The Lenovo legion go gen 2 looks like a much more powerful machine, especially if you put linux on it. Bigger screen too. However it also costs like two grand.

Hurrah! I don’t download much - I don’t have a lot of screen time and I tend to play games slowly - but I also have slow internet, this is great for me. Don’t know why steam deck didn’t do this before but I’m glad it will now.

Cyberpunk. I started it a few months ago, got bored about ten hours in and put it down, played Prey (which was fuckin great!) then I went back to cyberpunk and got the taste. I’m almost 200 hrs in at the mo and loving it. Got a couple more jobs to do then I’m starting the Dogtown stuff. Impressive how well it plays on steam deck.

Yeah right. If a new steam deck comes out in two or three years, I’ll probably be about ready to upgrade. Right now my existing deck is great and does all I need it to. Best bit of tech I’ve bought in many years.

Just to add that I did buy shotgun king and I’m enjoying it. But it’s not plain chess, and that’s what I am looking for!

Looks great, thanks!

Thanks for the detailed response. Yeah, I’d thought the LAN thing would be tricky - the issue is that where we live, we have to rely on mobile hotspots for internet connectivity and the speed isn’t the best. It’s usable, I think we were just hoping to find a more effective workaround! And thanks for the suggestions too, I’ll check em out.

I’m still mostly playing doom 2016.

I had a twenty year break from gaming and I’ve been trying to catch up since I got the steam deck but I remain pretty crap. I’m playing doom on little bitch mode and still finding it a challenge. I’m about half way through, I don’t get a lot of gaming time.

I keep starting other games but not getting into them. But I think I’m gonna give dishonoured a try too.

Steam deck is probably the best machine I’ve bought in years.

Alien isolation Uncharted legacy of thieves Resident evil Bioshock infinite.

I’m just getting back into gaming after a twenty year gap so I’ve got loads to catch up on. I’ve been enjoying FPS stuff, but I’m frustratingly bad, even on easy mode. Need more time for practise but work long hours, ho hum. Hopefully I’ll find time to try all of the above. Recently finished bioshock original and loved it.

Tbh the physics makes crashes pretty fun. I do a lot of driving for my job and try to be a responsible, careful driver. So it’s nice to fire up the steam deck sometimes and drive like a complete wanker!

I’ve just started playing beam ng drive. Looks great so far, but I’m pretty shit at it.
