I'm a multi-platform gamer and I guess I'm just the exception. I'm struggling to find reasons to turn the deck on and even keep it charged.

I'm not averse to Steam games. I picked up En Garde which was a fun little title for as long as it lasted (which wasn't long).

I picked up Cursed to Golf because I thought it looked fun... and it's not really. :(

I'm looking forward to that cat game if it ever comes out, but that looks like one better on consoles.

Baldur’s Gate 3 - Better played on my 65" television through the PS5.

Vampire Survivors - I played the hell out of this... when it was called "Robotron 2084" in 1982, with better graphics. Alternately when it was a free, hidden game called Geometry Wars packed in with Project Gotham Racing 2 in 2003, also with better graphics.

I guess my major complaint is the graphics. I don't suppose it can be re-skinned or anything?

Dave the Diver - Not really interested in indie games or sim games.

Hogwarts Legacy - Platinumed on PS5, GREAT game.

Elden Ring - Not masochistic enough for Souls games.

Palworld - Would literally rather open my wrists.

Cyberpunk 2077 - Again, 65" television, this one through the Xbox Series X.

Grand Theft Auto 5 - Never really been interested in the GTA games. 4 was OK, I guess.

Stardew Valley - Sim game. Meh.

Red Dead Redemption - Loved this game... in 2010... 2 never clicked for me. It was slow and the controls were super janky.

Respectfully, it sounds like you may be the exception.

Sounds like you already own all the consoles that a steam deck can emulate/replace. I'm on the other side of the spectrum where the deck allows me to experience a console life, with my pc library. Never owned a ps5, or Xbox or any of that, so a Steam deck offers me the experience of couch gaming, TV gaming, or mt favorite, sit in bed all day an watch TV on my deck!
