They’ve done an incredible bit of UI design to make it all work with a controller. I’ve played it almost exclusively from the couch or portably on my Steam Deck.
One thing I’d recommend is to go into options and change the health warning threshold to 60% instead of 40%. It’ll help your survivability.
A couple of handy controller tips that I hope survive the translation to the Switch controller:
Use LT+Y to autoexplore. This will have your character look at everything interesting on the screen for clues to new places to explore & gather some obvious stuff.
Press Y to prompt which edge of the screen to move to, saving you from having to click through every space.
If it looks like there’s something in your square that you want to grab or look at, use LT+A and then A again to pull up a list of your own square (or you can indicate an adjacent square and press A).
