Basically the title. I'm having a hard time playing this on my phone because it gets so hot, but at the same time playing on my pc the controls feel to weird for me to get into the swing of things. Maybe I'd be better off playing on playatation? Idk give me your opinions, what's comfortable for you and why? I really like this game but I just can't seem to find the best way to play it

I'm playing on the PC with a controller.

I would love to play on the Steam Deck though but that's not officially supported on SteamOS. I tried installing Windows on it but my SD card was too small for Windows + Genshin Impact. I might try that in the future when I either upgrade my internal SSD for the Steam Deck or when I get a larger SD card just for Windows + Genshin.

How is the steam deck?! I've been holding off on buying one for a long time. Is it better than playing in pc? Also what's the performance like?

I think you can't generally say if it's better than a PC since it very much depends on your use case (How much do you travel? How much time do you have to sit down in front of a desktop PC? Do you need to be able to quickly interrupt your gameplay?). The performance is pretty surprising at times. For example I can play Diablo 4 at medium settings with FSR Performance at almost 60 FPS. Genshin Impact can be played on medium settings with 60 FPS (from what I have seen in videos). Most Indie games run at 60 FPS no problem. I don't play much on the Steam Deck since I have a pretty powerful PC and have plenty of time to sit in front of it and don't travel much. I mainly bought it to support Valve in their endeavour to support Linux gaming and in case I have to rarely travel somewhere or when I want to play in my garden.

See my problem is I don't really have a lot of time to sit down and play, I really wish they would release on the switch. It's like the perfect size and the portability is really handy. Idk I'll probably go break out the PC and try to make some time.
