    If you enjoy playing open-world games, this game is definitely needed! It's a great game to pass time or to play for sole leisure; it is played on your pace.

    There’s a ton of things to do. You’ll be playing this for a while with all the side missions. Quality in switch isn’t bad either.

    Great port of the game, the visuals do suffer quite a bit if you stare too long. But the game looks great in motion.

    It's Portable Skyrim

    At this point, Skyrim is so established that the most realistic way to check out if it's for you is to watch one of the many, many gameplay videos that exists. That said, the point to underscore here is the portability. This is not the best version of the game (for that, you should look at the PS4/PC version, where modding is possible and the graphics are phenomenal). But portability combined with the open world game? Truly does make Skyrim interesting again (as someone who has purchased it multiple times across different systems)

    Skyrim is a very good port and takes advantage of the Nintendo Switch's portability and joy-con technologies.

    I haven't played this on a PC (only previous versions), so my expectation was low for this to look good. But I am impressed. The game looks and feels really good. I remember spending weeks trying to get my PC to play ES 4 well and this looks really nice. The controls have two modes. One is for using the joycons to aim arrows and such, it is a big change from the PC - but I like it. The game is well worth the asking price, and the gameplay is good on the Switch. Super happy with this and Breath of the Wild I have a real RPG machine I can take with me now.

    4th Time Buying Game

    I don't even want to admit how many hours I have put into Skyrim. I started with a copy on the PS3, then the PC, then the Xbox One, and now the Switch. The Switch is not the best graphically, but I'd say it is at least as good as the PS3 if not a little better. When you think about how it essentially is running on tablet hardware it blows my mind. I've really enjoyed playing on the Switch. The handheld mode is great and sitting on the couch I enjoy having the ability to really relax and have a joycon in each hand. I'd highly recommend this to anyone.

    This has all the Bethesda add-ons. Also, you can use amiibo’s to score lots of extra loot. Tons of fun!

    So i've played Oblivion and that one was really fun but i've never played skyrim until I go it on the switch. What an amazing game and I am so late to the party. My favorite part is how they were able to integrate the motion controls into combat so i find myself playing more standing up than sitting down. To anyone that hasn't played skyrim I defintely recommend it because it also comes with the DLC's.If you've have played Skyrim before but not in years I still feel like it is a good buy for the switch as you can just play it differently.
