    This game has to be one of the most boring in the world. Might as well be the Oregon Trail

    This is the kind of game that makes me dizzy and gives me a headache. I would love to play it, but I can’t.

    The viewing experience is dimmed on the Switch in many of the Dungeons making it almost too hard to play.

    Nailed It!

    I wasn't sure what this was going to turn out like being on handheld, but the switch handles this game perfectly. I have always said I would immediately buy a handheld gaming system the moment that Bethesda put one of the Elder Scrolls games on it. This looks better than the original 360 and PS3 versions and I haven't seen any frame rate drops yet. Yeah, the game is pretty old by now, but this is a fantastic port that in no way feels dumbed-down, and it's just fun to play on the go. Make no mistake, this is Skyrim, not some watered down wannabe. Loving it!

    Great game... Good port.. Never on sale.... It's outrageous this never gets a reduction in price. Luckily I can play Skyrim on Steamdeck now with the game I originally bought back in 2011... No need to pay $60 for this version.

    Amazing

    In regards to the games performance... the game did crash once or twice on me over a 50 hour period (or more of game play) and I have ran in to some sound issues a few times (nothing big, would be some distortion, and then would return to normal). Bethesda did an excellent job with this game, and the port looks awesome in hand held mode. Having this game in the palm of your hands is unreal. I would easily say this is the best hand held game, I've ever played. I highly recommend this game for people who really want to dig in to a Skyrim adventure. Try to have some idea of how you want to build your character, and put your points in to the proper skill trees.

    An instant classic. Graphics are updated from original ps3/xbox 360 release. Delve deep within the world of the elder scrolls with this sprawling non linear rpg. A huge map to see and explore. Weapons to create and armor to craft. You level up by using particular skills so the more you use that shield or boe and arrow the higher your level goes. One of my top ten favorite games of all time and my favorite game that came out on ps3 back in the day. Still soooo much fun to this day.

    Great game, great port, very stable, the image is clear and the graphics look amazing. Stable 30fps, haven't seen any bugs so far. Can't believe this is my third time buying Skyrim, but if there's a game worth paying for, it is Skyrim. Recommended.

    It's Skyrim

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    While you might not believe it, it's Skyrim. You've probably played it before, but to be real you'd probably played it several times and own at least two copies already. Okay so, why get it on Switch? Portability and motion controls. It's a seriously well-done port and the motion controls are fun.

    Same Skyrim, but on the go

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The motion controls are pretty solid, and overall is a good port. With that in mind, it still has it's share of Bethesda bugs. So far none that have managed to ruin the game for me (although I have no idea where my companion vanished to), but it's just something to keep in mind if you're thinking of picking it up.

    Skyrim is an amazing game, so much replay value. I just can’t do it with the joy cons. Thankfully they make controllers for the Switch also.
