Twinblade★ 4,074 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-review Quote But those dizzying highs are all too often snapped away by insurmountable compatibility issues with SteamOS, and installing Windows to get around those comes with its own set of problems. I’ve lost count of how often I’ve been left frustrated and annoyed to have to troubleshoot issues when trying to play a game for the first time. Battery life is another major buzzkill – if you’re not careful with each game’s settings you can blow through a full charge faster than a train ride from Boston to Manhattan. Sure, it’ll last a lot longer if all you want is to play low-power indies, but in that case the Switch is a smoother experience for less money. So while I can certainly recommend the Steam Deck with some major caveats, including a noisy fan and comparably long loading times, I’m definitely not as head-over-heels in love with it as I hoped I’d be when I first opened the box. Lmao! The hermits have been destroyed Link to post Share on other sites

TLHBO 2,212 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Oh I checked some of this guys other reviews too because you need to background check reviewers in this day and age. This is what he considers a "9" in a handheld https://www.ign.com/articles/game-and-watch-legend-of-zelda-edition-review $50 gets you: - a handheld designed 40 years ago - Rom of NES Zelda 1 - Rom of NES Zelda 2 (everyone's favourite) - Rom of Gameboy Link's awakening (Not even the GBC DX release) - One screen game & watch title "Vermin" Clearly Valve has their work cut our for them if they are to meet this reviewers lofty standards Edited March 16, 2022 by TLHBO Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,832 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 You mean this Nintendo Switch? https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/03/08/nintendo-switch-review That also scored a 7/10 ? What I think is HILARIOUS... is that a handheld PC, which runs games through a compatibility layer, has most games "unverified" and who's operating system and UI interface are all very work-in-progress..... managed to score the same as the Switch at launch Just like IGN updated their Nintendo Switch review later on.... so too will they update their Steam Deck review... because it's going to improve.. a lot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I heard this already worked via chromium based browsers but microsoft mentions the controls so I'm not sure if you needed an external controller previously or not. I'm not really sure because I dont pay attention to anything xbox (since it has no games). Link to post Share on other sites
