Is the Steam Deck still worth it in 2025? I'd argue yes — but with caveats

        The controls for STS are very simple, you could get away with mapping keyboard keys to the controls or using the touchpad.
        If you wanted to get fancy you could even map the touchpad to the card selection area (for easy card peeking) and use the buttons for everything else.

            Ohhhh… yeah, fair enough.
            I’ve faced both of these, especially the playing cards by accident bit. Hope they fix it in STS2.

        Slay the spire works fine on your previous phone. You know, that 3x lighter machine with 2x the pixel count you already carry everywhere anyway.

            I’ve specified that because I’ve mainly played it on a 2013 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (yes, wit a stylus), a FullHD beast that Steam Deck can’t even dream of matching even a decade later.
