Steam deck works great for tons of games. Battery life is an issue, but if you just want to plug it in in a hotel room the start gaming its amazing. I don't really think its about better vs a switch. I've never used the switch, but I'm sure I'd be happy with one of those too if I had any games. Never thought about it, but I have hundreds of games on steam, so deck is great.... Even though I play a few specific games like 90% of the time.
I travel with mine and it’s great. Have a magnetic lithium battery I can use for backup battery but I’ve never used it for the deck as I don’t play for hours on end and can charge it between playing, or just have it plugged in while playing in the hotel bed. I did play it for a long time on a flight once but there are plugs on flights now so it wasn’t an issue.
I have a switch but there isn't much I really want to play on it. Was more interested in other manufacturers offerings like the rog ally, etc.
I recall trying them both in the past and not liking the UI/controls on Deck.
I've only had it one day but I agree. Something about how flat the switch 2 feels makes it feel worse
I was really bummed that xcom wasn't better on the deck. Thats one of the main games I was looking forward to playing. Couldn't get used to the controls and I was constantly clicking the wrong square.
Wartales plays nice on the deck. I know it’s not xcom but it has some similarities and I remember you playing it before. I think.
