It's great for playing slower paced games, not so great for shooters etc, anything that really relies on the fast accuracy of a mouse (at least in handheld which is all I use mine for). A good way to start working through the backlog of cozy indie freebies we've all been pointlessly gathering from Epic.
Big downside for me is the size and weight, I'm a woman with stereotypically slender hands and this thing was definitely designed for someone with a slightly longer reach.
For shooters it definitely depends on the game and your preferred play style. Case in point, Halo (both MCC and Infinite) plays well for me since I’ve been playing since OG Xbox days; the Deck makes for a really good handheld experience.
That's fair, I don't play a whole lot of them so some probably work better than others. But I'm also shite at them and need all the help I can get, which usually means a mouse 😄
