All of this talk of mobile devices taking over the PC and console gaming space has made me add dedicated time back into my gaming rotation to play mobile games. I want first-hand experience of how far gaming has come in 13 years since I really stopped playing on mobile as a general going concern back in 2019. I’ve definitely still played. I’ve used the foldables in conjunction with an XBox or PlayStation controller to play Horizon Zero Chase Turbo on my foldables. I’ve actually put both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and 5 and the Google Pixel Fold through a significant number of paces as part of my evaluation of the new smartphone flagship. But I have not been given over to play on a tablet every day like I used to do starting ten years ago.
The Steam Deck is in the mix his week too, and I spent time the other day refreshing the OS and updates on the Steam Deck LCD and installing Deep Rock Galactic, which is my next target for handheld gaming. On my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, I’ve been getting started in War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
Last night was more time spent on Call of Duty: Mobile Warfare III on the main desktop (Ryzen 7 – 7800X3D + RTX 4080). It’s really nice playing first person shooters over there again now that I’ve gone back to the 27″ IPS 1440p 144MHz displays.
