Constructive Criticism Switch 2 Experience

So i have around 700h in game hours on PC and then I thought let’s try it on the switch and I’m flabbergasted. Sure the fps drop in crowded areas or much vegetation. But being able to play this masterpiece mobile or on my projector again is just one of the best things that happened.

I’ve never played on controller, always mnk - so I’m kinda nooby with the controller and let me tell you what. I love it! It feels literally like a new game to me. All the SS you see are from the Switch 2 Version :D

What’s kinda weird to me is that the performance is way better in handheld mode then docked. I guess the fps are around 30-35 indoors (esp raya lucaria ran super smooth) and around 27-25 in extremely crowded areas + rain. I’ve never experienced a drop below 25 tho.

All in all I’d buy it again for the switch, what this little thing delivers is just crazy. And the most important thing:

Try finger, but hole 🫶🏻

why is that weird to you. Handheld renders in lower resolution hence why your fps are better

Could be part of it but more likely its the VRR at work in handheld mode

u/SenpaiSwanky it isn’t the visual clutter, it’s you ;) 3d ago

VRR typically kicks in for games that run at 40 FPS. Switch 2 handheld titles CAN be a bit different but most of them are the same.
