I was thinking that as I played, too. I was joyful.
So many games these days are so heavy it’s so refreshing to have a game that’s happy as hell. I love RE2s and Elden Rings but effff they’re stressful/hard and sometimes feel like work. It is so refreshing to punch out a giant gorilla with my rocket dog friend while there’s some upbeat music playing.
Also who doesn’t love some great Halloween stages?
Yeah I’d love a modern stream machine kinda Deck plugged into a TV.
For now PlayStation is nicer for TV where I can get better performance from the couch with quick resume and all. If I could get a static Deck without portable power consumption limits and decent output on a 4K display that would be ideal. But right now the Deck works docked but when blown up to TV size so many games are a low rez mess. If we could get a proper SteamOS that I could install into a media center PC I’d make it myself. All I’d hope for then is a second gen Steam Controller.
