Steam Deck Review in Progress

IGN published this video item, entitled “Steam Deck Review in Progress” – below is their description.

Steam Deck review in progress by Seth G. Macy.

The Steam Deck is a well-built piece of hardware that feels good to hold and play on. When you’re playing a Valve-approved game it’s actually incredible to get this kind of performance out of a device so small and compact, even if the battery can be gone in a flash if you’re not careful. But on the eve of its official launch, it isn’t the smooth user experience I had hoped it would be. Aside from the frustrations I’ve come to expect and accept from PC gaming, the biggest problem I’ve encountered has been spotty compatibility with SteamOS. The dream of being able to play everything in your library on the go is a long way from being realized, and not being able to use Windows just yet makes a lot of those problems temporarily insurmountable – plus it means I haven’t been able to run our usual PC benchmarking tools. So it’s impossible to land on a judgment right now because I literally don’t know what the Steam Deck will be able to do by the time the first retail unit arrives at a paying customer’s home. But that won’t last for long, so check back soon for the final review and score.
