          I love mine. Just depends on what you want. It’s an emulation powerhouse. It’s going to struggle with AAA games. Lower graphics and older games will work great, for the most part.

          I’ve had one for a little under a year and I pretty much use it most days. Typically I’m playing more indie titles, but it’ll play most games at a playable frame rate with a bit of settings tweaking

          I can’t recommend it enough. The compatibility rating on the steam game pages is pretty conservative but that’s a good indication on what you can expect to play. I installed emudeck recently so that opens up a lot of possibilities.

          I’ve had one since a few months after release. For the most part it has been a brotatodeck. Play at least one game most days. I put a fair number of hours of HOT into it last week. I have a few most hardest level brotato characters to finish. Then I’ll focus on HOT. It has totally been worth the money for me. I was playing the led switch and basically quit when I got the deck. There is still a lot of battlebit being played on my PC, but if I’m going anywhere the deck comes.

          Best value per buck you can get in gaming IMO. It’s super versatile, just works and all around brilliant machine. I use it as home desktop as well.

      Most games built using the Godot engine run flawlessly on the Steam Deck. It’s much lighter in resource requirements than the likes of Unity or Unreal.
