In case you haven't spent enough time playing Skyrim previously, you can now play it on the go. The best part of playing on the Switch is that it takes only 2 seconds to go from not playing to fighting dragons. You can play for only a minute or you can play endlessly. It's so convenient.

What can I say other than they got it right . . . I was a bit worried before purchasing that a game the size of Skyrim would function on a mobile device like the Nintendo Switch but from the moment I started it was clear Bethesda Games & Nintendo Switch knocked it out of the park . . .

I've played Skyrim since it came out on pc. I was originally worried that the switch would not be able to handle such graphics and open world but, the switch does an amazing job and the aiming system through the gyroscope and the joy cons are almost on par with the pc versions mouse

LOVE this game on the switch and prefer it on this platform!! Can’t put it down! Love that I can play Skyrim between classes, in the car, or wherever I want. Great graphics too, don’t believe what the critics are saying, they are just being negative haters and trolls as usual.

Yep, 4th time buying this game. PS3, PC, PS4, and now Switch. There's a reason for that... this game is awesome. Sure, the graphics are showing their age, but the adventure and sense of freedom is on full display. Enter the world of SKYRIM and be whatever you want to be.

Unreal this game was created back in 2011. Still holds up like a brand new game. Being able to play this on flights or on the go is incredible. Controls are very cool on switch too and responsive. A must have for the switch for those who love lore and dungeon crawling!

It’s exactly how’d you’d expect it to play. Very fun to have on the go. Only wish it had at least partial mod support.

This game is a great mix of the original and HD remake. It comes with three of the popular mods and supports Amiibo. Running around in this game is beautiful. It’s a six year old game for full price but worth it to play one of the best games made portably.

First off, make sure you can live without mods. No mods or creation club here.
Otherwise, vanilla skyrim and its dlc plays well and ends up making alot of sense on the switch. Playing with controllers and motion controls work great with this classic.

They haven't done much more than put lipstick on a pig with this one. A lot of the bugs are still present, but that's a Bethesda game for you. That being said, it's still beautiful wonderful adventure and having it in a portable form is worth it to me.

This is the full Skyrim experience on a mobile platform. Some graphical downgrades were made when compared to the PS4/XB1 release, but this runs very smoothly and looks better than the original release on PS3/360. Highly recommended for Switch owners!

To me this is the perfect marriage between system and game. While the graphics are not up to par with the PS4 Pro version, it is more than made up for with the portability the Switch offers. If you like Skyrim and have a Switch, this is a must buy.

Decided to go with the currently more expensive version of Skyrim because I travel a lot for work and the portable version of the game looks and plays perfectly! Highly recommend if you're on the go and want to play an excellent version of Skyrim.

If your a fan of the original skyrim, this is the same game but now with the portability of the Nintendo switch. This game is excellent and very well polished. Well over 100 hours worth of content. If your a gamer on the go, this is a must grab.

I was a little hesitant at first hearing that Skyrim was coming to the switch but they actually pulled it off. This is pretty close to playing it on the PS4/XboxOne. They did a great job of porting everything over. Game runs and looks great.

I never managed to pick up this game before. I'm actually glad I waited as having this on a portable system is great. Being able to squeeze in an hour or so at lunch time is a great distraction from work. Looks and runs great on the switch.

The Switch version of Skyrim is a nearly perfect port of the current generation console versions. it looks and runs perfectly compared to the others, and has all of the same content to boot. Incredible value, and a great fit for the Switch.

I originally had Skyrim on PS3, back in 2011. When I heard it was being released on the Switch, I made it a goal to buy it first day. Very good graphics, you can spend 100s or hours on this game and best of all, take it ANYWHERE with you.

If you like Skyrim and have a Switch, buy it - performance is surprisingly solid. If you have a Switch and never played Skyrim, buy it - a great gaming value, worthy of the hundreds of hours you can potentially spend exploring the world.

I know that this game came out 7 years ago. But, it's hard to believe they could get this on the Switch with minimal problems. It still is Skyrim, and has it's wonky moments. This is the third time I have played through this game, now.
