That's because it isn't. You may get a few more FPS out of it than the Steam Deck in some games but overall it's a much worse experience.
User experience is more than raw performance numbers. In my personal opinion, the Steam Deck is still easier and more enjoyable to use.
In what games do you get 120 FPS?
I stay under 60 fps the vast majority of the time and while the games i play are fairly demanding I personally think going over 60 or even 40 is a waste. I would rather increase the quality and/or reduce the power consumption.
Indies mostly. Hades 2 is a great example - plays and looks great.
I should probably get Hades 2 someday, I should just finish Hades 1 first and probably wait for release.
What FPS and battery life are you getting on Hades 2?
I really want an OLED deck but I can't really justify the additional cost. The bigger battery and slightly improved efficiency seems like the best part about the OLED edition.
Anyways I usually only play on the train and most often on the bus to work, so as long as I charge the Deck each day it usually holds up well both ways.
I play it almost exclusively docked with a controller because of wrist stuff tbh
Also yeah Hades 1 rules
It's worth it. I've bought two of them. Use almost daily. For me it's the coolest piece of tech I own, and I do have a very powerful gaming PC..
