I've been playing a ton of Abiotic Factor as of late. It's an absolutely phenomenal video game, and even though it's still in Early Access, it is quickly approaching its 1.0 release and is still a fantastic experience regardless. I highly recommend it towards anyone who's a fan of survival games while also looking for a change of pace from other survival games.

Ninty has never released a game on anything but their own consoles they have full control over

It still barely competes with the steam deck, and definitely doesn't compete with the PS5 or Xbone in terms of power, and those two consoles have a few years on them now

(plus physical games)

Switch was $300, OLED was $350, I'd say $400 is fair. Even the $450 isn't too bad honestly, it's the games and the stupid "Switch 2 upgrade" nonsense that's the problem

Sony is pretty bad but they aren't that bad (yet)

also to this point, steam deck is good but its also older than the switch 2, and the LCD model is, well, an LCD screen with 60 hz. which is fine imo, but Switch 2 offers a different experience

It is. I'll be real, I can afford the switch 2 and the games for it and everything. But that's a lotta money to spend all at once, and that, on top of already not agreeing with how Nintendo runs business, are why, TO ME, it's not a worthy investment.

I know that it is expensive, but they've given us everything "we" wanted. 1080p 120 Hertz screen, 4K capabilities, could even hook up to a 1440p monitor too. Got a FromSoft Exclusive, which Nintendo has struggled with 3rd Party to various extents each console gen after SNES tbh. It can play Switch 1 games, at higher resolution and framerate. That, and it releases in June - people got seven months (from release, or nine months from announcement) to save up for Christmas.
