Me and my friend got to the mines and i said “It’s just Gnomes, how bad can they be?”. Turns out my friend wasn’t exaggerating

Switch 1 would be my recommendation.

Gonna be honest and say that Barony is so damn hard that I use some of the “easy” modifiers (keep loot on death being primary), and we still get our asses absolutely destroyed.

It has taught me to loosen up about dying in roguelites, though.

I believe my friend has keep loot on too. He said he had some easier settings on but i wasn’t sure which ones. Absolutely see why though lol

ILoveUnions,

Let me offer a spin on this: the point-&-click adventure Technobabylon, which is more a staggeringly creative and massive series of escape rooms, and not that much of an open world to explore and revisit.

Perceptibly, it has zero grinding and is to the point with what you’ve gotta do. It is one of the only point-&-click adventure games that I’ve beaten; I normally dislike the genre, which speaks volumes to how incredible it is.

This is why I sometimes enjoy Ubisoft trash. Especially Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint. Just the same old shit on a massive map, an okay story, fun gameplay. Easy. Simple. Nice for mindless bullshit.

For an RPG, try Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning.

mic_check_one_two,

Yeah, Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry are great “no difficulty curve” games. Just the same shit on a massive map.

The portable part of the console doesn’t seem to matter to you.

So really I think the real question you have to ask yourself is: do you want nintendo games?

If yes, switch 2 seems like a good fit.

Otherwise, most other games are on everything now (PC, xbox and playstation)

Another console might fit your requirements.

If you are willing to disregard thenplug and play, you could also consider a PC with steam big picture: it’s pretty close to a console experience.

Get the OG switch.

Currently the switch two has exactly one game out for it. Mario Kart World.

Whose big feature is a single player open world.

I loved that game so much. Haven’t had quite an experience like it since

Honestly, you should get the OG Switch.

It does everything you’re looking for in the Switch 2, but without most of the downsides.

If you haven’t had one already, you have a lot of great games to catch up on, which you could buy with the money you’d save by not buying a Switch 2.

This is probably not to place to ask about getting a Nintendo console. Most people here are hardcore pc. (which is fine, but definitely biased).

My personal recommendation is this:

Do you want to play new Nintendo games? Get a switch 2.

Want to older Nintendo games and multiplats? Get a steamdeck.

Personally, I’m skipping the Switch 2 because I used my Switch 1 like four times since its launch.

The Switch 2 will likely have games similar to ones that came before it, so if you haven’t been tempted into trying those, you probably won’t be into the new ones.

Like, I’d want the Switch 2 for Mario Kart World but then realized that I played Kart 8 like twice. Online play didn’t scratch the itch, my wife sucked at it, and it was hard to get a group IRL together to play often.

Maybe try emulating some of the older versions of games you’re interested in. It’ll at least give you an idea of how much fun you’d have on the newer versions.

Also ask yourself if you’re a handheld gamer. I don’t think I am which is why I also don’t use my steam deck ever.

You want the Outer Wilds. NOT Outer Worlds. That’s Bethesda trash.

iAmTheTot,

Outer Worlds wasn’t made by Bethesda.

Nor is it trash. That game rules.

Ironically, I couldn’t get into Outer Wilds, myself; it sucks to get stuck.

there is no shame in asking for help; the OW community is extremely careful about spoilers so you would have gotten some very delicate pointers.

Nibodhika,

Both are good games, but they’re very different from each other. Also neither is made by Bethesda.

The screen thing is really overblown. Yes, there are technical analysis that point toward issues. However most people, including myself and several of my friends, don’t notice anything wrong in real life. Maybe if you’re an absolute snob about display tech you’ll notice something is off but that’s it.

If you are planning to play docked with family then the battery life isn’t really an issue.

If you are only going to use it for Switch 2 games then there’s no hurry to buy one now. There’s hardly any. But there’s a big catalog of fun Switch 1 games you can play on it that make it viable to buy now.

Bugsnax. Substantially better game than I anticipated.

chunkystyles,

I adored the details they gave the characters in that game. I accidentally

Tap for spoilergot the good ending just because I wanted to see the story of each character

It also had such nice and natural-feeling LGBTQ characters.
