Every game I tested was being played off of the micro SD card

I like how valve packages stuff, I like the portal references

So happy for you! I get mine delivered this coming Wednesday - not sure I'll be able to sleep until then; feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!!

I’m about to get my own unboxing experience later this week, for now living vicariously through your video. Thanks!

By far and away the best gaming device I have ever purchased. I really hope this becomes the new norm for gaming

I've been watching a LOT of reviews on this system and I think yours is the most complete with kind of information I wanted to know.

Amazing review! The only one I watched and it ended up to be the only one I needed to fully understand what is this system about. Thank you!

I love my steam deck. I pair it via my Google TV to steam link and play on the big screen as well. It basically turns your steam deck into a controller. It's amazing.

So far best reviev i'v seen about Steam Deck, thx man, good job done. Dream of buying one for myself. Considering option of 256gb. It's litteraly one of my dreams

Happy you got yours brother! Just received my email this morning! Also went with the 64gb version because I plan to add my own SSD sometime in the near future.. I think the version we chose was the smart decision, without a doubt. Take care and enjoy your deck!

I feel like i was geeking out with you! Haha. My 64gb comes tomorrow and im super excited, i live in a country where they aren't officially sold, so it was a while before i was able to get a steam deck at a decent price. Love your passion and enthusiasm. Gl hf dude!

pretty good packaging, although nothing will ever beat the jawdropping experience that is unboxing the valve index

Incredible unboxing and review. Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these

Seen about 100 videos before watching yours and loved it the most !

Here's a tip, press the side of the grip buttons closest to the centre of the device, much easier than pressing into the grips

Cool to see reviews from later away from the initial people, since a bunch of updates happened.

Dude, your review is amazing, everything I needed to know. I just ordered the same one. I sub and liked

Thank You for this video, you answered to all my questions!

Great video! Super comprehensive, makes me really excited for mine to come in.

I love these reviews. I would love more camping equipment reviews. Have a great day 😀

The rubber belt on the back of the case is to keep it on the suitcase-trolley handle when traveling, but the idea with the power brick is nice too. 😄

Thanks, I'm waiting for my deck to arrive and your video makes it even more exciting :D

My Deck is coming in in a few days and I gotta say, this is the review that gets me the most excited. Your breakdown was fantastic. Good stuff man!

bro the video was great unlike other big creators who go too deep into the tech stuff, your was fun and easy to understand

Great video thanks. I’ve bought mine and absolutely can’t wait until it arrives

I feel like this would be absolutely perfect for playing indie games on the go. There are tons of really great indie games on Steam that should run flawlessly on a device like this. Now we can finally play them on a hand held, wherever we want.

Watching this review on my SD (: Outstanding!

Great video! Many videos in KZfaq doesn´t show the performance or the 64GB version of the Steam Deck, and you solve most of my concerns about getting the cheaper option of the device. Thanks! Just suscribed to your channel.

I'm getting this in a couple weeks for my birthday. Haven't been this excited for a birthday in many years!

Great Video just ordered the same with 1tb sd card your vid running games off the SD sold it for me mine coming Friday ☺️ I ran a game store in the late 90s my own , I'm so freaking excited about this just as much as you were I'm sure !!! Great great video Subscribed !!! TY

Superb video, with all the info, just ordered mine last night, can't wait to experience this system 🙂

Im totally going to order one of these things. First order of business is to play through portal 1 and 2 again. Those games were so damn awesome.

Great vid. Thanks. Explained everything perfectly

Wow! Even the 64 has a carrying case?!?!? You may have just saved me some money. This system is on my radar.

Nice review - looks really decent. I think I'll have to grab one for when I'm out and about 👍

Great unboxing video. And I like your vibe. thanks!

1:30 thank god someone else notices the little details! I've been watching unboxings on and off the whole year and boy oh boy do people just skim through and never mention it .. I love portal

Dude you have a sick channel! Subscribed

First time stumbling on your channel, first video watched and I just loved it! Here, take my sub.

One of the best info mercials ive ever seen. very goood. My steam deck is on the way.!!!

man i love this beast handheld! One of my dream gadget to play my fav games 🥰 I wish i could afford this 😔

i just ordered mine today. i cant wait to get my hands on it

The back paddles should be push down not toward the grips, it's easier to press that way and I recommend an A2 SD card A1 can be problematic and loading times are bad on it, other than that this review was great, I've had my 256gb model for a month now and I'm obsessed

This is a gorgeous unboxing.

Quick tip for games like killing floor, if you have a game that needs the mouse to control menu's you can either hold the steam button and use the right trackpad to use it as a mouse quickly. Or you can remap the right trackpad to function as a mouse then set the "press" to left click. (This option is better if you don't plan on using the trackpad ingame)

Great all-around review.

I was anxious because I only got 64GB for my boyfriend's birthday and was afraid I missed out on the features. Thank you for this video! I feel more confident giving my gift now

Can't wait to get mine in spetmber love your channel keep up the good work

I just got the email yesterday my 512gb steam deck just shipped and will be here on Friday the 9th I’m so excited thanks for the review great video 🙌🏼

Great video, I love your attitude. Keep it up bro!

Despite weighting more than a switch i found the steam deck to fit really good in my hands. i hope i can buy my own in the future .

I just got the 64gb version yesterday and Im enjoying so far. I got a 256gb memory card installed in it.

Nice. This is the only model I could possibly afford and I haven’t seen many videos about this one. I am starting to feel better about possibly getting one in the next year.

I'm getting the 64 version today You can always add SSD if you want later anyway, so beside the anti glare, the 64 is better option for me over the 512 version

It is tinker heaven, i always love portable system. This one take the cake. I order the 64gb with the dock.

you earned a sub and i might be getting one for my birthday

Really enjoyed this review and I think I want to take the plunge with it! I've recently been playing my Switch in handheld mode more and realized why not try my gaming PC in that mode too?! Thanks! :)

HAHAHA I LOST IT When you brought out the GBA-SP. nice vid I can’t wait for mine

6:00 I've always felt like that was underutilized button space on ANY controller. I was so happy to see Steam do it.

Explained well.Thanks

Thanks for this 🙂 I think I'm gonna buy a Steam Deck now.

i love how happy this dude is fr

Thank you most reviews ive saw didnt go this deep into how the device looked and was size stuff like that i loved my switch portability but hated the analog sticks and small selection of games i enjoyed

I get my steamdeck this Wednesday 🥳 very excited

I’ve bought and sold so many switches over the years. The switch is nice but Nintendo just doesn’t have a library of games I care about other than Zelda, smash bros, and maybe some mare titles. Other than that it starts to collect dust, and I don’t want to sink more money in any of those expensive titles they have, not to mention paying for playing online. Steam deck has a limitless number of games on the steam store, not to mention all the games you’ll be able to emulate on this thing. I think I’ve sold my very last switch in December, and I’ll be using my steam deck as my portable console when it arrives in about a week.

hi from the uk thanks for the walk thru

Best purchase ive ever did Its one hell of a machine Ive thrown every high demanding games As well as used the desktop mode like my pc to add mods and emulators Not only was able to handle all that, but its still working like day one after a month

Always do your own researcher about game compatibility there are so many games out there and every game will work differently - Game on!

i love your honesty

I have owned 3 psp over my life time and it is still one of my favorite consoles.

I've reserved steam deck and i am about to get the email to complete the purchase and it is going to be my first powerful system as I dont have a gaming pc. im so excited and this thing seems to cover any need, playing on the go and at home with the external monitor!

It's got noises now! lol love it

You have convinced me to place my order to buy a steam deck sir!

Loved that intro!

nice little video ^^ i to got my deck few days ago same module as you and mostly been playing with the desktop stuff but going to start playing games its a very neat system my only worry with the 64gig model is the shader and compdata as that gets stored onto the internal which after awhile will start eating up that space there is a work around by messing with the link and moving folders but can cause performance issues with games etc but yeah apparently just uninstalling a game will remove them files clearing up the internal and sd card so not that big of a problem only found that out till recently which is a relief so I'm excited to try actually playing games on it instead of being worried but eh ether way neat little video ^^

I'm so jealous! I really hope it release in SEA region soon. Im planning to travel around with it as I work.

That steam controller is so underrated. I was thinking of buying a used one soon :)

Just got my email confirmation today to purchase this bad boy! Cant wait!

This thing is sweet. I really want one now. I haven’t had a handheld since the Nintendo ds came out

I like this review a lot very entertaining

Thank you for this video. I've watched a fair few 'reviews' from big name outlets but yours was more in depth for real time use. Seeing the desktop mode in action was fascinating. I like the concept and IF I had the money I would buy one but one day I would love a version that can also play other PC games not just on steam. Escape from Tarkov is a game I would love to have access to but I'm strictly an Xbox user and have an older iMac. These handheld decks are the way forward for me! Thanks again.

im so hyped to get mine, its shipping soon

Hey, great video. I had the Steam Deck for some months now and i tried Alice Madness Returns too since i love the game. I had the same issue as you. Searched a bit and in the configuration menu of the game, you had the video setting "Post Process" to Off. Then try again. It wrorked for me. I think also the Dynamic Shadows later in game could help with some FPS or smoothness. Hope you figure it out and enjoy you Steam Deck :)

It's cool that you read "en la cocina" in the kitchen

This was the most, like... Calm, relaxed, detailed unboxing and review type video I've ever seen. Well done. New subscriber here, for sure. So with your games already owned on Steam for the PC, once you login you can just install from the library, right? No repurchasing?

I know what I want for Christmas :)

Just got mine, it's the best

I'm going to get mine soon hopefully

your unboxing is like a fangirl meeting her idol for the first time. :))

Yeh, SteamOS is basically Valved Arch with KDE. Not normally my cup of tea, but seems to work a treat on the SD, so I'm here for it. Especially with how easy they've made it to jump into KDE from Big Picture.

I'm waiting for my 64GB Steam Deck. My expected order availability:Q4 (October-December) 2022. In the meantime I ordered a 1TB microSD card and a 512GB SSD. I'm watching all the videos to learn what I can before it gets here. Edit: I got my email and paid for my Deck. Waiting for delivery.

Bro tip: vlc is pretty much default, but has some severe limitations when you start doing weird shit with playback (like frame by frame, etc.). Give mpv a go. It runs off keyboard shortcuts mostly, but once you learn the main ones it's downright awesome. , and . give you frame by frame, arrows left and right skip 5 or 10s, arrows up and down skip a minute, q to quit. The rest are in the man pages.

I was already sold on this system... you only confirmed it for me... I'm SO EXCITED and STUCK waiting for it... you know snail mail? Be hey? I'll be getting mine in two weeks at worst. Solid review showing the power of the base system... sure Deluxe won't have too many bells and whistles save for the actual internal storage for games. But SOLID lead off on just what even the BASIC system can do! But I do know given my own Steam library? Even half a terabyte of internal memory? He, he he... I'm only going to be able to fit in HALF of my fav library and thankfully a LOT my my fav games have a fairly small MEMORY profile but then games like Doom 2016 and Borderlands? Yeah, that internal memory is going to be eaten up quick.

not gonna lie the magic card next to it really helped with the size as i have a lot of them

I can just imagine me laying down at night at my grandma’s playing phasmaphobia and getting really cozy

For the Sd card error, all you have to do is format it again without taking it out of the steam deck, i had the same issue and i did that and it worked the second time

Great review bro

Received my available for purchase alert in steam while watching this video. Says shipping. :) I'm ready.

It reminds me of Sega's Game Gear, which is in color and really awesome!

Not a gaming/tech video fan, just dropped by to say hi and drop a comment.
