Is the Xbox Series S worth it?

Hi folks.

Long time Xbox player here, and I’ve had the Series X for 2 years now and I’ve been very pleased with it. However, my partner has recently taken up gaming by using my Xbox One X, and while that’s great, and we’re content with her using it, there are games she’d like to play by herself and together that can only be played on the Series consoles. I’ve been throwing the idea of getting her a Series S for Christmas. I’d love to hear your experiences with the Series S, do you feel it’s worth the value, and does it run games pretty well?

All of the other reviews I’ve read and watched haven’t quite satisfied me enough to pull the trigger.
