Hello I was wondering what games would you recommend not playing on the steam deck. Because from what I have seen the steam deck can play nearly any game that you throw at it.

  • games that can't keep a stable 40 fps in native 1280x800 or 1280x720 with medium settings. So a lot of AAA-games (and a few badly optimized AA-games) of the last few years.
  • games with too small text / HUD elements in the user interface
  • story-heavy games with too small text in the subtitles

STEAM Deck looks so addicting but would probably never get any work done if I brought one with me to work. I got in trouble for watching youtube videos at work by some bad boss. So having a steam deck I probably would get in trouble for palying too much halo.
