Most of the Steam Deck’s positives have been unanimous, with Game Informer, Polygon, The Washington Post, and pretty much everyone else praising its ability to play so many games from their Steam libraries in a more portable fashion. And of course the portability itself has been a big talking point as the Steam Deck offers better performance, better visuals, and a more extensive selection than it’s only real competitor: the Nintendo Switch.
Another common standout is the ability to thoroughly customize control layouts, thanks to the Steam Deck basically being a gaming PC mushed into a portable form. Similarly, most reviewers appreciate the overall build quality and the feel of most of the physical control buttons — particularly the control sticks, haptic pads, and gyroscopic options.
Then there’s the Steam Deck’s openness for customization and repair. Due to it being a gaming PC, as previously mentioned, users have the option to install additional apps or even a new operating system (it comes with Linux preinstalled), and by all accounts it’s quite simple to expand the device’s internal storage. And it’s been designed with parts repair and replacement in mind — though Valve recommends that you don’t actually do any of that yourself if you aren’t familiar with hardware maintenance.
