I know the Legion Go 2 and other Legion devices are upgrades from the Steam Deck OLED, but is the upgrade actually worth it for basically double the price?
I love handheld gaming! I typically reserve League of Legends and other highly competitive titles for my high-powered PC, but for everything else—from AAA games like Elden Ring and Warframe to Overwatch and indie titles—I prefer using a handheld. I also enjoy playing games like Genshin Impact.
One of my main questions is: can you customize the controls as extensively as you can on the Steam Deck OLED? The reason I love my Steam Deck is that it’s an all-around amazing device; I’ve never had a single issue with it. I often think to myself that if I never upgraded, I’d be perfectly happy, because handheld gaming is already in such an impressive place.
I absolutely adore my Steam Deck OLED—it’s one of my favorite products ever created, even outside of the gaming industry. The ergonomics are a highlight for me; it’s extremely comfortable, and I worry that the Legion Go 2 or other Legion devices won't feel as good in the hand. I’ve read that the Legion Go 2 is quite heavy, perhaps even too heavy to hold for long periods.
Are there any other points I’m missing? I don’t mind spending the money, but is it truly worth the splurge when I’ve never had a single issue playing the games I want on my Steam Deck?
