Overview
Daniel tests Cyberpunk 2077 on a docked Switch 2 connected to an ultrawide monitor, questioning the console's value relative to a gaming laptop given visual distortion, black bars at 16:9, camera shakiness, motion blur, and sound detection issues through monitor speakers.
Daniel generally prefers a gaming laptop due to superior game selection via Steam, native ultrawide support, and controller flexibility, seeing the Switch 2 as justifiable primarily for comfortable handheld play and exclusive Nintendo titles like Mario Kart, Pokemon, or Zelda.
While playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Daniel observes smooth performance even without a 60 FPS upgrade, though reverting from ultrawide back to standard display format introduces black bars and changes character proportions.
