Been thinking about getting a steam deck. Talk me in or out of it. I’ve got a desktop, but thinking something handheld would be good when I want to sit on the couch. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck?

    I love it. It’s really opened the door for me as far as playing those more “comfy” games. Like I wouldn’t have enjoyed Dredge as much as I did if I weren’t curled up on the couch playing it. I have a long list of games that I’ve bought and intended to play, but sitting upright at my desk just wasn’t it.

    As far as games I’ve finally gotten to, I’d count

    • Guardians of the Galaxy
    • Dredge
    • Darkest Dungeon
    • Dorfromantik
    • Mad Max
    • Loop Hero

    But if you’re trying to move any more competitive games to it, I’d advise against. I haven’t had much luck playing Apex or the like, it’s been very cumbersome for me. That may just be the ergonomics not being ideal for me though, my hands are kinda too big for this thing.

      That’s exactly what I was looking for. I just wrapped up loop hero, found myself wishing I was on a handheld with it.

      I can’t wait to try Mad Max, but it hasn’t been on sale since I added it to my wishlist and I don’t buy games at full price on principle.
