Games the Steam Deck was never meant to play

I think of myself as somewhat of a collector. I’ve multiple shelves packed full of retail software. One of my favorite things to collect is big box PC games. The engaging artwork. The variation of size and shape. The gate fold covers. The thick manuals that deep dive into every mechanic. Retail PC games? I love them. And collecting physical media is my jam.

But I am also clearly a fan of the Steam Deck.

So what if I combined the two? That’s where this video comes in.

Please enjoy the next twelve minutes of your life as we deep dive into what I believe to be one of the best videos I’ve ever produced!
