Okay, I love the steam deck so much I almost bought my whole family 64 gigabit decks. Even the cheapest deck with a solid gaming rig blow your socks off. I actually think it’s my preferred setup now. I have the top tier version of the lcd steam deck and while I have all this space. I mostly stream my games fro My pc. My OC isn’t even plugged into a tv. It’s plugged into my router and….sits i Next to my router. When I need to play a game off of it I stream it too my deck. THIS, is the most efficient t way to use your steam deck. The steam deck is insanely good at streaming with steam link, and so when your playing a AAA title like doom Eternal , halo infinite, war hammer dark tide: the deck rarely uses more than 30% it’s maximum capacity streaming the heavy lifting that your actual computer is doing in real time. This can also be achieved with the steam link which might be a better deal for some folks.

If you don’t have a gaming pc already the deck lacks power. Streaming game pass games on it is fun and incredibly satisfying, but still will have you leaving your deck to go play that game you CANT play on the deck. I initially wanted to get back into destiny 2, but ….once again bungie has to be that ONE millennial hipster and not support the steam deck. I hear good things about legion go, rog I think satisfies people who want something stronger, but annoys people who didn’t already come from a steam deck or a Nintendo switch. SD trolls the asus rog ally at 15 watts, but everything else goes to the ally. Someone made a post about the decks incredible “pause and pick back up Where you left off” feature, which is nice, but isn’t really applicable to games that are pvp multiplayer. Your not gonna be able to pause your fortnight regardless of which hand held you use, but the ally will At least do better with the epic game store considering it’s window OS.

Real question is what kind of games you looking to Play?
