As it is, Skyrim on Nintendo Switch looks great, plays great, and actually reminded me why I enjoyed the game in the first place.Ī retail version of the game reviewed was provided by the publisher.
#Skyrim on switch mod
While console and PC zealots may criticize the amount of framerates and pixels, or how you can’t mod your game to make swords into Keyblades, I’d say having Skyrim on something I can fit in a messenger bag and take with me anywhere supersedes any of that pointless debate. This is what I think makes Skyrim on Switch so valuable.
#Skyrim on switch movie
By the very nature of a handheld, it’s easier to step away from the game and approach it more casually as you throw a movie up on a big screen in the background and explore a dungeon on the side.
#Skyrim on switch tv
I think that’s what makes sitting down and playing it on a TV somewhat deflating you’re devoting hours of your life to a game you’ve already devoted hours of your life to. I think it’s safe to say that after six years and several re-releases, the land of Skyrim isn’t as big, nor are its secrets hidden anymore. Beyond that, speaking for myself and any who might share this feeling, it’s the disconnect you have while playing it off the dock.
This is a game you could easily take on the bus, or during a lunch-break, start exploring a dungeon, and put down at a moment’s notice without really breaking the flow. Skyrim has always been both an action-packed game, and one that requires patience. While trying to swing a sword feels awkward and stupid, minor implementations like twisting the Joy-Cons to pick locks, or using the gyroscopic aiming for increased precision shakes things up in a fun way.īut the thing that stands out the most for me is really the portability aspect. The game has been optimized for play on the Switch including the use of some minor motion controls that actually add a nice dimension to the gameplay. Although, the only thing I did notice missing were some of the character facial customization options, which have been reduced-I’m guessing-for performance sake.
The familiar landscapes, people, weapons, and dragons that were all present in the original including the “Dawngaurd,” “Hearthstone,” and “Dragonborn” DLC packs. There are no surprises here this is the same Skyrim you remember. Without sounding like a Nintendo fanboy, I honestly think the Switch is the best way to experience this game.
I did genuinely enjoy Skyrim when it first released in 2013, and there had to be a reason I willingly sunk more than 300+ hours into it. However, despite all that, I really did want to get into this game again with a positive attitude. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Nintendo Switch) – gameplay image via Bethesda Softworks
