Favorite Console To Play On? - DrewClue - 09-28-2025
I realize that a lot (if not most) adventure games play best on PC, but what is everyone's preferred platform? I love my Switch's dual docked/mobile capabilities, but I think most of my favorite things are all on PS4. I also just had to get a specific Ikea stand to fit my PS5 so I'm not loving on that lately, hence going back a generation.

The SNES is my favourite console, but i'm more a Sony fanboy (although I have had all the major consoles.
So PS5 currently. (My Series X is used for Game pass)

I play only on PC. In the past I tried PS (because of Beyond and Heavy Rain), but this machines simply didnt appealed to me. I also dont like playing via controller...

For Adventure games, 99.9% of the time I recommend mouse/keyboard, but there are a few that I simply don't have the mouse/keyboard coordination for. Spirit of the North is a great adventure game but if you asked me to play it without a controller, I might cry.
Also absolutely cannot play Assassin's Creed without controller, no way.
Heavy Rain seemed to be more made for mouse/keyboard imo, I first started trying to play it with controller but controls were not intuitive, felt like it'd been mapped on after they realized they needed a console release

Probably counts as PC, but found myself using my steam deck a lot of adventure games on the go.

I play most games on a Steam Deck too these days, although usually still in the house and away from my desk rather than on the go.
Playing adventure games on a handheld is actually quite comfortable, it makes playing them almost seem more like reading a book.
For adventure games that expect a mouse using one of the trackpads works great, although perhaps that's because I've used trackballs with computers for years so I find the simulated trackball inertia behaviour it emulates natural to use to me, with the occasional need to adjust sensitivity settings per game. For adventure games that use a controller, or other types of games, the built in controller obviously just works there.

I'm 99% a PC gamer, although I've had excursions into a few consoles (Xbox 360, GameCube, PS2) in the past, and do still play them since I enjoy retro gaming more than modern. I connect the PC up to a TV when I want big screen play.
Most recently I found that playing ScummVM games on my large Samsung Galaxy tablet is a fantastic experience.
