Handheld! I gotta admit, when I first got my steam deck about 6 months ago, I thought it was great, but was having a bit of buyers remorse. I wasn't ever able to find situations where I felt the purchase was justified. Fast forward to this month and man am I glad I got this device. My situation has changed and I'm constantly on the go. I have basically made a playlist of games to play on the deck and I'm getting through them one by one. Backlog be gone! The steam deck is my ultimate time killer between jobs and I couldn't be happier.

Yup, I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to the PS5 reigniting my love for gaming. I ended up getting a Steam Deck about a month and a half ago mainly to take the load off my laptop and being able to use it as a console a la Switch. I considered getting a Switch, but the only games I would get for it is anything Metroid or Bayonetta. The Steam Deck is a beast of an emulator machine as well, so I decided to pull the trigger and finally get one during their Spring Sale. The only problem right now is that I haven't been able to use it since buying it, because adulting 😅 but I'm happy that I got it and will be modding and playing it soon.

Nice breakdown and review. I can totally relate to your experiences, as a full time editorial content lead for an advertising agency, play time is almost non existent until I realized it's already gone too. While I have and enjoyed the Switch, it doesn't allow me to play triple A titles on the go and I just couldn't afford buying a proper gaming laptop. So the Steam Deck fits the bill perfectly with its price point. As a HANDHELD I managed to steal some time playing the game in-between work or during lunch break.

It is not good value for handheld compared to Switch. There are games that should be played on PC. No handheld is yet capable of it for a good price and product. Switch has many great exclusives and games that are great for playing on handheld. Steam Deck has never been worth it. Asus Ally is far and away a better option. And can actually be either it as a PC game machine alternative with Windows. Never waste money on a Steam Deck.

@See Ess you are right the steam deck isn't a good handheld option, it's a GREAT option for the price, you know why it wins for me, I don't care about Nintendo exclusives I will never support those money grabbers as they only care about squeezing the highest prices from games series that have been around since before I was born(1998), steam has over 50000 available games, and the device itself is better for me than the asus ally as I don't wanna spend close to a grand for performance that is better but doesn't have dual track pads or 4 other back buttons to program. I'm happy and am so excited to have a device that let's me play cyberpunk for an hour and a half at great settings pretty much anywhere I can bring it.

@@jamesbalaj4641 This is totally false. The price of close to a grand is similar on both You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. Steam Deck is over $700 in most shops. Same pricing for Ally. The touch screen on Steam Deck seems like a nice touch. But found to be barely used and unnecessary by most. Due to being fully touch screen anyway. Ally can play any Steam game. And it has faaaar more universal options for games that you do not even need to get on Steam. 5000 is an irrelevant number when what is available outside of Steam is what is most relevant. Steam Deck has never been a good product which means it is not even close to great. It is closer to poor oversized overpriced product recommended to avoid. Nintendo is greedy as can be, But no more than Valve. Perhaps not even close to Valve. If the product is worth the value then, that is what matters to most users. Yet the biggest hypocrites on the internet and one the face of the earth are anybody who use Valve for anything, and while pointing fingers at anybody about greed and anticonsumer. Which is what Valve is far more than any other company. Yet the point was value to the user. I got three games from Steam over the past two years. Due to being Steam exclusive - Final Fantasy 14, Fallout 4, Elden Ring. Because I enjoyed those. But I got many games elsewhere. Switch offers the best value for handheld. The OLED is amazing. Dragon Quest 11-S has great benefit on PC. But also excellent on Switch OLED for a handheld game.. For PC games on handheld, Steam Deck is a huge waste of money when Asus Ally is just so much better. There is has always been zero reason to pay enormous amount for Steam Deck. But Ally is actually a great product for that price range. As stated it is a Windows PC as well. Anybody looking for a budget PC for gaming consider getting the Ally. It can be docked as well as brought around like a laptop. There is no competition between something well worth it vs something that has never been worth it.

New steam deck owner here. I work on a cruise so I don’t have wifi to play online and just carrying my PS5 to the cruise and then installing it in my already limited space cabin is simply a no. I own a switch and while it’s great, I was feeling I was missing out a lot of AAA games just cuz the Switch doesn’t have them. I LOVE THE STEAM DECK, playing Master Chief Collection, Metro Exodus, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring and so many more AAA and now Sony “exclusives” like Days Gone is mind blowing. I was biased by the battery life but again, I usually never find myself playing for more than 2-3 hours so it’s never an issue. Gotta say, the Switch and SteamDeck combo is a killer one hahahaha. I love handheld and having the power and library of both of those systems is an absolute blast.

Really enjoying my Steam Deck, I got it last summer and have really been enjoying it. I hooked it up to one of my TVs and connected a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, so that I could play games like Borderlands 2 and Titan fall 2. I got a Tomtoc case which fits the deck perfectly for taking to work in my lunch bucket and playing a little on my break. Furthermore, I have 2 Xbox series controllers, so I can play co-op games with my brothers as well. When I went for a trip to Kansas last month, I took the deck and played games like Doom, Dead Cells, Horizon Chase Turbo, Sonic all stars racing transformed and Skyrim Elder Scrolls V, in the back seat. I have been getting into emulation more lately and added some older Nintendo titles to my deck. I am also looking into buying Zelda: Breath of the wild to emulate on my deck at some point.

One of my favorite games to play on the steam deck has to be the sims 4, it almost feels like your playing it on your console, except the screen is much much closer, and you can mod the game as well. When I discovered the steam deck I was blown away, I play for far longer than I should, to the point where my parents had to take away my computer so I didn't screw up my grades, well. Turns out the way they placed my computer (upside down) the graphics card fell out and broke, so my parents are getting me a steam deck to replace it, I have a lot of free time since I'm only 17, but I still feel as though I'll find a great use for this

I honestly thought about buying a Steam deck ever since it’s reveal and release but I wanted to use Windows as well, make it my new PC since my current one is old and weak to run most games I want to play so I just use it for work. I like the PS5 but I hardly play much other than play online with a friend or two, heck I have less time to do so sometimes but when I have time I want to catch up on other things and I resort to playing mobile games on my iPad. And this I looked at the Steam deck and thought about getting this because it can be my new PC, Android emulation and Stream service like Gamepass and PS Remote play, the perfect device for when I want to play game on. But as I said, the hassle of having to do extra steps to make it run Windows is yeah. I’ll probably get it somewhere down the line but right now, the ROG Ally is much more appealing to me.

I purchased the Switch because of my fond memories of Nintendo titles but as an adult, I feel like I've "aged" out of the cutesy graphics and games from Nintendo. Most of my game time is now via Steam and I'm considering selling my Switch and using the proceeds to pay for a Steam Deck. The idea of playing the same games I would be playing while sitting at my PC on a handheld on the couch or while lying in bed is too tempting to pass up at the moment. Plus, even the OLED Switch feels too small. The Steam Deck looks like a device made for adults.

i just got my steam deck, i am not really a gamer at all. i mostly play fifa 23 on my xbox which sadly wont work on my deck. so far im really just using my deck as a tablet for watching netflix or steaming sports at this point, it seems most the games i wanted to play arent available. thats okay. i am going to use it when gta 6 comes out and other new games come out on steam. i dont regret the purchase i got it on sale for 387$. so far just have a 256gb sd but planning to get 1 tb sd when i actually play games. i wish this had android play store too or something.

Great review bro. Adulting changes how i play now especially when i have kids. I rarely play now and the steam deck does it for me. I ordered the Asus Rog Ally... canceled it yesterday because Steam deck i feel is better and really has a good backing behind it. Your battery pack tho- legit! 😊

I definitely think you don’t need to upgrade from Steam Deck! It’s still so good. Kinda like how you don’t need to upgrade your phone just because a new one came out. BUT as a reviewer, I would love to try out the ROG Ally! 😊

About the case... I like being able to lock my deck in its case. Screw it that its a bit bulky, the fact that I can put a pad lock on it makes all the difference to me. Also its a hard shell case, definitely preferable.

Actually I have a lock on my Linus Tech Tips's backpack. If you really look closely you cane see they are just clips that look like loops with a lock but I am just decreasing theft from glances and I mostly keep my bags guarded. I got the key for the look in case I need to open it in places I do not trust.

Handheld! I have to say I am impressed with the deck, but with as much travel as I do, I still greatly prefer the size, battery life, and screen on my switch OLED. I admit that the ergonomics on the deck are flat out better out of the box though, and can crush the switch in library because steam.

With all these handhelds coming out, Sony should make a handheld called, PS4 Go, or Portable PS4. It would be a handheld solely for PS4 games, no dealing with INSANELY demanding PS5 games, only PS4 games. I'd buy it instantly if they made one of those. It could play all the PS4 games that are in your library, I have so many games since PS gives a few away every month for free. Shit, I'd take an xbox one handheld too. I guess there's not a whole lot of money in the handheld game compared to consoles, minus the Switch of course. Does anybody want to buy the Asus Rog Ally, please?

I use Heroic Launcher and have not had any issues so far with both GOG and Epic games (other than 1 game that didn't seem to want to run). The nice thing is that you can then add those games into steam as non-steam games so they show up in the default UI in your library.
