PRAGMATA is easily one of my favorite games this year, and possibly one of my favorites that I’ve ever played. Part of what makes it so enjoyable is that it’s very playable on the Steam Deck. It’s a blast to take it wherever I go, and it’s completely playable all the way through this way. Luckily, for us, this isn’t the only way to play portably, since the game is also releasing on the Switch 2. So, I decided to play for myself and compare the two to see which is gonna be the best portable experience.
The comparisons are done with the Steam Deck’s default settings and primarily comparing Switch 2 handheld mode vs the Deck’s default, unless specified otherwise. We use an OLED Steam Deck for testing.
