Why I Regret Buying The Logitech G Cloud...

The Logitech G Cloud promises a seamless on the go gaming experience via cloud gaming. But does it live up to its own standards? I break it down in this review.

I can connect to my PS5, Xbox One Series X, Steam and GeForce Now apps and it plays them all with no problem. I've had mine since Dec.2022. Heck, I played Texas Chainsaw Massacre from the PS5 & Starfield from my Xbox Series X early today. I was outside at my Mom's waiting for her to get home (about 15 miles awat from my home). Can't understand the hate and misinformation about the G Cloud.

The G Cloud is not a travelling device unless you are OK just using it to watch videos, surf, or play classic emulations as the G cloud is capable of. I personally only use the Gcloud at home and use Gamepass, Geforcenow and Boosteroid. Ive been playing witcher with RTX on and its amazing and beats any pc handheld tbh just because its streaming graphics somewhere else and with good internet at home, you are pretty set. Now, if I do take it travelling, I use it to watch movies, and play NES, SNES, Gamecube, etc.. or even Android games and it does it pretty good. The bonus of the G cloud is the huge battery life of 12 hours give or take, and the screen aspect ratio is great for gaming, even classic emulations, better than steamdeck at 1080 p, and its competitor the Razr edge with the wide aspect ratio). PC tablets, dont last as long battery wise, cost more, and just buying a tablet and getting a controller like the backbone, you end up paying the same if not more than the g cloud. G cloud is just a much better alt than having to use your phone or some kind of controllerless android tablet; So do buy if you are like me. Otherwise, if you game all the time, traveland whant to still game out of the box without compromise and dependance on internet, etc, then a steamdeck or any pc tablet will be a better alt to this.

for local streaming, this device is hard to beat

As someone who has owned an Ally and a steam deck. I actually still look to getting this because even though I need an internet connection, it just feels easier. I don’t have to do constant updates, calibrate, etc. I can just pick a game and play. As long as I have a decent connection, I’ll be alright. I won’t be playing hardcore games that I normally run on my desktop. Might pick this up.

I see more this as an "in-home" console rather thana portable console, its good if you want to lay on bed, the sofa, or anywhere within your home and good wifi and play, for me, it covers the before sleep lay on bed playtime scenario...

Your video doesn't do the thumb nail or title any justice. You only seem upset because you couldn't play on your vacation to the DR.

[packandclap]

Don't have any issues with my gcloud, what the heck is y'all's problem? 😆

[markmma]

As someone who has tried multiple handheds this does whats its meant to do ... Its right at the correct price point

[avash]

Mvidia ge force now ultimate edition for 4k streaming recommends 45 MBps connection which is not a very huge requirement

[ruffinboijrp]

Good Handheld My Opinion I’m
Loving It.. I Can’t Wait To Get The PS Remote Play Handheld lol

[stijnvonck]

You can’t compare it to gaming on your phone because no 300 dollar phone does it that good. If you pay 800 to 1000 dollar for a phone, than yes, it will perform better, just like the Rog Ally is way more expensive than the G Cloud. Nothing in the price range of the G cloud offers the same gaming experience for what it is designed to be.

[OtomoTenzi]

It's a $300 BRICK, to put it honestly... 👎🗑
I really, seriously, absolutely, and positively DO NOT like the fact that the retro emulators are NOT even included or preloaded on this thing; and that you'll also need to buy them online AND pay a monthly pass/subscription fee just in order to play games that you already OWN... 🤨
I mean, if I already HAVE the consoles and games in my house; then WHY would or should I even need like a separate rip-off gaming device just in order to PLAY them? 🤔
Can't you see how that doesn't make ANY sense at all?
Just a SCAM and a SHAM, through and through! 😤

[UNSC-owbh]

My Switch Lite has garbage battery life compared to this thing and this has more functionality overall...I think the end user needs to ask what they will truly use it for...Thats the true value...These have HDMI out now too don't they? (Software update)

[kaletree]

This handheld runs really well just off the battery life and it looks better then the steam

[shynn-obislick]

I have a mobile wifi device. I think that might be something that would make a difference. But not everyone has one or wants to buy something like that specifically to make this device better. But i also think it will be great for general tablet use. It still has playstore games and apps. With that battery life im gonns use it for Pandora, kindle, comic/manga readers, videos, etc and save my phone's battery. 😅

[numberoneappgames]

Does the GCloud need constant internet to use the emulators?

[onmywayto]

If you hear from this guy, make sure you listen to other videos too before you make your judgment. Do yourself a favor and give yourself another perspective first. I've been on this machine way more than the Switch now, as long as I have Wifi I'm good. If not, I just use this as an emulator machine or Android game machine. You just can't lose. There's a lot of pros to this machine, but may need a little tinkering. The battery is so good. It does better at PlayStation than the Portal. You can even stream PC and Game Pass. This is along the lines of the Portal but does much more. Also, now it helps me more when determining getting a game on the Switch or getting on a PC. If I play with good Wifi anyway I'll get it on PC and then stream it. Better graphics, better frames too.

Quick question if I by this do I need to own an Xbox to play Xbox games or do I need to purchase an Xbox to play those games

[JayTheDodo]

This thing is just too expensive in my opinion. I just don't find it compelling when it costs more than a Switch OLED. If it was around the £150 mark, I think it would be a great option for a lot of people.

[jimmymac]

I think your review has a bit of an issue. You say, this isnt a competitor to the Ally or SteamDeck and a few seconds later say with the steamdeck a little more, this isnt the best choice. I think you nail the idea this is an android tablet with a controller attached. Its primary focus is cloud and remote streaming and it works well for what its advertised. For having a lower end more efficiency focused SOC, it handles mobile games and emulators better than expected. I do wiah they went with Android 12 for better compatibility and better optimization. All and all, I think if you have a good PC and/or console this device is great and offers alot more than say the playstation portal. I think if they had hit a $250, with a $200 sales price. This device would have been the best for remote/cloud gaming.
