As in the title - its on sale on all consoles at the moment for a very good price and I was wondering what console should I get it on. I like the idea of playing it on the go and I thought as it looks like it should run no difference what console im playing it. But I heard some mixed reviews regarding the performance on Switch.

I don't think the OP was really looking for a review of the game, and given the accolades it received for writing, calling the game "badly written" likely makes your review an outlier.

A lot of people apparently enjoy playing a brain damaged main character. I did not.

I've heard this as a sticking point for some people, and I think it's fair. Some don't enjoy putting themselves in the shoes of a complete fuckup main character who's already made a ton of terrible decisions before the game's even started and will continue to do so despite your best efforts.

But, worth noting this is part of the appeal for a lot of other folks, and the game is going somewhere really special with it. It's not bad writing, it's a necessary component of the story being told.
