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?
If you play Deck verified games then I believe Valve has done the background work to make it run well on the deck. Other games will play but you may have to spend some time tweaking things to get it working well. This is not always the case but I think might be considered a “rule of thumb”.
