That is exactly my experience!

I have been a competitive player for stuff like WoW and LoL for years, and very conservative in the types of games I play (always 1/2 max). Since I bought the deck I went deep into Hollow Knight rabbit hole and loved it, playing balatro and many other smaller indie games, chilling on the sofa and without the addicting factor of online PvP.

Perfect for those sorts of games. Previously the switch was my machine for those sorts of games, but waiting for a switch port ruled out or delayed a lot of games. So glad we have handheld PCs now.
