that has no joysticks for some reason) Skyrim still deliver!
Moreby Ruth Baker
@louis rose, do you know what you're talking about, it has a small joystick LOL!!! But yeah, while playing this game using the keyboard is kind of confusing, having a virutal mouse on a controller gives this game a fresh challenge More

LOL! Skyrim is a Playstation 4 game! Hahaha! Good laugh... When the game came out in 2011 the PS4 wasn't even a concept. Skyrim on PC is superb because you know.. ALL the mods! The Steam controller manages the game pretty well and you can costumize everything! More
by Teresa Jensen
This is a great game, I'd have to agree that it is one of the best games one cane play, even. But it isn't meant for Steam. This is a Playstation 4 game, so it really doesn't help me much. More
Assassin's Creed Origins is an open-world role-playing adventure game from Ubisoft. It is the 10th installment of the Assassin's Creed series. It is set in ancient Egypt and around the Great Pyramids in Giza.
by José Juan Tovar
I love the steam controller! I mean, it took a while for me to figure out how to make it work and I was scratching my head for days! Figured it out by changing the configuration on some of my settings. After that, it was smooth sailing! Playing AC:O on it has been an amazing experience so far. Haven't encountered any problems so I totally recommend this!

Great update to a classic game. Very strong gameplay and a blast to play.
Divinity: Original Sin is an isometric fantasy role-playing game developed and published by Larian Studios. It also features tactical turn-based combat, a highly interactive world, and lots of choices and consequences.
by Donna Alvarez
I think Divinity - Original Sin is definitely one of the best games to play with a Steam Controller. However, I don't really like the controller in general. I prefer to use a different controller whenever possible. More
by Lawrence Johnson
Well Donna you need to practice it more. The touchpad takes some getting used to but once you get how it works you'll have an easier time in choosing and sequencing actions you need to do in this game. More
