Just picked up my first Xbox Series X since the 360. Looking for game suggestions.

Since there are price increases coming and I know that I can't miss out on GTA later this year I decided to see what I could find used on FB market. I scored a mint Series X for $350.

I have a steam deck and a switch 2 so I'm looking for game suggestions that I can't play elsewhere or wouldn't play well on a steam deck anyway.

I just got MGS delta for 25 bucks on Amazon and I plan on picking up the Halo Master Chief collection when it goes on sale for $9.99 like it appears to do every other month or so.

I'm also going to be hunting for some original Xbox discs to play on it to relive some childhood memories.

In your opinion what are some essential pick ups?

How is Indiana Jones for someone who exclusively plays in handheld mode?

I've seen a lot of reviews and some do touch on the handheld performance but don't really focus on it. If I pick up this game I plan on pretty much exclusively playing it in handheld mode.

Are the frame drops worse? Does the upscaling to 720p actually look nice on the 1080p handheld display?

I have never played the game and I'm completely fine with 30 frames per second if it feels decent. I understand that it is not a fast paced game.

I'm just asking this question to anyone who has been pretty much playing the game completely in handheld mode.

What are your experiences?

This controller is a game changer

I got it for 42 bucks on Amazon. I have always struggled to enjoy playing handheld. I've used different grips but nothing felt right. I hate how the original joycons have the buttons and sticks directly in line with each other vertically. You gotta have them at a 45 degree angle to reach everything with the natural pivot of your thumbs otherwise it just feels cramped to move my thumbs down to the right stick/dpad areas no matter what grip I put on the thing.

It's called a JC500. Never seen many people talk about it or make videos on it.

I got my flip 2 as a preorder so I've had it for just over a year. I've been monitoring the hinge ever since people started having problems. Never had a hairline crack and out of nowhere it just popped. The screen no longer locks open so I reached out and without question they are starting the process of sending me a new one.

This post is not interesting I know. I just wanted to give a shout out to retroid for their excellent customer service even after having the product for over a year.
