I anti-second the controller - there’s no benefit to it, and as the other commenter said, you’re going to want to play with the d-pad anyway. Play with whatever you feel more comfortable with, there’s no difference between the two.

Over the year I’ve finished Outer Wilds, Hades, PikuNiku, the second Ori game, and have been slowly getting through Elden Ring. Next is probably Tunic, but idk if it’s worth my time after playing through the first 2 hours.

Nowadays I can’t use any other controller than the deck, so I sometimes link it with the pc just for that - I just can’t live without the gyro and the back buttons
