Yes, The First Descendant runs on Steam Deck, but it's choppy without these graphics tweaks

The Steam Deck is already showing its age.

it already did at launch tbh, but I also think they never promised to have the newest games run silky smooth on it on the highest settings. Still a cool device though, can basically take most of my steam library on the go.

I would get it if I was an handheld gamer that still played old games. It's definitely better than the Switch.

Would you get it if it was a bit cheaper?

I personally also don't like handheld gaming that much, but being able to play the games you already owned on the go was the thing that convinced me to get it. I don't travel that much but when I do, I use it a decent amount although I don't think I can fully say that it was worth the price for me.
