It advertises being the easiest way to get into PC gaming and I really hope that’s true and that’s been my biggest selling point along with it’s price tag. I’ve never rly been a pc gamer and find it’s a bit complicated. I barely got the tech skills to install some emulators on my laptop. Comparing the Steam Deck to competitors like the Legion Go and Rouge Alley which have better specs at only a little larger price tag but how user friendly are they? Is the Steam Deck really any easier to use then these competitors?
I haven’t tried to do anything so far besides install games from my steam library, and run them with the default settings, and everything’s been smooth and easy so far. The only thing I’ve had an issue with was an audio bug in Hades after restoring from sleep, which easily resolved by saving, quitting, and reopening the game. As others have said in this thread, it really is the closest PC gaming is going to be to a console-like experience where games “just work”.
