Just curious, because personally I bought it mostly with a hope that I will start playing games again and I’m overthinking if it will be what I needed.
Lately (for 2 years) feeling kinda depressed and not really playing games, finished one title (Disco Elysium) in this time. I have some backlog at steam but I’m thinking if I’ll even use the deck…
If you don’t enjoy gaming now, it might be complicated to figure out why. Usually it comes from other distractions that block you. I enjoy some games so much more on the steam deck. I also recommend to play smaller good games like Inside or Limbo. If you have the spare money, go for it, if money is tight, buy running shoes or go swimming or cycling. And come back to gaming once you feel it.
For me it’s about mixing up genres. I used to only play FPS games and then got tired of gaming period. Got into RPGs and indie games and now I rotate and play a bunch of different games. Keeps me interested in gaming.
