Lmao.
Subnautica is on sale on the Switch this week, and I’ve been meaning to play it for a while. But I’m not sure if I should just play it on PC instead.
If you prefer the form factor of the Switch, go for it. All else being equal, it’s definitely better on PC. (Less buggy, mod tools, better graphics, mouse control…)
I mean it’s a new “platform” but your library is available in any PC you can log into steam on, so if you get a PC down the road all your games are there lol
While it’s still expensive, you can get the base model Steam Deck for $400 and put in a $50 512GB SSD off of Amazon. The only reason to buy anything other than the $400 model is if money is no concern and you want the etched screen and a premium case. The SSD swap takes like 5 minutes.
I’d recommend the PC experience in general for any survival game, the speed and accuracy with which you can target the materials you’re collecting just can’t be matched with a controller. It’s honestly frustrating playing survival games on console after experiencing them on PC. That said, if it’s cheap enough I may pick it up for Switch, especially if it supports motion controls.
i’ve played on both: the draw distance is very low on switch. aiming is much smoother with a mouse, but piloting the subs are funner with controller imo (you can use both on pc)

All these people talking up either PC features or Switch formfactors, and no one’s bringing up Steam Deck…
Highly recommend getting one, then you don’t need to split your library.
Steam Deck is the best. The openness of PC gaming, the handheldness of the Switch.
This is by far my fave feature so far. There is no question, if it’s available on PC I get it on PC
Well I already have a Switch, and Steam Decks are expensive. So, should I spend $20 on a new game, or $600 on a new platform?
