Can’t believe Valve pulled it off, honestly. Multi-year project to make Linux gaming a reality and then they launched it and not only did everyone love it, but they still love it. Honeymoon phase has worn off and people are still down with the Steam Deck. Even normies like it, not just Linux nerds.
My steam deck is still regularly used. I can’t say the same for my switch.
It’s just so versatile in what it can do, since it’s a PC at its core.
And being able to play a vast majority of my library, then pick it up later on my main PC if I wish is a huge bonus.
I love relaxing on my couch and still being able to play.
Plus there’s barely a reason to use a switch with how well yuzu runs. And come steamOS 3.5 and its SMT fix, yuzu will run even better.
I haven’t really used Yuzu, mostly because I don’t know where to get switch games nowadays.
I’d say if you intend to use it as a portable PC (as in, bringing a keyboard and mouse, or even using it with an external monitor as well), then it can play simcity or civ well.
If you’re intending to just use it as a handheld, then no, the Witcher 3 would be a better style of game for it. Touchscreen just isn’t the same for a mouse-heavy game.
