As someone who has been primarily a PC gamer since I was a kid and never enjoyed consoles that much, the Steam Deck is mind blowing. It took me a long time to buy it because I usually play games that generally don't fit the handheld style very well and I was unsure how the deck would handle those, but eventually decided to give it a shot. 1) It doesn't matter if a game doesn't fit the handheld style. The deck is by all means a regular computer; plug a USB-C hub with a monitor and a M+KB and you're instantly good to go. I thought this experience would be crappy but the performance is insane for its price point. Obviously you won't be able to max AAA games, but it handles them quite well still. I organized my work desk so that all of my Macbook accessories passed through a single hub, and when I want to play something I simply unplug the hub from my computer and put it into the deck. Instant gaming machine. 2) Whole thing is extremely customisable and full of buttons. If you don't like the controls for a particular game, you can just make your own or download a layout from the community. 3) It actually got me to enjoy the handheld style. The small screen and trying to read really small text bothered me at first, but for some reason I feel that my brain and eyes "adapted" to it. Now, when I play with it on the couch, I get the same "feeling" as if I was playing on a huge screen and it doesn't bother me anymore. Not sure how to describe this, it was a really interesting surprise for me.
