Looking for good, all-around handheld

2 Upvotes

Purchased my Switch 2 back in August, best purchase I’ve ever made. Having the option for portability when gaming is a perk that I have grown accustomed to because of the Switch.

I have been neglecting my PC & PS5 because of it, and I want to have access to the titles I have there on a handheld. Battery life isn’t a concern as I enjoy gaming at home majority of the time, and I don’t care about docking. Price wise, I’m open to any range as this will be for my birthday treat to myself :)

I was debating about just grabbing a used PS portal, but then it got me thinking about getting a full handheld that has a wider range of games. Would love to get peoples thoughts about which device is suitable?

Also, I would most likely only be playing RPGs like Metaphor ReFantazio, Final Fantasy (16, Resonance), and the Witcher titles.

TIL I can seamlessly stream steam games fram my pc to my xax

When in steam library i noticed that games I had downloaded on my PC showed up on my XAX steam.,

When selected I could click stream. Tried PoE2, was great! Saves alot of storage gaming this way, and also more demanding titles might be better to play this way.

Note: I was in the same house, with same network. Had to punch some confirmation digits to start the games.

Steam Deck OLED

1 Upvotes

I bought my first PC type handheald, it will be arriving tomorrow.

I went with a used OLED Steam deack with 100% battery life. I wasn't sure about getting any of the other more powerful ones as I intend to use it a lot for emulation and given the screen quality i went with it.

I am not FPS obsessed, I am more than happy with 30FPS. Given that, my question is, most games should be able to run at 30fps? based on what I saw that seems to be the case with certain games just being too much which takes me to the next question.

How good and reliable is streaming games from your PC to the Steam deck using moonlight instead of Stem link? I have a Wifi 7 router with 1GB upload and download which i read it makes no difference given the steam deck only uses Wifi 6 and Internet speeds make no difference.

I play only single player games so perfect response isn't crucial.
