Big, triple threety games like Breath of the wild and monster hunter rise are difficult to play on a mobile. The controls were not designed with those sorts of games in mind - so it always feels like you're jamming them in. I also think we are in this kind of funky spot right now, where a lot of presumptions are being challenged of what is a mobile game. And how much does any of that matter?
Here's an episode for everyone, whether you fell in love with video games on the Game Boy or the Nintendo Switch. In honor of the Steamdeck launch this month, The Resties construct the *perfect* list of the best portable games of all time. To accomplish this worthy task, they first uncover the key components of any magnificent portable game. Discussed on this episode: Spelunky HD, Hades, Tetris, Mario Golf Advance, Fire Emblem Awakening, Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade, Into the Breach, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, Persona 4 Golden, and Gravity Rush.
