There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Otherwise, game plays as expected and it's the classic adventure you expect.
The only problem I have is that the game is really dark at times and unless you're playing in a dark room the reflection of light off of the screen makes it a little difficult to see the game. If you just want to huddle up in bed and get lost in the game like I do, this isn't an issue. But if you're truly looking to take Skyrim on the go this will probably be an annoying problem to deal with.
Skyrim is still as glitchy as it always has been, so don't expect any improvements there. But if you haven't played in a bit this is a great way to jump back into the game for another go. Definitely worth buying if you want to play the game in handheld mode, but if not just stick to PS4/XBOX/PC.
The Switch port runs at 900p in docked mode and a dynamic 720p in handheld mode. Looks great on both, framerate is nice and smooth the entire time. Apparently there's an audio glitch people are experiencing sometimes but I haven't noticed it myself.
This is the "enhanced edition" that came out for PS4/XB1 fairly recently, so it has some graphical tweaks to the engine and contains all of the DLC for the game. Not all of the graphical upgrades are present on the Switch, but it's still a gorgeous game with an incredible world and a ridiculous amount of content.
Bottom line, if you haven't played Skyrim and have a switch, get this (or get it on PC if you want to mod it). If you've played Skyrim to death already, you'll still probably buy this, who are we kidding. If you've played Skyrim but not for 1000 hours like others have, this is a great platform to get it on because the portability alone makes it incredibly compelling.
They are the most interesting person to watch play a game as this game captivates, awes, frustrates, terrorizes, and sucks them back in for more. I know they're having fun exploring and it makes me happy.
By extension I have gained a perk for buying this for them. Kudos.

Runs smooth and great old skyrim.

¡Hasta me aprendí la música del intro!
E a entrega pela Games4 foi sem problemas, como sempre.
Siendo sinceros, es uno de los mejores títulos que puedes conseguir para la Nintendo Switch, no solo porque se trata de la versión revisada del juego (con un ligero incremento en texturas y tres expansiones incluidas en el cartucho), sino porque es muy difícil de encontrar por un buen precio allí afuera, tanto en subastas como en la propia tienda digital de la consola. Lo compré con una oferta ligera del -10%, pero lo vale, por tanto contenido rico dentro del juego (excluyendo la historia principal).
