So let's get into this Steam Deck review to reveal the good, the bad and the other about this handheld console. The kind of urges that a Nintendo Switch cannot always satisfy. Namely: RPG players, action-adventure and side-scroller enthusiasts, indie gamers, and petrol heads faced with the daily monotony of riding on public transport. All so that we can more actively ignore said world, and get on with grinding for XP in our favourite, far-off worlds, while catching some real-life rays of sunshine.Īlthough the Steam Deck is not one for the ultra-competitive gamer, you'll see soon enough that it lends itself to certain genres, as well as those who rock a certain lifestyle. With it, we can take our precious PC games and so much more out into the world, in a supremely practical form factor.

Since many of us have been confined to our quarters, stuck in our best gaming chairs, for what has felt like aeons, Steam Deck has swooped in to satisfy a growing urge. The Steam Deck is a portable, Linux-based gaming device that couldn't have arrived at a more appropriate time (well, if you can even find one to buy, at T3 we waited agggges to get hold of one).
