Why would you review something in 2026 with a Vega GPU???? And compare it to a steam machine??? I mean for the same price you can get a mini pc with a 780m which is a bit more comparable/modern. That gpu was in a cpu like 8 years ago, and it wasn't even mid-range then.
I really enjoyed the game but I'm sad they kept the hideous art style. Backgrounds and environments are okay but all the character models look like a league of legends hero.
Man I completely expect AI to be helpful with the coding aspects of things BUT good lord people hire an artist, pay someone a tiny amount to do the voicing. Honestly the game looks pretty much completely vibe coded. This sucks i hate it
All ecological things aside. I don't totally get the hubub over things like this. I get it, we want to be hand crafted but it's free and ridiculously ridiculously niche. I think when it gets to something this obscure i'm whatever but I also kinda understand we're running down a dark road where nobody is going to know how to code without AI at some point.
@Bloodmetal Absolutely I think it blows most things out of the water for emulation. I just think it might be a different crowd also looking for a cheap pocketable device, when the steam deck is definitely not pocketable. This is without even what I said before that it's just unattainable. I got my preorder in 7 minutes after launch and I'm probably looking at later this month probably.
@Zuljaras I wouldn't say that's really a competitor. Also "a little more" is twice the money and probably over a year preorder wait. Not to mention it's comparatively enormous when next to eachother. an Odin lite/pro would be a much better and easier to get alternative.

Re: Half-Life Dreamcast Has Been Decompiled, Freeing Source Code And Adding Online Multiplayer
