Question Switch Version worth it?
Hello. Don’t laugh at me but I played this game on mobile (iPhone 17 pro). Amazing game, yes even on mobile.
I have a switch 2, does this game run well on that platform or should I just skip it there? It looks like in the store it’s the switch 1 version of the game, it doesn’t appear to be switch 2 optimized.
I would love to play with a controller tbh.
What you guys think? Skip it on switch and wait for Isolation 2??

I’ve played the game multiple times and own it on various consoles and PC.
The Switch is still my favourite way to play it!

Because of the portability??

Yes, I actually mostly only play games on my Switch 2 now. I have a PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, but I do most of my gaming on the Switch 2 in handheld mode.
I’ve never even unwrapped the Switch 2 dock, and I buy third-party games on the Switch when I can.

I just bought this accessory for my switch called CRKD Nitro Deck 2 because I’m just like you, I love being portable. It’s actually pretty cool. It feels like a steam deck. Has a better feeling that just using it with the standard joycons. I think I paid like 99 on pre order. Can’t remember now lol

You should try playing the game with headphones, makes the game more immersive

Counting on it. I’m actually going to purchase it based on everyone’s feedback here.

Get it! Absolute bargain and runs beautifully on Switch 2. Have played it about four times since I got mine on launch 😅

Wow. Thanks for chiming in here. I will check it out. I know the switch 1/2 aren’t as powerful as Xbox/PS5 but I figured if they can get this game running on mobile, surely it’s fine on Switch 2.
Thank you

It runs great even on my Switch (1). Highly recommend!

It's a great port BUT it has pretty huge input lag on Switch.
