I recently purchased the ROG Ally (referred to as Ally below). My motivation for buying it was simple: early adoption. I wanted to see what the resulting product looks like when the PC platform’s massive game library merges with the portable “handheld” form factor. After using the ROG Ally for a week, I feel ready to organize and share my user experience.
Half a year ago, when I learned the exact launch date of the Switch 2, I gave my Switch OLED (which had been gathering dust for about two months) to a friend. My plan was to wait and see until the Switch 2’s pricing stabilized and market reviews became more reliable. Now that I’ve had the new Switch 2 for almost a week, bought several new games, and upgraded a few older ones, I think I can write a brief review from the perspective of an average player. If an upgrade or change is mentioned in this text without explicitly stating the comparison object, it is being compared to the Switch OLED in handheld mode.
