Well, I'm on my ROG Ally at the moment because of Game Pass, but I just finished up Cocoon. Can't recommend it enough. If it has a story, I couldn't tell you what it is, but as a puzzle game, it's fantastic. I think it strikes that balance where you feel smart without it being frustrating. Portal does that too. This was my favorite puzzle game of the year, easily.
I’m sure I would love the rog ally, and like a dolt I paid for the 512gb Steam deck.
Ultimately though, the deck does everything I want. I don’t care for Windows so I’m happy it runs on Linux. I love the trackpads.
Still though, I’ve seen the videos that compare performance and I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t love the boost. I’m not sad about my choice, but I wish I had enough money to rock both of them.
Exciting times for handheld gaming, that’s for sure.
