Switch Title 8 -

This game port is better then it has any right to be. If I had to compare the graphics alone to previous releases it's somewhere in between the ps3 and ps4 release. Some people say that the graphics look dated, but the graphics looked dated when it first launched, it's just the nature of the Elder Scrolls series. You play this for the gameplay which is very open ended, it give you a lot of freedom and you can play anyway you want. Blast enemies with magic one minute then switch to a Battleaxe and cleave enemies heads open. The game gives you a good variety of gameplay options and ways of completing missions and progressing story. The main story isn't the worst thing but you do have a lot of fun with it with the game setting you up for victory. Because of the optional difficulty settings that you can toggle at anytime the game can be as easy or as challenging as you want. Because it is an open world game you can process with quests and story in any order you want and at your own pace or you can mess around and get nothing done but still have a fun time. But because of all the freedom you get the game does have it's fair share of issues. First off the game has a lot of glitches almost none of who've are game breaking and almost always have some sort of work around. Like quest markers not showing up (which is extremely rare) or certain quest Npcs not advancing (also extremely rare) but again these have work around. Some of the smaller glitches are Npcs following you in or out of buildings when speaking to you, occasionally an npc or item clipping through the floor or armor causing your character to be bald while equipped. This is how the game has always been but in its 7 years of being released it has never diminished the gameplay experience if even just offering a few laughs when Mammoths float in midair or dogs are sitting on top of people's heads. The game is less glitchy then the Ps3 that's for sure. The game is also packed to the brim with content. I've owned 3 versions of this game on Ps3, PC and now switch and between those 3 consoles I may have sunk 800 hours and now on the switch I am seeing all kinds of content I never did before. If anything the game is good for when you just want to relax from your first person shooters or competitive multiplayer games. The combat is also pretty fun although you're new to the serious you'll likely devolve combat into either spamming spells or swinging your weapon over and over again until you get into the meat of it and learn how to push back enemies, flinch of block moves. Its a good game. Take it from someone who has bought the game multiple times, it really is that good.

This review will be for the console version, more than the game itself. It runs pretty smoothly for a handheld game. The graphics look great in my opinion, even if they've been turned down for the Switch. No mods available for this version, but if you're looking for portable adventure, it is great for that. I have had minimal crashing, just the occasional one or two. The switch will say the program unexpectedly closed and will take you to the home screen. I've had it crash on other consoles like XBOX too, so this isn't much concern. Minor inconvenience. Looks great on the TV if you're using the Original Switch (not Lite). Controls may take a little getting used to if you're using Joy Cons. The sensitivity is kind of high, even when I adjust it.Otherwise, game plays as expected and it's the classic adventure you expect.

The game is fantastic with it's open world maps and side quests that will keep you busy for months. It is the same game as on other platforms with the only differences being that it is now portable and it is also Amiibo compatible. I haven't tried it with any Amiibos yet but the game runs well and can give you a solid two hours of game play in portable mode. There is little to no lag in the game in either mode and in portable mode the screen is big enough for you to not miss anything during a fight. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a game that doesn't require you to complete events in a specific order, but still wants a game that isn't boring. With tons of quests, puzzles, and hair raising dungeons this game will keep you busy for hours.

I finally can finish what I started 6 years ago when it came out on PS3 and Xbox 360. This is the same Skyrim as the Special Edition version for Xbox One and PS4 without Mod support (not sure if temporary) and slightly less draw distance. The only Skyrim I can compare it to is the original for PS3 which was good when it was good. PS3 Skyrim had some terrible and unplayable lag moments though in addition to bugs and random load screen crashing. I have experienced no such issues in the Switch version and have played it for well over 25 hours so far so that is great. I finally get to experience the Dawnguard and Dragonborne DLC which I wanted to play from PS3 days, but the lag was so terrible I just gave up on trying to get it to run. The Dawnguard quest line is a lot of fun and from what I can tell the Switch version is running the game in a smooth locked 30FPS which seems to be the same on all versions, but it is locked 900P instead of dynamic 1080P which is better in my opinion, but none of that matters anyways. I am just happy I can enjoy the story without terrible frame drops finally. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a great open world game who may have never experienced Skyrim.
