Naturally, given the nature of the operating system, not every PC game will run on this device or rather, not run smoothly. That's because most games are programmed for Windows, and so SteamOS uses various routines to emulate or translate instructions. When everything is all working as intended, it's silky smooth.

If you're wondering what games work best, then just check out Valve's list of Steam Deck-verified games. If it's rubber-stamped for that device, it should be good to go on the Legion Go S SteamOS edition.

The battery life is only good for a few hours of gaming, too, and while I'm being picky, the trackpad doesn't work properly in SteamOS (though that might improve in time, with driver updates), and the fans are noisy under load.

But these are minor quibbles compared to the sheer brilliance of everything else. The Legion Go S SteamOS edition is exactly what a handheld gaming PC should be—fast, smooth, and great to use. It'll take something special to knock it off our top slot in the list of best gaming handhelds, that's for sure.
