PS4 or Switch?
My computer isn't powerful enough to run this game according to canirunit, so I want to know which of my consoles could run it better. I'd expect that the PS4 has better performance, but I heard that the Switch has gyro controls.
Could anyone please help me? Thank you in advance for any advice.

On a side note, AMD's GPU drivers has a similar function built in.
I have a FX-3820 @ 3.5GHz, 32GB of RAM, and the AMD Radeon R7 250.
Thank you for the tips everyone, if the game isn't as pick up & play as I thought it would be, it makes sense to get it on PS4.
You might be able to run it at low settings, but I read somewhere that FX CPU's have trouble with the game. If you want a smooth experience, I believe the PS4 version is the way to go.

At home vs. On the go, take your pick.

This game isn't really an 'on the go' game. At the recommended pace for the hardest difficulty it'll still take 45 minutes to complete.

Unless you're okay ditching runs halfway through, I wouldn't make 'playable on the go' a factor here.

On a side note, AMD's GPU drivers has a similar function built in. It says I shouldn't be able to run RoR2, but I have stable 60fps on almost ultra at 1080p. My specs are slightly better than the minimum requirements on the store page.
The games become more demanding the further you go in a run, so I usually have to turn shadow quality down a little after a few loops.

To answer your original question:
I read a thread somewhere saying the switch isn't powerful enough to run the game right. After a few stages you will see fps drops. I would go with the PS4 version.

I recommend finding out what consoles your friends have so you can play with them.

If multiplayer doesn't interest you at all, go PS4. I have a friend that owns it on both and he says Switch performance falls off HARD after 3-4 loops, where as he can get 5-6 loops before it starts to lag a little on PS4.

Pause the game?

For hours on end? Just sayin, could definitely be problematic.
