Played the first episode today. When the soundtrack kicks in and you start to move along with the music, S&S still feels like a magical experience after all these years.
How are the different control options on Switch?
The Switch version offers you three control options: buttons, touch and pointer controls.
Touch controls still work best for traversal imo, you zoom in and out with two finger pinch, double tap to have her move to a specific place or interact with the environments/people, tap and hold to have her move in the direction of your finger. You open and close the minimalist HUD via a tap on a small icon in the upper right corner.
The button controls work quite well. I imagine those controls are closer to the PC port. By default, you look around the screen with the left stick, move with the right stick, interact with A and initiate combat with B. During combat, you attack with A and block enemy attacks with B.
The game lets you switch some of the control settings. I switched the stick layout since I felt that moving with the left stick and looking around with the right one felt more natural to me.
I haven't tried pointer controls yet since I'm playing in handheld mode, I image they work best when playing on a TV.
The only difference I've spotted so far was this fun little dig at the monster that social media has turned into since 2011.
