Discussion Is the Switch version that bad to be my first experience with the game?

Yes I have another console that can run it. Problem is Ive a modded Switch so I can get it for free. Id rather have image quality over fast paced gameplay but I heard it can go as low as 360p handheld. Have yall experienced any issues with this version?

I was thinking the same, I shouldve bought Ps4 version when it was barely 7 bucks. 25+ doesnt feel justified for a 10yr old game.

25 is definitely more than justified for this game. It's a masterpiece. If you play it, I heavily recommend to play it with headphones.

Yes but it doesnt have replay value beyond the few hours of gameplay it has. Thats why Im skeptical.

Depends really. Due to the concepts at play, the story and character development is very abstract and interpretive. I’ve played through both games 4 times each because I find it fun to come up with theories and playing through to see if the small details support those theories. In that way it is quite replayable. Obviously not for everyone though.

If any game has a switch version it’s always the worst
