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?
It’s my first experience with PC gaming and I’m really happy with it. Coming from a console background I can honestly say it sits perfectly between a console and PC experience. Valve have done a fantastic job making it easy for newcomers to PC gaming by making it similar to something like a switch with Steam OS mode and allowing the user to change to a pc setup easily in Desktop mode. I won’t lie you will need to spend a lot of time changing settings regarding performance for games. Some games will require different settings and sometimes doing this breaks immersion. But overall it’s worth it because the console is awesome and it’s probably my favourite handheld device of all time
