The portable part of the console doesn’t seem to matter to you.
So really I think the real question you have to ask yourself is: do you want nintendo games?
If yes, switch 2 seems like a good fit.
Otherwise, most other games are on everything now (PC, xbox and playstation)
Another console might fit your requirements.
If you are willing to disregard thenplug and play, you could also consider a PC with steam big picture: it’s pretty close to a console experience.
I’m not the person you answered to, but as english ain’t my first language I figured I’d ask:
I get that this person was trying to say “piqued” as in “got my interest”
But wouldn’t “peaked” as in “my interest couldn’t possibly get higher as it has peaked from that new information” also be valid?
(I get it’s a saying, but as I’m not familiar with that saying in english it didn’t bother me, which is why I’m curious)
Just this last month I played “Final Profit - A Shop RPG”: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/Final_Profit_A_Shop_RPG/
An RPG Maker game with no combat, quite a lot of story that’s honnestly not bad and more custom systems than I expected RPG Maker being able to handle.
My understanding is that it was made by a single guy, which for the size of the game is fairly impressive.
You play as the Queen of the Elves trying to fight the embodiment of capitalism by becoming the very best capitalist. I believe there’s some branching to the story, but I only did one playthrough, which took about 20 hours.
