My girlfriend isn’t a gamer but she loves playing games when she decides to try them, she loved Hogwarts Legacy, YuGiOh Master Deck and Dragonball Z Kakarot but she played them because she knew the franchises and liked them. We’re also playing it takes two together and she loves it.
My hunch is she’d never buy herself a steamdeck but she’d enjoy one if she had it. So I’m thinking about getting her one for Christmas (alongside some other presents she 100% wants just in case I’m wrong…)
She also loves The Sims 4, and played a lot of Age of Empires and Theme Hospital growing up.
So I have four questions:
-
What games do you think could be a contender given what she liked playing above?
-
She doesn’t have a steam account so I was thinking about making her one myself using another email, buying games on there that she’d like and changing the email over once I gift it to her, are there any flaws in that plan?
-
Is it simple to add emulators?
-
What’s the return window like if she really doesn’t like it? Haha
Two Point Hospital! It’s based off of Theme Hospital I think, my BFF got me into it and it’s an entertaining game.
It’s gonna depend on how complicated she likes things, if she prefers something attached to a whole franchise, etc.
I don’t know about the technical details re: the email address, but it probably would be best for her to set it up with hers, it’s going to take a while for the games to download anyway.
It’s very simple to add emulators, a bit more complicated to set games up and get them downloaded to the right folder unless you attach a keyboard/mouse.
I would honestly probably talk to her about it? It’s a big purchase to make as a surprise.
