Excellent idea. Dropped the ball hard on that title though. They almost had it right in the intro. Steam deck allows area man to neglect library on the go, or something like that.

I’d never really game while on the go, but I’d like the mobility to game around the house. In bed, the kitchen, living room. Not tethered to a desktop.

I love laying on the couch with mine, cat in lap.

Same experience with my switch and bed just yesterday.

I like taking breaks and walking around.

I also like turn based games because I can do that at any time without pausing.

I’m on the switch at the moment, but I’m playing disco elysium and after that I have divinity original sin2. Looking forward to both.

Exactly my thing. I have probably 4x the play time logged from taking breaks.

“Bah, I’m gonna go mow the lawn then kill this guy” “Ok he’s dead, I’m gonna run the dishwasher. Who’s next?”

Etc etc

A game I've been playing recently is Old World. It's by one of the main devs of Civ III and Civ IV. It's basically Civ but the tech tree is a little random, 1 unit per tile, you control a ruler and their family, and there's a lot of random story moments that'll shape the game as you play.
