Super excited! It came in yesterday and I spent most of the day learning the ins-and-and-outs of the deck while loading it up with games. I'm very impressed how good it feels in my hands, sturdy build but light.
I've had mine for a month or two now. I think I spent the first week just modding Skyrim...not even playing. Since then, that's the only game I've put any significant amount of time in to. After all, I've already played it on PC, Xbox, and Playstation, I couldn't not play it on Steam Deck!
Have you played any of the newer, more resource intensive games on it yet? If so, how was the experience? I've been thinking about getting one myself but I'm still a little unsure on how well it performs.
Damn, I will sound like some kind of YouTube shill, but if you search game title steam deck on YT, there are usually some good videos that showcase what you can expect. Wow a few channels upload daily and stay up to date with newest releases- good and bad.
I just got Cyberpunk 2077 downloaded and running. Plays great and the gyro aiming really takes the game to another level. The deck does get pretty warm but it plays smoothly.
