Pretty glad I skipped the current gen consoles - my last one was an Xbox one S. Still have it around to play DVDs and blu ray lol. Steam deck has been the best gaming purchase and I don't see myself going back.

It's like Christmas at Jackie Chan's house!

I think the most fun I've ever had with Gex is watching Dunkey's videos making fun of it lol

It's a fun game with some nice visuals but for whatever reason I lose interest fairly quickly. Like it's a nice little Saturday afternoon game - I'll have some fun with it and then move on to the next thing. Worth the $5 or so it goes on sale for quite frequently

Nice I didn't even realize it was on sale, I played it on Game Pass a couple years ago. $4 is a great price for the game as it's pretty short but a fun experience nonetheless. It has a cool soundtrack too

Donut county is a short but sweet game that is both relaxing and funny. My nephew got a kick out of Untitled Goose Game too.

Baldur's gate 3 for me, easiest difficulty so I can play out the power fantasy and enjoy the story

I mean I suck at the game and play on the lowest difficulty, I just think the story is awesome. I'm the wrong person to ask lol

I just bought Balatro on Fanatical which came with a free game voucher so I picked up Grip: Combat Racing asking with it. Both really fun games.

Tempted to get FF7 remake but I need to put in more time with a Baldur's gate 3 before buying another big game

Yup you nailed it, think classic top down Zelda but with more fast paced bump combat/hack n slash combat depending on which game you're playing, and less puzzles. Don't be ashamed to use a walkthrough for Ys 1 and 2 as they are originally made in the late 80s/early 90s and have some obscure elements to them (find a boss before getting x item and you will get one shotted/ won't be able to damage him, etc)

Check out the Ys series on PSP and Vita, they are some of the best games I've played through on my Vita. Digitalemelas.com has a lot of really good info on it.

Also obligatory Persona 4 Golden

If durability is a concern with the switch I'd definitely recommend you play docked with a pro controller or 8bitdo controller as your joycons will start to drift - happened to me about 1.5 to 2 years into owning mine.

I haven't owned a PlayStation since PS3 but it sounds like PS5 is a solid choice for you

I had buyers regret right after I clicked purchase because I was on the wait-list for a year and then I got the email saying I had 3 days to purchase or I lose my spot in line, so naturally my FOMO kicked in. Well played, valve.

I love the damn thing though. I don't play it every day but when I fire it up I'm in awe of what it can play. Such a fun tinkering machine too. Most recently I've been replaying MGS V and Freedom Planet 2.
