Steam deck is my mobile choice. Switch hasn't got much hope beating that on 7 month deployments at sea.

Well I've not played either of them. Maybe time to pop one on deck.

Not surprised at all. Bought it for my steam deck as I am away for a few months. But already have it on PS. And already rebought Witcher 3 for similar reasons. Some games for me are annually replayable.

I'd play it on psvr2, shame I'd have to buy it on pc to do it.
F1 23 on steam with psvr2 is bonkersly good.
Why it's done elsewhere and not PS5 is just silly.

@Matroska it's a comparison article. So I reckon there's more standard owners trying to work out what the fuss is about. Zero was the answer.

Multiplayer options are irrelevant. I started out single player in the 70's or local coop in the living room. I haven't experienced an online part of a game in over a decade as its generally an awful experience. Apart from racing, then it's great to play virtual dodgems with all the carp as I never play enough to get top leagues. But my kids do nothing else. Bit of balance there.

There must be a lot of original ps5 owners that don't join in this site because I don't believe for a second that many people have shelled out for the next 1/2 gen when games are still being released for ps4.

I was hoping for something like Elite Dangerous with a back story that wasn't all text on galnet. Shame it turned out less so. But if it comes to plus, which would be hilarious as the game was the reason xbox bought them, then okay.

I love steam deck but it's only there for when at sea. Thing is it is also cursed by developers always online approach which for a handheld is silly at best. So I can't play EA or Rockstar away. Ps5 and pc are the biggies when at home.

It's a proper chalk and cheese game isn't it. I got the game with my ps plus ps5 purchase and never played it. Bought it for 7 quid on steam and played it four or five times through on deck.

It shows that ps plus games are often ignored over purchases for me. I have completed on ps5 now on a big screen and it's a belter. Free roam instead of tlou handholding is for me a lot better. Controversial I know.

F1 manager 24, latest free game from Epic that I don't subscribe anything to and runs wonderfully on my steam deck. Daughter has ps5 this weekend for NBA 25 or something.

@JAMes-BroWWWn Days Gone is obviously too scary for you.

Whilst the premise sounds great and rebellion are a pretty reliable studio, that looks old already. But that isn't a bad thing as long as it plays well. Stories are not defined by looks alone.

One of the best games I've played. I also have it on Steam so I can take away on steam deck. The horde mechanics are incredible. The story is excellent and it's the most underrated ps4 post apocalypse game. I shall be getting the extra on PC, but will definitely get it on PS5.

Somebody buys it...

Well we paid for a service. Yes they gave us five days back. I'm glad everyone now sees what this always online madness is going to do to your digital purchases. Void and unusable. Sony need to find a way of letting you own your purchases no matter it be drive or digital. PC users face the same drivel from the power hungry like EA and Rockstar.

I'm in Malta on holiday. So 5 days for nowt.happy days.

Knew this gen was never going to work whilst away for months on a ship, without WiFi. I could have used ps4 or ps3 but opted on a steam deck. Now unless you are online you can't.play single player anything from EA, or Rockstar. I managed to get Ubisoft working after a faff, but you need internet to start. It's annoying when you've bought your licence or whatever garbage they call it this year, but I bought it. It may say in the 50000 page smallprint that I must always be online, anyone read it. Mass effect on steam needs an EA login and always online, no multilayer, just corpo neredowells forcing their rules on us. It's only getting worse going digital.

Some call this vr abandoned, I call it an excellent ps5 and steam headset too. So if I want it in vr I shall buy on steam, probably for less.

@Quintumply then you're lost, probably in space. It's a silly platformer at best.

Astrobot is not Sci fi, its a psn platform er full of gaming references. May aswell have put spyro there, or crash. But there's a lot of off the wall features lately.

I have a Kingston trackball on my pc. Hate mouse cramp. Played.Killzone with keyboard.and mouse.on PS2 with a ps2 adaptor.of all things. But no, no more thanks.

Astrobot is as Sci fi as my left trainer. Elite Dangerous is a Sci fi game. No man's sky is a Sci fi game. The outer world's is a Sci fi game.

Last one immediately turned me away. Swords and first person was just too much. If it had a witcher perspective I'd be in.

Days Gone actually thrives on PC with it getting a new lease of life. Plays amazing on Steam Deck too, so after been given it for free on ps5 I didn't actually play and complete it until I got the PC version. Which I kick myself for because it's such an amazing game.

Forza 4.was my first foray on steam deck. Its a great arcade racer. This may be a good sideline too

Haven't bought a new game in so long now. Bought Outlaws for £30, and Cyberpunk Ultimate for £35 from a retailer, months after launch so it's actually working. Those that buy it new are just my QA and I wait for news that the game is in a better state and cheap enough for me. Don't get me wrong, Robocop was released by OCEAN in the 80's and we find out years later that you could never complete it. So at least games can be fixed. Price wise though GTA will be in profit in a week if not sooner. They could charge £10 and the result would be the same. I don't play online but have V on three playstation generations. Rockstar are a brand that just generates money.

I don't want to lose my boot up screen...

Just leave it to indie developers and take your cut. Stick to what you know.

Plug it in your PC, it's brilliant.

I have God of War. But there's enough there for a thumbs up from me.

Nintendo does great things! I don't do Nintendo but my wife and kids do. They stopped competing directly since game cube. Wii was different and great as was switch. I have a steam deck pc and ps5, wife and daughters have switch. They feed a different gamer market in my mind.

Well if Bend are no longer making crap, Days Gone 2 should get a go. Its turned into a classic with psn and pc players alike.

We're at the point in entertainment subscriptions now that you have to subscribe inside a subscription. Please let it stop. I have Premier purely because I forgot to cancel my offer, but I like it so much I barely buy any games which is surely hurting developers if we all go this way.

30 quid at Argos so I took a punt. Happy at the moment. Different to the EA games which is for the better. A right old mix of gta, creed, tomb raider and the like, space bit isnt amazing but suffices. Goes to show reviews and perceptions.

Remember when C64 and Speccy 48/128 used to have the same games all the time, just pick your fave machine. That's when gaming was great. I hope ps reciprocate and we don't.lose xbox.

Ubisoft, EA, and Rockstar do it. It's nothing new. It kills single player games on the go with steam deck for some of them too. Sorted Ubisoft but can't get mass effect, a single.player game bought off steam, to work without Internet. Let's just see what happens.

I've already jumped. Steam deck and pc. I still have ps5 and Premier plus as its a cheap way of having loads of games. Haven't bought one since forbidden west.

Hot pursuit for me. Won't buy another unless it says burnout. Happy days.

Since the racing genre is all but ignored, and gt7 does it weirdly, I got a steam adapter and play f1 23, ACC and Automobilista 2 in VR on PC instead. Cheers Sony.

@MarkCernysLoveEgg best buy and find out. It's worth it.

@Serialsid the sole reason I bought/made a pc. Pure console gamer then Elite Dangerous loses console support and psvr2 dies on its feet unless you want a horror or slightly iffy shooter. This PC better bloody stand up for a few years yet... 🤣

@Serialsid f1 23 on steam is a corker, and assetto corsa competizione, and automobilista 2. Vr is perfect for sim racing. I know I'm lucky to have a pc too just for games.

Not much bought for ps5 but its hammered via steam. Great kit.

@Juanalf I have horizon, days gone and a couple of others for on the go. It's niche, but so is portal.

@breakneck steam deck is awesome, love mine, but rather niche I'll agree. I have a reason to have one which goes away next September. Will the deck gather dust then I wonder...

As long as its as open as my steam deck. Non of this silly card stuff. Deck is amazing until you have to go offline then EA, Rockstar and the like won't let you play their single player games. I use my deck at sea and ps5/pc at home. Each device will have its key audience. The vita is still good but far too small.

Her acting was more akin to solid oak that action

I'm a Femshep preferee. Only because the bloke voice actor was so wooden.
So if its a Shep story there will be disappointment abound because everyone sees Shep their way.
But am prepared to be entertained, the expanse made a good citadel like space station. But Shohreh Aghdashloo has already done that too. Many reasons why the day has passed.

Makes it nearly, not really, as much as the pc I just built. Which also doesn't have an optical drive... 😂 but it does have f1 in vr via psvr2.
