Steam deck worth it6/1/2023 ![]() ![]() They really deserve credit for their way of handling imho, but i can't deny its still a disadvantage in the end. It's not exactly cheap(not talking of price/quality), and the smallest version is just a placeholder (what was it? 64 gigs? That's a fucking joke).Īs mentioned: the queue goes so fast you might have it this year if you sign up now. Oh, and it comes with a great carrying case and adapter.Īs to disadvantages. It can't compare to an actual mouse, but those pads are a solid alternative. Lastly: yes, Xbox-controlled games are the easiest, but simple mouse driven games or"mobile games"in the steam store work surprisingly good. This Ive picked over Stardew because its everything I. Epic games and gog have working launchers, so if you've got games there, you can install these as well. Slow paced and perfect with a controller, farming sims are some of the best games for the Steam Deck. Other quality of life things: key bindings you just change any game to whatever the fuck you want (okay: wii is a bit an edge case). Again: a bit finicky to set up (i recommend at least a usb-c - > female usb converter), but it works fine after that. ![]() I've put a couple dozens of games from itch.io on an sd card and they pretty much all work. Emulation up to wiiu without issues(okay: i found a few minor slowdowns with super mario galaxy) and some switch games behave well.īut really: just about any pc game works fine. It's also worth noting that it's already competing with just about any pre-hacked console in ease of use. But really: it's like a smartphone or tablet in that you just pause and resume whenever. ![]() The interesting part is that I don't use it so much for on the go (though i did play dead cells on the train yesterday) but for constant on/off switching. But even then we're talking of at most 40% of their library (check steam or protondb for compatibility). Compatibility is generally better than valve's own findings, though it might be a bit finicky to get it to work. In this video, Im reviewing the Steam Deck - Valves handheld gaming console that Im absolutely INCREDIBLY impressed withIf youre looking for a handheld. If you already have a library of games to try, it's a great product. ![]()
