As a new father that only owns one console, the PS Portal has allowed me to squeeze in extra precious gaming time into my day.
I pull out my Portal when my wife is decompressing on our single 4K TV. Or when my son cuddles up next to me as he falls asleep in the evenings.
I love the ergonomics of the device, the haptics, the huge screen, and the seamless integration into the Playstation ecosystem (and all of my games). My PS5 is hardwired into our router so I’ve had absolutely no issues with remote play inside our apartment. In fact, I’ve been using this thing daily and having an absolute blast.
Alas, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to return the device. The daily threads questioning the value proposition of this handheld have been weighing on me. The internet insists that the Portal is actually not very good after all and I shouldn’t be having any fun with it.
I honestly had no idea and will be shipping it back out to Sony while I’m still within the return window.
I appreciate the humor here and also feeling like I’m getting aware how hard it is to find honest feedback on anything game related with how heavy THE MARKET wants to push influence on the industry. The stuff about BG3 being THE WORST BECASUE IT HURTS BIG MONEY FEELINGS comoflauged articles was INSANE. Fucking Chat GDP ones shilling that little companies shouldn’t be thought of nicely.
Thank you! This entire post is my little way of poking fun at the current state of things. It’s as if the market tries to set a singular narrative for new games/products and it’s very hard to provide honest feedback if it goes against the grain in any way.

That BG3 drama was pretty much fabricated to stir up social media engagement. The sentiment you are complaining about really only existed in the mind of people complaining.
Nevermind that neither Larian or Sony are small companies.
