Good example. I actually tried that game on my Deck and bailed.
However, I played through Human Resource Machine on my Deck and loved it. Both have a similar control scheme, but I think the difference is the amount of interactivity vs thinking. But maybe the next person will have the opposite experience.
However, the verified stamp doesn’t mean playing it with the built in controller is the best UX, it just means it works well enough to access all content. Whether using the controller is ideal for you is up to you. I still watch the gameplay videos to get a feel for whether it’ll be a good experience on the Deck.
That said, there are certainly things I don’t like about my Deck. For example, I wish the screen was OLED, the charging port doesn’t feel solid, I randomly get the performance overlay stuck and need to reboot, and the charging cable should be detachable. The Switch is still a way better overall experience, but the Deck isn’t competing directly against the Switch, it’s competing with other PC handhelds, and I think it holds up pretty well in those comparisons, warts and all.
I also get the perf overlay showing getting stuck there sometimes, it is really annoying.
Don’t understand what you mean about the charging cable that should be detachable ? I charge my deck via usb-c so the cable is detachable, is it not what you use ? Or did you mean something else ?
The main reason I love the steam deck, is that it can theoretically run almost any games, I hate platform exclusives, with the deck I can emulate most console, including the switch
I mean I can’t separate the USBC cable from the brick, which means I can’t just replace one or the other. Also, the USB port is kinda loose, though it still works.
