    Just discovered this community of handheld gaming and I can’t believe it’s making such a comeback! Was obsessed with my PSP as a kid and miss that feeling I used to get playing it. Trying to figure out which device I should get by watching all these videos. Spider-Man remastered and God of War looks amazing here! I played every spider man game as a kid and will definitely be emulating them once I get a device. Dragonball Z Battle of Z seems to run so smoothly on the ps3 emulator here I love it

    This thing is awesome! My desktop cost me $500 to build and couldn't hold a candle to this thing. A handheld with this much power blows my mind! I was very surprised to see it run Elden Ring, Sekiro and God of War (2018) as well as it did. Honestly, my main focus for a system like this would be emulation and seeing it run games up to the PS3 and 360 like Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction and Red Dead Redemption so well for the price point really has me excited.

    It is really interesting to see how far the PC industry can get nowadays. Playing Stray and God of War on a small form factor is something to see. Also, seeing someone play Bleach: Soul Resurrección really put a smile on my face. I love seeing more people interact with Bleach and hope there is a new Bleach game on this current-gen or next-gen console, and don’t forget the PC port too (copium).

    The performance metrics seem solid, but honestly I think I’m most charmed by the aesthetics they managed to pull off with a Windows handheld. I feel like we usually just kinda give up on that element in the face of all the practical challenges squeezing a gaming capable PC into that shape brings with it. Impressive that they managed both.
    Most impressed by Spider-Man Remastered, God of War, and seeing Forza Horizon working in emulation. Shout outs to Nuts and Bolts too.

    For 500 bucks, this thing did a great job on the performance. Although you need to adjust the settings a lot but it’s worth the price and surprisingly run games way better than my current laptop, especially on games like spiderman and god of war. Plus the good performance on rpcs3 games like demon’s souls that can barely run on the steam deck makes it a quite emulation beast

    As someone who has grown up with gaming with mostly consoles, starting with the Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and GameCube, we have really come a long way. I’ve always been a fan of handheld/portable consoles like Game Boy and PSP but I always felt like there was limitations to what they can do. To see what a portable like the Loki 256 with the Ryzen 5 6600U processor can do for all types of games is impressive. Games like Borderlands 3, God of War, and even an emulation of Forza Horizon all look like a joy to play on this!

  • @thegreenchkrta2
    @thegreenchkrta2 Год назад +6

    It was really nice to see you playing a wide variety of games! I liked how Spider-Man Remastered ran, and God of War seemed to run well enough. In terms of Steam Deck performance it seems pretty close, but I wish it had some Linux flavor to it. This seems to be pretty sweet for PS3 emulation though, as Bleach: Soul Resurrection (Resurreccion?) ran very solidly, putting up great performance at lower TDPs! Thanks for the review.

Not to mention, the performance of Batman Arkham Knight was pretty good given all the environmental effects. Yoshi's Wooly World was not a game I usually see in emulation testing, but it was fun to see it. Great Video!

    Excellent video, I liked the TDP comparisons and that at 10W it competes or beats bigger CPUs. Good configuration examples too. A pity only the Price, it still doesn't seem to be a competitor with the Steam Deck in cost benefit, it would be so nice to see a laptop in the range of 300-400 dollars that passes the Steam Deck, who knows in 1-3 years.

Additionally, I'm impressed with Mario Kart 8 on this handheld device.

    These handheld gaming devices are getting better with every launch.
    The 40 Hz option is a good addition to get better battery life.
    Tomb Raider has been one of my favourite series and this plays it just great.
    God of War requires a little high tdp to run which I am sure will have a hit on battery.
    But what interests me the most is emulation performance and the 6600U delivers on that.
    The fact that it can emulate Red Dead Redemption at solid 30 fps is a hugh win in by book.
    Overall the Loki 256 looks like a really balanced handheld for the price.

    Being in uni I’ve fallen in love with the idea of portability, moving back and forth from dorm to home has been quite the hassle, and keeping up with gaming has been difficult bc of it. Due to that my interest in handheld gaming has peaked quite a bit being a primarily pc gamer. Seeing games such as spider man running as well as it does is just a testament to the power we have access to as a community now. Even games like red dead redemption 2. Emulation is another factor that’s just so enticing about these products. Seeing games such as ratchet and clank tools of destruction is a call back to games long forgotten. It’s good to see them be given new life and in a portable form factor on top of that.

    I stumbled on your content looking for handhelds and honestly the content and the depth you put into your videos is more than I ask for.
    I personnally love that you included Elden Ring in your testing for this handheld becuase that is the primary game that I want to play on the handheld that I get. I feel like not many reviewers throw this game into their testing. The testing of God of War was also pretty solid since I have been meaning to play that game off of recommendations.
    Additionally I like that you encluded emulation since that is secondarily what myself and a lot of people are most likely to do with devices of this calibur. I am a bit impressed you chose Mario Kart 8 considering how everyone knows what Nintendo does to some channels, but am glad that you don't cower away from them.

    Very cool video as always Taki. These handhelds are getting insane with AMD’s push into low TDP chips in the last few years. The fact that they can run games like Borderlands 3, God Of War, BOTW, Yoshi’s Island, Mario Kart, and give us decent framerates is just an entirely brand new form of computing that I wish we had growing up. I always wanted a Game Gear when I was a kid, but we couldn’t afford that. Fortunately my neighbour had one and would let me play it sometimes, but it’s nothing compared to these new AMD Graphics powered handhelds! I’m a new father myself, and my boy is 4 years old, so he’s getting old enough to finally play with his dad. I would love the chance to experience it with him, and hopefully spark a passion in him. He already loves the RGB lights in my PC when I play, and will sit on my lap while I play games. It’s hard to manage at a desk though, so a handheld would be amazing. Thanks for all the videos you’ve been making on these. By the way, I’m so excited to see what the Steam Deck 2 brings to the table. The future is looking very bright! Cheers Bro!

I thought it was the craziest thing to have a pc game on the go, mind you it was a port that was not nearly as good as the real thing, but playing it on the plane was insane. Now that we have REAL portable gaming pc’s and that they fit in the palm of your hand is honestly mind boggling to me and I’m super excited to be a part of the wave, that is handheld pc gaming. And I would love to play borderlands 3 as a follow up to the experience of playing 2 on the vita. Would also try Batman: Arkham knight and ratchet and clank future: tools of destruction, as they have been in my backlog/“want to play” list for some time now. Great video btw

Its incredible how good this thing is for the price in my opinion, especially at lower tdps it produces some really impressive results comparable to other, more expensive handhelds. This matters a lot considering the limited battery life. I do love how you included the more demanding systems in emulation showcase, seeing ps3 as well as x360 on a handheld seems really unreal, especially Red Dead Redemption which a few years back was really hard to run on Xenia.

    A combination of actual portability and compact is what the Loki provides that the SD and Ally doesn't
    it looks so cute and can definitely be stash on your pocket easily for some quick commute gaming

    I know there are another handheld pc devices, but it still amaze me whenever I see games like Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War on a handheld, I mean even seeing Wii U being handled so well and seeing Red Dead Redemption is impressive on its own. Good work ive beeing following the channel for a little bit and I like your videos a lot, so thanks for all your efforts!

    I've always wanted to try one of these. As I travel a lot and I frequently watch these review videos. That cover almost all of the Handheld pc's that have come out over the past year. And this one seems to be pretty much at my alley along with the steam deck

    Even though I just built an overkill desktop build, having handheld PCs just as capable of playing almost every game in existence is really handy when you're out and about. Although I won't be using mine for the latest titles, old games such as Borderlands 3, Batman: Arkham Knight and even classic emulated titles like Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction will definitely be on the front of the backlog. Great work and review Taki!

    It's great to see that my favorite games like elden ring, Red dead redemption 2, and Spiderman are able to be played on the go with very minimal issues. Being able to emulate the switch and xbox 360 is great giving me a reason to play Red dead redemption 1 and links awakening again!

  • @uwuuwu2114
    @uwuuwu2114 Год назад

    I would love to have one of these!
    The fact that you can play games like Batman Arkham Knight and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is amazing.
    Not to mention the fact that it can also emulate Demon's Souls!

  • @solidussnake1906
    @solidussnake1906 Год назад

    Super impressive for a smaller device, haven't personally played Horizon Zero Dawn or Red Dead Redemption 2 but being able to take it on the go would likely change that.
    That coupled with the fact that Breath of the Wild looked and played fantastically?!
    Just noticed that I wasn't actually subscribed, but have been watching for years. Always nice to see your side of things, seem more down to earth than some other personalities on here.

    I'm a huge PlayStation fan, so seeing Spider-Man, God of War and Demon's Souls running on this thing is pretty damn cool. I can't imagine how smooth indies would be on this!

  • @1s2p3o

    Great review! Amazing to see how well this runs Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, and Mario Kart 8

  • @JBG159

    Can't believe how a handheld can run these games like Spider-man Remastered and God of War which I played on PS4 few years ago. Not to mention, I still remember the first time I played Red Dead Redemption on PS3.

    It's fascinating to see how the AYN LOKI 256 console compares to other handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck and Aya Neo lineup. While Aya Neo's offerings boast impressive hardware specifications, it's worth noting that the AYN LOKI 256 is specifically designed as an emulation device. From what I've seen, it excels at running PC games like Spiderman Remastered and God of War, delivering smooth gameplay and stunning graphics. Additionally, the fact that it can run Mario Kart 8 flawlessly on the CEMU emulator is quite impressive. It's great to see a device that can offer both the joys of PC gaming and the fun of getting to play any game you want on emulators.

  • @P47R4
    @P47R4 Год назад

    This thing is the perfect form factor to play Red Dead Redemption 2, Spiderman Remastered, Stray... It's also impressive to be able to emulate games like Yoshi's woolly world!
    Thanks for the vid and thorough testing!

    The Loki looks really cool, specifically liked how it ran Spider-Man Remastered, Red Dead Redemption 2 and the OG Demon's Souls! Love seeing handhelds like this, kudos Taki

    It is amazing how this Handheld pc can run game like Horizon Zero Dawn or God of War ore emulated games like Mario Kart 8. Nice review and setting explanation keep pushing the good videos.

  • @allanon155

    I remember playing Horizon: Zero Dawn the day it came out on PS4 and it blew my mind. It's crazy to see it running on a handheld! Likewise for God of War 2018. It's absolutely insane the progress the handheld market has gone through. Being able to play a host of emulated games like Dragonball Z: Battle of Z on the go would be great! Awesome video!

  • @honshu7390
    @honshu7390 Год назад

    Very impressive for the price. Obviously being in CAD for me it does bump up a bit but excellent for the amount of game play and portability. It ran Horizon zero dawn and God of War very well, and emulated Mario Kart 8 smoothly which is very key. Thanks for all you do Taki one of my favourite creators.

    The Loki Max Sure looks like a dream machine especially here in the Philippines. Playing my steam games like Spider-man Remastered and God of War while waiting for the bus makes me excited for the future of handhelds like this. It also seems like one of the best choices currently for high end emulation for consoles like the WiiU for Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Overall, a very solid handheld.

  • @hahadasitmane

    The aesthetics on this thing is a huge deal to me. Looks so dang clean. Agree with the point about not wanting to use FSR as it makes motion super blurry. This handheld has great performance in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, surprising performance in God of War and glad it can emulate PS3 games like Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.

  • @aurora_borealis9
    @aurora_borealis9 Год назад +1

    Wow, this handheld looks amazing. It runs Horizon Zero Dawn incredibly and Red Dead Redemption 2 looks surprisingly good, despite having to change the settings somewhat. It was also nice to see Mario Kart 8 deluxe on the list, looks almost identical to the Switch.

  • @JeremyTraister-o9b
    @JeremyTraister-o9b Год назад

    Horizon Zero Dawn - before, Batman Arkham Knight - after, Maria Kart 8 in emulation section.

    Crazy to finally see this functioning. I’ve yet to play Horizon Zero Dawn or God of War but I’d love to play them for the first time on the go! Also insane to see 360 emulation - I’m new to a PC handheld so playing RDR handheld would be rad. Thanks Taki!

  • @Dortos907

    I was going over which handheld item to save money for my lil brothers 13th birthday and your video popped up among others, I enjoyed your review stats on this device. When you locked the system at 40hz Spider-Man Remastered looked AMAZING. Red Dead Redemption 2 also looked insane I was very surprised this handheld can perform amazingly well. On the other hand the other emulation games ran well but Rachet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction had some major fps drops during a fast moving environment not a game I expected to run poorly. Great video also a new subscriber, looking forward to your other tech reviews!

  • @blazeradio7024
    @blazeradio7024 Год назад

    Its so cool seeing relatively new, genuinely demanding games like elden ring and red dead redemption 2 running on a legitimately reasonably priced handheld. Plus, it being a windows device makes it super simple to run emulators. I seriously would've done anything as a kid to take demon's souls on a road trip with me. Its like seeing the future of gaming I wanted as a kid.

    It"s insane to see how much the Loki devices have grown over time. I honestly never even knew they existed till a friend shared this with me. We were keeping up with the Steamdeck and Ayaneo for a while. Back to this device though. It really seems quite solid (the built in rgb sells it for me) and performance wise this video gave me all the info I needed. The Performance on Elden Ring stands out because of how recent the game is and the performance on the 2018 God Of War is comforting as Playstation studios tend to release more CPU and GPU heavy games on PC. The emulation took the cake for me because I had spent quite abit of time emulating when I was younger. Surprising to see Wii U games being emulated so perfectly but even more surprising was has smoothly Super Mario Odyssey seems to run. All in all I'd say its a device worth owning.
