Playing this right now on my PS4 and I'm absolutely having a blast!
I'm now considering double-dibbing to play it portably on my Switch. Can someone tell me how performance und legibility in handheld-mode are? Thanks!

I think legibility in handheld is fine - I've had no worries with it.
Performance - there's the odd stutter, and it always stutters while autosaving, but I wouldn't say that it's intrusive. Loading times, to me, are fine, but I do have nothing to compare them with, so you may find it jarring compared to the PS4 - or not.

Thanks for the info!
How often have you replayed it? Do you think it has replay value?

Ah, I'm still on my first play - I'm kinda putting across my own opinions in my choices (I play games really slowly!)
But next time I might play as someone who is at the extremes of the political spectrum and see how that works!
I think it will have more replay value than, say, most Zeldas as the characters will respond differently to you as you put forward your views. Whether that makes a replay worthwhile, I don't know yet.

I really love the story, dialogue, and characters!
If the magic remains, if I just make some different choices, idk.
But I will definitely give it at least a second go.

So I just finished Disco Elysium and it was definitely a unique experience! The dialogues, characters, and world building are excellent. I really love how your personality traits are characters in themselves, who comment on everything that's happening. But I have to say, the plot twists of the murder investigation felt a little forced and cliché. My biggest gripe is that the game doesn't really value your time. Sometimes you run around for hours without knowing what to do, because there was a dialogue option you still need to trigger, but there's no indication of this anywhere. I also got my self softlocked at some point. After looking for help on the internet, I realized that I have to load a previous checkpoint and loose 3 hours of playtime to progress the story. I also found the ending to be pretty unsatisfying after all the built up. But maybe I got the boring ending resulting from the particular set of choices I made? I'll definitely play the game again with different choices and see how it will go then.
