This is a very well designed device which now allows you to play games away from home and not connected to WiFi which it didn’t not before

I love the PlayStation portal because it allows me to play the game when I don’t feel like going in my gaming setup, say I’m laying in bed and comfortable or I’m waiting on the wife to get dressed I can still beat a few levels without having to stop what I’m doing.
The only thing I will say is there is a slight delay on some of those larger games such as Call of Duty Warzone or Marvel Rivals.

I wouldn't really recommend this remote player. From its announcement, it was promised to be a dedicated and more reliable remote player than the app or another form of remotely playing PS games, but it doesn't really deliver.
I have a decent network at home with really good down/up speeds (AT&T Fiber). My first issue was that the remote player did not want to connect to my PS5 console. I had to make modifications to the WiFi network. When it finally connected, all the games I tried appeared blurry even though my console and Remote Player were both in the same room right next to the modem.
To make the remote player work a little "better" would require me moving the console even closer to hardwire it to my modem. I would still be limited by the Remote Player's WiFi and any interference around my house, and I refuse to move my console from the room its currently in. There are many devices in my house that can cause interference (all the cell phones, other consoles, computers, TVs, sound systems, etc.) Finally, I decided it wasn't worth the trouble, and I returned the Remote Player.
Most people have told me they've had "okay" experiences with it or have had to move the console, buy a different router, etc. The reality of it is that this remote player should have WiFi 6 to be a more reliable Remote Player and most people don't have the home network to pair with that if it did have it.
Build-wise, it's good. I would've paid double its price for an actual dedicated mobile console from Sony. As it stands, I rather not have this remote player.

Only thing I hate about this is I can’t buy games from PlayStation and have them download it to this. I don’t have a console, but it feels like I have a console and I could play with my brothers online.

But if you’ve done your research you can come to understand the value it has and from its overall functionality. Unfortunately, this device is not for everyone. As for me i love it, and appreciate it, and have value in owning one. While i love traditional gaming on a console, I also love gaming on handhelds . This device gives me the best of both worlds. Ive had fun playing Ghost of Tsushima, Kingdom Hearts FM, God of War 3; from in bed at night, my kitchen, and boldly enough from my bathroom. Its network dependant, and ive had a few issues due to their being excessive rain in my area but nothing that impedes me from playing and enjoying my games. The lag from my experience has been minimal and while i wont say its been near perfect. My experience has been highly positive. This has been a great investment for me. I’d encourage others to give it a chance. Just by doing your research and understanding it, you know if its truely for you or not.
