The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Standard Edition - Nintendo Switch [Digital]

I YOU LOVE Nintendo lllllllllllllllllllllllllklllkkk

I have Skyrim on various platforms. It’s my favorite game ever and I will never not recommend it. However one issues I have with the Switch version is there is this terrible scratching/sudden static sound that happens every ones in a while when playing. This issue made it hard for me to decide between 4 starts or 5 since it doesn’t affect the game itself but rather it’s just an annoyance. It comes and goes but it can be a real damper on the game play. It’s quite annoying but since it doesn’t last long and you can usually make it stop by saving and restarting the application, it’s not a huge miss for me. Other than that the game is as fantastic as ever. Still good old Skyrim. :)

Lets get a few things out of the way... Yes, this is a six year old game. Yes, the graphics are a bit dated by current standards. Yes, you probably purchased this on one or more platforms in the past. All that being said, this is Skyrim on a handheld system. That is a testament to how fast technology has advanced in just six short years. It runs remarkably well. It looks great on the handheld screen at 720, and looks fine docked at 1080p. As good as a current PC, PS4 or Xbox? No. Does that matter? No. I know everyone likes to compare specs these days. But if specs are your top priority, you probably shouldn't own a Switch. You can now play a game that just 5-6 years ago required a high end gaming PC. A remarkable achievement. Overall, this review isn't about the specifics of the game. There are hundreds of reviews going back years if you want those. This version doesn't have mods but that is ok. This is to introduce those who never took the time to play Skyrim and enjoy it in portable form. Highly Recommended. Lets hope Morrowind and Oblivion are not far behind.

Doesn’t state it but it comes with the 3 DLCs and also the Zelda items. Is pricey but you get the bonuses. I waited until I had certificates to take most of the blow for me. Now I can play Skyrim in bed, school, or hook it up to the projector

I have somewhere around 40hrs in this game and I quite like it. It's not my usual cup of tea, but I have fun being a menace in the simulated society. My dad however, is a completely different kind of player. He was curious about it one night when he saw me playing for a bit. I set him up on my guest account creating a character and I basically lost my Switch for an entire month after that!! So, I bought him this physical copy and we transferred his save data over (fairly easy process btw, thanks Nintendo). He's now somewhere in the 50s with his orc werewolf and has nearly completed the entire map! He's an OG WOW player from back in the day, so I'm not surprised about his ability to grind and the bizarre little exploits he's managed to find embedded within the game. If you haven't played Skyrim yet though, it's a real treat. Something special for sure.
