I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

Going to have to check my wishlist and see... So tempted to get a Steam Deck rather than a Switch. Might have to actually pull the trigger....

To add to the folks owning both a Switch and a Deck:

Keep in mind that the Steam Deck might be more "unstable" than a regular console like a Switch. Not just games or controller config tweaks, but also general system stability - I'm speaking of experience with the beta software of the Deck.

Despite that, if you're tech-savvy enough or are happy to stick with only Verfiied/Playable rated games without tinkering, the Steam Deck's highly recommendable. Even for party games, as you can just use any vendor's controller on the Deck basically. Don't need to get 4 of one vendor or the like.

I have both, got a Steam Deck a week ago. It’s a beast compared to Switch.

Feels like a much more quality device and with it being so open you can do anything you like on the software side, plus some of the HW seems much easier to replace / repair.

If I had to choose between a Steam Deck and Switch now, I’d go with Steam Deck without a second thought. You can even emulate all of Switch’s catalogue on the SD.

Yeah, I have both as well.

After the Steam Deck arrived I don't think I've even picked my switch up again.
