Won’t upgrade unless I could at least afford 2, just because while it’s a good price overall I can’t justify it after only a year of use.

That being said, it’s a great device from what I gather and well worth the upgrade, I’ve just always been a sort of ‘simple will do’ kinda guy - there’s no real need to upgrade!

Very frustrating. Deleted Remnant 2 for now which feels like a failure of the system or something. Since then it hasn’t happened again, oh well

Yeah Elden Ring is unorthodox as an answer but honestly it was the only game since BOTW that gave me that feeling of freedom and wonder. I think the novelty in the world being so contrasting in its style and genre, and of course the difficulty in combat, make it just as satisfying if not more so. I would say Zelda is a better game for exploration but Elden Ring surpasses in so much, that they are pretty much equals.

Then there’s Fenyx rising as people have said.

Outer Wilds I think isn’t similar much but it’s just one of those games you MUST play. I still can’t stop thinking about it since I finished, and now must live vicariously through others experiencing it for the first time. Play it. Play. It.

Mario Odyssey? Calm tone, open-ish world

FOMO tries to convince you yes, but more often than not each day that passes your better senses bring about more rational thoughts - the upgrades are substantial, but negligible when it comes to what makes the Steam Deck what it is, a portable gaming device. Waiting until the next generation won’t be so hard, as your current model will last you until then and you will be able to save until then and be first in line x
