The PlayDate is actually pretty terrible. I got one as a gift so I didn't even have to pay the absurd price for it. The game selection is very poor and the crank gimmick is lame. In general there is no reason for me to mess with it and it sits in a drawer. That's pretty bad considering I have other handheld consoles I happily pull out and play regularly, some decades older but with a lot more interesting games!

The playdate is very well made actually. It's just also (intentionally) very niche, so it's no surprise it doesn't click for everyone.
Have you played any of the games for it?
Yes. In case it's not obvious from my previous comment, I own a playdate.
