If you could only re-experience from new one game (like total immersion, wide-eyed wonder-at-the-majesty-of-it-all re-experience) and had yet to pick a console (Xbox versus PlayStation), what game on which console and why? (and feel free to remark on ideal controllers, add-ons, etc.)

I was hoping Starfield might be that kind of galvanizing experience, but the reviews are pretty underwhelming. So now casting about for the real deal.

No man’s sky on pc

Not a console but that game still wows me

Was a tech weenie in yesteryear, but not willing to commit to the cash/time/optimization that pc’s require. So self-limited to consoles. Thanks tho!

Might as well score a Steam Deck for the cost of a modern console, and then you're not paying monthly for multiplayer and premium costs for games and you get mobility in the mix.

And it’s a fully fledged a portable computer that you can plug in a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and do anything you’d do on a normal desktop / laptop. Browsing, coding, image editing; the Deck is the best device I’ve bought in years!

See, this kind of intel is just part of the reason why I shop here! Steam rabbit hole here I come.

If you're on a budget, game pass and ps+ extra are probably the best ways to play lots of games with as little money as possible

That in VR was quite the experience.
