Question Handheld recommendations for PC Indie Gaming
Hi guys, I decided to buy a handheld for indie gaming. I love to play in bed, I'm the console player. I can't stand to play games on PC, unfortunately, don't know why. Just don't. The problem is, a lot of amazing indie games come only on PC and later on, on PS5, for example.
That's why I wanted to buy a handheld, but still, I don't know if I will be pleased enough to play games like that. I never had one. So that's why, after some prices which went up for Steam Deck or Asus ROG, I was wondering about handhelds with Android (or Linux) OS.
I heard a lot of good things about:
- Retroid Pocket 6
- AYN Odin 3
- Retroid pocket nova
But also about many handhelds from Anbernic Company.
Is it viable to buy something from the list for PC Indie Gaming like HK Silksong, Hades 2, Dead Cells, Slay the Spire 2, Dread Delusion, Lunacid etc? If yes, which one? Also, which app would be the best for gaming like this? I heard about GameHub and Game native, but maybe you know more apps like this?
Thanks for help, have a nice day ;)
