In the late 90s and early 2000s, I liked to mess around with hardware. I’m going to have a lot to choose from among the best PC games… I still like to tinker (but in a less daring manner) Dozens of Humble Bundles have seen to that - not to mention the ability to stream titles via Game Pass. It’s also because of the ridiculous size of my Steam library. This is partly because of the Steam Deck’s design - being able to play a couple of levels in bed, or while my partner watches TV could be a real help. The Steam Deck won’t fix that, but it should at least mean I can make more of a dent in it. Like all gamers of a certain age with a job and other responsibilities, my gaming backlog has become insurmountable. If nothing else, that’s going to get completed on Steam Deck.

I absolutely loved the Phoneix Wright games on Nintendo DS, but haven’t been able to get into the latest one on Steam because… well, who wants to sit down at a desk to read what’s essentially an interactive graphic novel on a screen? I’ve heard the Persona series - something that I’ve never tried, but always wanted to - is especially good for this.Īnother one I might finally play properly? The Ace Attorney Chronicles.

And that feels like a great way of tackling long-term games when I only have a few minutes here and there. No, the Steam Deck apparently excels on games that you can dip into thanks to the Quick Resume feature. It apparently works on Steam Deck now, but I won’t be playing it there - I don’t want my KDA to tank any further by hobbling myself with a tiny screen and gamepad controls.

I would conservatively estimate that 90% of my PC gaming time is spent on Hunt Showdown.
