But other than that, it accomplishes the same purpose: gaming on the go. The Steam Deck carries the same idea, with more powerful hardware, a larger screen, more buttons, more sophisticated features such as a built-in gyroscope and trackpads. See, the idea of portable gaming is certainly not new. The Steam Deck is more or less the same thing.
For instance, Portal came into existence only because they borrowed and expanded upon the already existing concept of teleporting from one area to the next from DigiPen Institute of Technology’s Narbacular Drop. All of their other products, whether it be other games in their software catalog or their failed hardware projects, were built upon the idea of someone else. Let me explain: as far as I know, the Half-Life series is the ONLY original idea Valve has ever created. But in a lot of other ways, the Steam Deck is another product from Valve in which they heavily borrow from the ideas of others and build upon it in their own way. The Steam Deck is, in some ways, evolutionary. To me, though, I just simply think it doesn’t live up to the hype. Well, I know this is going to be a controversial take, because I know based on the other reviews I’ve read/watched, many people think the Steam Deck is a revolution. I’ve had quite a few people asking me what I think about it so far, whether it lives up to the hype, etc. Let me just say this: I’m honored people actually still want my take on the Steam Deck, despite the hundreds of other reviews out there. But now that it’s in my hands, I’m surprised at myself for not using it as much as I’d like. Admittedly, the wait was almost unbearable. If my arm was broken and I was bedridden, or if I commuted to work via train or even a bus, maybe then I would have much more appreciation for the Deck and be using it a lot more frequently.
Occasionally I’ll bring it with me in my car, but I’ve only had brief periods of time to actually use it then. My Deck, for the most part, has been sitting on my bedside table. And soon I will likely have a guide on how to emulate Nintendo Switch games on it (fight me, Nintendo).īut up until this point, I haven’t written a review. I’ve had the device for a little longer than three weeks now, and in the process I’ve covered things such as how it handles Super Smash Bros Melee, how it handles the Portal series in comparison to the Nintendo Switch port, written a guide on how to get plugins installed and running, and covered the numerous updates that have come to the device.
There’s kind of been a reason why I’ve held off from writing a review of the Steam Deck.
