Man I just realize my comment sounds like an ad, oops. But I was so frustrated with the state of “mobile gaming” in the last decade where my options are “touchscreen, cellular brick”, “underpowered, colourful heavy brick” or “powerful, heavy monochrome brick” that “light, foldable, powerful, colourful brick” really seems refreshing to me 😭
Comment on The AYN Thor Lite Has Become Something Much Bigger Than AYN Built

I love my Thor! I’ve used it more than my Steam Deck over the past year because it’s more portable and I can play my Steam games on it. The DS really was my favourite form factor from all the gaming devices I own, anyone that’s the same should look into this.

Just got mine two days ago and I am currently more focused on DS games, but interested to know what Steam games you would recommend for it? I have a pc, but just trying to think what games would perfect for handheld.

Here is a link for you to EmuReady, a friend’s site where users upload their own experiences and settings for running games. I have already filtered it by AYN Thor Pro and only games which run Great and Above, on Windows, so have a look! You might get an idea of what is possible!
If you don’t have the Pro, then use the drop-down box to filter it to your Thor model :)

Never owned a console, but how strong is that Thor? There are games in the list which are really demanding. Do they then run in extreme potato mode with like 40fps or so?

If you followed the link above, that is for the Thor Pro, which runs them really quite well.

Plenty of YouTube demonstrations if youre curious. It has a strong chip, so it handles them well. Not quite Odin 3 levels (SD Elite), but, really well. PC emulation is a big thing for these handhelds.

Lots of indie games work well, especially if they’re pixel art or 2D.
Things like Hades 1/2, Dead Cells, Ball x Pitt.

Always love to see a Dead Cells shout out. Looking forward to the new Castlevania in the next couple months!

I’m more excited for new Bloodstained, supposedly this year.
