I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?

Honestly since I got mine a few months after they started shipping my gaming PC has mostly been collecting dust. I don't play a lot of MP games anymore, and the ability to just sit on the couch with the wife and game while she's watching TV or whatever is the best.

The 2-4 hours of battery I get has never been a problem, I'm usually ready to put it down by the time the battery is running dry.

I think for people who want to be a little more flexible with their gaming it's really the perfect system for it.
