I'd get it on Steam but i hear it's coming to switch so i might wait for that.
While you'll pay a premium for it, it is perfect for a controller and short burst gaming. Its worth it if you can't wait though.
yea thanks that's my thinking. i hate being tied to desktop for certain games. i don't have a steamdeck so I'll have to wait for the switch where they'll probably charge me double for the convenience lol
Man, but the steam deck really is a solid purchase.
I have a sweet gaming rig but I haven't openedva game on it since I got my deck.
It's the same for me, I just play everything on my steam deck now
You could use the Steam link app on your phone and basically any Bluetooth controller.
thanks i wasn't aware of this. I'll look in to it
I'm not sure if they are still around but you used to be able the get a steam link and a Bluetooth controller and play games in your living room if you wanted to
The hardware isn't anymore. I bought a second for dirt cheap when they decided to end it. They still make updates though. The replacement is a cell phone app.
It really is a charming game. I think this article does a good job describing some of is delights. What really struck me though is that the main mechanics are things that you'd find in a leechy freemium mobile game. But they're layered in complimentary loops that make the whole FAR more than the sum of it's parts.
Funny you say that, it actually started AS a mobile game. Then they changed directions, but you're right you can still feel some of it still in there.
Between this and Dredge, it has been a wonderful year for the Deck.
I really like it, but as I was just talking about with my wife... over time I think it becomes a little too story/quest-focused for my personal taste. What's there is good, don't get me wrong, but I kinda just want to sit down and play sometimes, but right now it's just very cutscene and forced-quest heavy. I think being able to save and quit any time I want would go a long way towards alleviating that.
