Never played the first Alan Wake but loved Control by the same studio so will be picking this up once I finish Spider-Man 2.

Christ, that's basically my PC. I've got the i7-10700KF and a 3070.
Good job most of the games I play are old and slightly crap. I was tempted to upgrade my GPU but I won't get any value out of it.
Set my sights on a Steam Deck now. Any one got one? You can get a refurbished 64gb (I'd fit an SSD myself) for £280. Out of stock at present, though.

My PC would still crush the Deck, rest assured.
I quite like the idea of playing The Long Dark in bed or on the sofa. That's the only thing I miss about console games.
Ive got a mate who loves his Switch, if I was ever gonna be handheld, that would probably be my route.

I've considered the Switch a few times, but by all accounts the Steam Deck blows it out of water on everything except the obvious Nintendo exclusives.
Also Nintendo's games are very expensive for such old games. PC games can cost a couple of quid.

If you don't insist on playing the latest and greatest, you make back much of what you put into a PC (relative to a console) on game pricing. The closed ecosystems of Sony and Microsoft are not consumer friendly. Having better input peripherals (keyboard/mouse or a Switch Pro controller) is also a massive plus.
YMMV on peripherals if you don't dislike the present PS/Xbox controllers as much as I do. My kid likes them both. I haven't liked an Xbox controller since 360.
It's a great console, both for the exclusive titles and the handheld property. I would wait a year and buy the Switch 2 if I didn't have one at present, though.
Yeah, nothing beats a PC for me, they just do everything.
Can see the attraction with handheld gaming, but with my eyesight these days, im looking bigger, not smaller.

It's great when you travel with kids. Solves all complaints about the car ride/plane flight.

I tried to play an FPS the other day, at the age of approaching 40 with wonky eyes I am absolutely washed. Young man's game, I will stick to the tab targeting genres.
Currently playing Cities Skylines 2.
Its a dumpster fire.
Performance is BAD, so, so many bugs.
Im enjoying it, but its yet another game that was released in a beta stage.

Hey, at least you were good once. I never was. DOOM-style shooters are fine. 'Click the mouse on the little ball on top of the stick figure', not so much.
