Our review for A.I.L.A. is coming in a little bit, but if you are looking to play on #SteamDeck, we can confirm that it's quite playable. However, we do recommend making some changes, since it defaults to the lowest settings, which completely changes the visuals.

We flew on over to Thailand yesterday and just picked up our AYN Odin 3! Expect some impressions in a few days and our review coming soon, and thank you to AYN for providing a review unit.

There were some new pictures uploaded of Anbernic's upcoming RG DS handheld comparing its size to the DSi XL, and the similarities are striking.

A huge thank you to AYN for sending over the new AYN Thor for us to review! Already loving the device, and can’t wait to explore the experience more.

And yes, it feels perfect for any dual screen emulation with those OLED screens.

Celebrating the end of our Tokyo Game Show with some giant bowls of ramen!

Expect our coverage to start coming over the next few days. We played some great games, and have much to talk about, including other handhelds and Requiem on Switch 2!

It took some time, but we were finally able to play a game on the ROG Xbox Ally X thanks to Starsand Island at TGS!

We didn’t have a chance to try it out outside of the game, but we do have some thoughts on how the handheld feels to hold and use.

Article coming soon!

Heading home from Gamescom! Another fantastic event. So many games we played and so much to talk about.

Look forward to our coverage coming out over the next few weeks.

Getting a quick download in on my #SteamDeck before hopping on my flight to Germany for Gamescom.

Looking forward to checking out some more awesome upcoming games.

Time to test!

It's just supposed to be the grid image from SteamDB T-T

Alright, show of hands. Who is playing Blue Prince on their #SteamDeck this weekend?
April 12, 2025 at 4:11 PM
I’m glad you found it!

Here is where the Add to Steam button is. Should be right under the EOS overlay option when hovering over the vertical 3 dots on the game details page.

While I had that thought too, I actually ended up feeling otherwise after looking at all the prototypes from Valve. They released this image with a digital booklet when bringing the Deck to Asia and it looks very much like this unit that has a box around it.

Our key came in a little late, but we are reviewing Split Fiction! We will have some initial thoughts on #SteamDeck performance as soon as it’s installed.

Thank you to EA for providing a review key.

If anyone wants to help test our #SteamDeck plugin before it heads into the stable Decky store, now's the chance!

Just switch the store to Testing, and if you find any issues, let us know and/or leave a testing report on GitHub:

It looks even better on our home page.

A huge thank you to AYANEO for sending over an AYANEO 3 for us to review.

The first thing we did was test Monster Hunter Wilds on it, and it is actually fantastic. Better than the ROG Ally X by a long shot. 30 FPS at 1080p will be possible.

Impressions coming tomorrow!

The demo for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is out now. Try it on your #SteamDeck and get a feel for how it performs! We can also confirm that we are reviewing the game and will assess performance throughout the full game!

Huge thank you to RGG Studio and SEGA for the opportunity.
