    Skyrim has finally been released on the Nintendo Switch, many have already player the game on different consoles or pc, but now you can take Skyrim on the go, the odds are high that most probably you already played The legend of Zelda breath of the wild, and are looking for a great open world adventure, then look no further, Skyrim takes you on an adventure to slay dragons, acquire different equipment, magic, if offers many hours of gameplay, and if you are looking for a new adventure then by all means pic up this game

    Bethesda has done an excellent job porting Skyrim to the switch. The game itself is 5 years old now, so the graphics are a bit dated - especially in the facial expressions and up close, but that doesn’t take away from the game. The Switch, being a bit underpowered compared to current gen consoles, actually handles it just fine - despite a slight reduction in fidelity. Gameplay does not seem affected at all; overall, it’s just as smooth and expansive as the original version I played in 2012 on my XBox 360.

    TES V: Skyrim is already a great game, but add to that an amazing work at porting it to the new Nintendo hybrid console and you've got yourself an excellent game to play on the go. Bethesda did an excellent job at porting this game to the Switch: looks good, runs good and plays good. Smooth framerate and nice incorporation of motion controls, I absolutely recommend this game to anyone that has a Switch, even if you already played it in any other format, this is a new experience altogether.

    Amazing Port of Skyrim

    I originally played Skyrim on the PC and it took me some time to decide whether or not I wanted to get it for the Switch. After some thinking I decided to try it out. I was not expecting it to run as smooth as it did (30 frames, which is really amazing when you consider the size of the game and the Switch's hardware). What this version lacks in graphics/FPS it surely makes up in portability. I never thought I would be able to play full-size skyrim on a portable console!

    What can I say about Skyrim that hasn’t already been said. The fighting mechanics are dated and the graphics aren’t like the PS4 Xbox one or pc. That being said it’s still Skyrim... and it’s on the go... that alone makes it a must buy for the switch

    This is only the second open world game I have played (the other be BOTW) and it is just as good. The graphics remained true to the original release and there few rendering gliches. Game play with the individual Joycons has a little bit to get use to. Being able to switch playing the game in either first or third person perspective is unique and trouble some when you are fighting and inadvertently trigger the switch. Over all it is a great game to play!!

    Skyrim on the Go - What else do I say?

    As a fan of the original Skyrim back on the Xbox 360 - I was hooked. Sank many hours into this expansive game and loved it. As soon as the Switch announced this title it was all I needed to hear in order to want to buy a Switch. I'm an older gamer having grown up in the heyday of the Original NES and have supported Nintendo on each release since. Should you buy this? Yes, only if you want to experience an incredible game on the go. I would recommend.

    So, Skyrim is a really good game. It has a really fun storyline and interesting dialogue. I don't think it should be the first game you should buy upon buying your switch, since Breath of the Wild is much better if you're looking for action and adventure as this game offers. The voices are great, but my only problem is the game is a bit glitchy and slow sometimes. Also, when they remastered this game for the X-Box, it looked so amazing as far as the colors and HD effect. For Switch, it kind of lacks that extra touch.

    It's Skyrim. I've played through this game twice, on two different consoles over the last 7 years. The Switch graphics land somewhere between, say, the PS3 and PS4. Not current-gen good, but an improvement over the original release. The controls are great, load times are very minimal, and the ability to play wherever I go is phenomenal. If you're one of the 5 people who never played it, this is a good version to start with.

    No matter how many times Skyrim gets rereleased, it always offers an amazing adventure every time. This time with the addition of portability on the Nintendo Switch, unfortunately bereft of the enhancements featured on the PS4 and Xbox one version, such as mods and graphical enhancements to foliage and other visuals. Nonetheless, it is still a phenomenal edition to the mediums of which Skyrim can be accessed.
