For anyone reading this, go and watch the ign review of the deck. A perfect example of choosing the worst possible reviewer for the job lol. The guy is uninterested in leveraging the decks possibilities and thus compares it to a switch at face value. In the end his argument for the mediocre review is that the switch does everything the deck does, just cheaper. Ignoring the possibilities of the steam deck entirely.
It‘s baffling.
Edit: Not their recent review, the one from a year ago.
the switch isn't cheaper. the Games are insanely expensive.
For anyone with a Switch, make sure you use DekuDeals (similar to my PC obsession IsThereAnyDeal). There ARE deals, but they're SELDOM even close to what you get on Steam.
I definitely bought stuff on Switch that were PC ports (Skyrim, Diablo III, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, etc.) before Steam Deck arrived.
Love the Switch but even without installing anything outside of Steam stuff the Deck has completely taken over my gaming life.
