A triple-A game I’ve been eyeing is finally down to a reasonable price on a third party website.
But after seeing how much better Diablo IV performs on my friend’s Xbox, I am really disappointed in myself for buying the PC version to play on my Steam Deck. I play mostly docked and connected to a TV, so the visual experience is something I value.
Diablo IV isn’t the first game I’ve regret purchasing on PC instead of Xbox. For older games, the Steam Deck is great; but it seems like modern games I really need to be wary of. You know what they say, fool me once, strike one, fool me twice… strike… three.
Has anyone else had a similar experience, wishing they’d spent the money on another platform? Is there a rule of thumb you follow on what to purchase, where?
Would it be okay to list the specific games I’m wondering about for input? I love my Steam Deck; but I’d rather not feel platform envy again.
This has been my challenge… The whole reason I bought a Steam Deck was to experience Steam Games that I couldn’t already play on Xbox/PS5/Switch.
TBH - there aren’t a lot…
The big recent one has been the System Shock remake… Buuuuut… it’s Windows only (at least the demo was), so there are extra steps involved there.
It looks like the full release runs natively on the Steam Deck fine.
