    Great game that has hundreds of hours of story, fantastic graphics, and exciting dragon battles. The Switch port holds up well. There are always new ways to experience skyrim, even if you have been there many times before

    Great game but I don't feel exploration is encouraged as everywhere looks the same once your running in the wilderness.
    The colour pallet could be a bit less in dark and grim.
    Too many warp points it's just confusing.

    WOW!!! what a load on content. Playing it on the Switch is awesome. Plays and sounds perfect. It has a good story which other open world games )like Breath Of The Wild had nothing to offer) Yes the Graphics are only a touch better then the PS3/360 but it is still just a great game. Huge worlds and tons of quests. Great job Nintendo/Bethesda

    SPOILERS HERE: Near the end of the game when you help decide what happens in the war is great. Right after that meeting, the blades inform you that you have to kill paarthurnax if you want their help. But if you kill him the greybeards won't talk to you. it doesn't change the plot but it's a nice touch.

    Even tho the story is great I feel combat could be improved. It's kinda just based on who has more health or Magicka. I love the different spell variations. Different match up types adds a nice flare to using spells. Very much a must buy.    … Expand

    A surprisingly competent port of the old classic. It comes with all the good and bad of Skyrim: a great open world, tons of quests and many hours of fun but there are the usual glitches and bugs too. Load times are slow and there is no chance of having mods but on the other hand it's still the full Skyrim experience in portable format including all of its DLCs.

Yes and no. Honestly the age of this game did make it rough to play at times, but I feel as though my thoughts would have been the same even if I played it back in 2011. The game has a high level of charm to it, with a vast world to explore and all sorts of quests to dive into, and decisions you have complete control over even to the point of the main story being nearly optional. That said the world is... mostly hideous. The NPCs are gross looking, the environments are drab and ultimately make Skyrim feel like a place you'd never want to live. The music is often dull, then soothing when it calls for it, and at it's best during big battles, which are certainly the highlight of this game. I would have loved more of that and less of the repetitive dungeon diving that made up most the game and it's quests (I swear some dungeons were just copy and pasted from previous ones with slight tweaks). So when you combine an ugly world with repetitive dungeons, it made this a rough game to stick with consistently. Oh, and the main story is essentially terrible until more than halfway through, which certainly doesn't help.

    All my gripes aside, I must say... there is a charm about this game. Maybe it's the laughably bad glitches (even the ones that are gamebreaking and you have to look up to fix), or the fact that you really can explore the whole world at your own leisure, truly doing whatever you want in any order you want. Maybe it's how cool the shouts make you feel, especially the one that made me feel like a Targaryen calling out my dragon to burn down forts. The unity of the factions you joined, how deep their stories go. I can't explain it but... though I could spend all day picking out the flaws in this game, something about it always made me come back with a smile on my face. I can only hope Elder Scrolls 6 takes the series to new heights, but as far as 5 goes, it truly was a fun time.    … Expand

    15 years of portable gaming, this was what we've been dreaming of. Spent hours just staring into snowy night forests and mountains and fighting feels like childhood fantasy. I would give just 9/10 if big consoles would run this with 60 fps, but they don't. Just this one game is a reason to go with Switch.

    I can see why people have bought this game numerous times. It’s a timeless classic and has aged pretty good. Sure there’s the odd glitch or bug but most times it’s just something entertaining that happens every now and again but people go on that it’s so bugged filled that it’s not worth playing...ohhhh yes it is.

People have beaten this game over and over just because it’s that great of a game. Sure there’s Zelda breath of the wild but Skyrim can just pass hours after hours when you finally realize that your battery us about to die. But yes..double dip..this game rocks.… Expand

    Skyrim on Switch.

However Bethesda did decided to treat the fans of the Switch and Skyrim by adding a little Zelda easter egg into the game. Overall the game plays exactly like it does on any other console it handles fine and plays great, however with the gyro controls of the joy cons you are able to swing them as if you have a sword however this is more of a gimmick than practical and I'm sure many won't use it generally. However it can become a little frustrating when at time you draw your sword or take a swing you didn't mean to just because you moved yourself on the sofa or something.

    Despite this though the game is still as great as ever and provides a new enjoyable way to experience the game on the go.    … Expand

In addition, the mods would be a great addition but Bethesda chose not to include them. So the overall package is vanilla Skyrim with the DLC included and slightly improved graphics (that's why I can't give it a perfect 10); On the other hand, its great to have one of the best games of all time on the go. If you are a Skyrim veteran, you're definitely going to enjoy revisiting the world of Skyrim one more time and on the go, but keep in mind that it's the exact same game you played back in 2011. If you've never played Skyrim before, just do yourselves a favor and go grab it. It's one of the best action/open world/rpg games of all time; you won't regret your purchase.… Expand

    This is actually my first time experiencing Skyrim, ever. I'd managed to avoid it for almost seven years after its release before now, and overall, I'd say I'm pretty impressed with it.

I'd managed to avoid it for almost seven years after its release before now, and overall, I'd say I'm pretty impressed with it. I'm sure it was way more impressive back when it came out than it is now, and it was definitely interesting to see just how much inspiration Breath of the WIld took from it (though I'd still prefer Breath of the Wild).

    I'll just list a few things I really liked about this game:
    -there is an insane amount of quests in this game, and thankfully, they aren't just cumbersome fetch quests (though a few of them are). Too many of them boil down to "go to this location and kill these guys then come back for a reward," but even though actually completing the quests boils down to repetitive tasks, the mini-plots you're treated to for completing those quests are very often entertaining, unpredictable, and do more to flesh out Skyrim's rich lore.
    -the amount of locations and unique characters you can interact with is genuinely staggering
    -unpredictable things are happening to you constantly. You might be on one quest, but then suddenly you'll witness a random NPC murder another random NPC which throws you into another quest that you want to watch play out. You may walk into a town that you've come to a hundred times before, only for somebody to confront you with something you may have seen earlier in the game but never given a second thought to. You may go to bed in an old tavern only to be kidnapped by a freaky murder cult and forced to do work for them. There's really no telling what could happen to you next.

    Those are the things that I enjoyed most about this game, but, that being said, there are quite a few issues that kept this from being one of the greatest games I have ever played (though it did come close to being one of the best):
    -people really weren't joking when they talked about the infamous glitches in this game. There are a lot of them. Many visual glitches, and often enough there are annoying audio glitches.
    -glitches can be very easy to exploit. I only started playing about 5 weeks ago, and I've already passed level 250, because I came upon a glitch that lets you instantly go from 15 to 100 in individual magic skills if you've got enchanted armor that reduces the amount of magika it takes to cast spells in certain schools of magic, and you fast travel while you're casting that spell on something (for example, you can use the Telekinesis spell on an object, and fast travel while doing so to instantly get that skill to 100), then you just need to reset the skill and repeat, every time you fast travel anywhere. That's just one exploit I came across, there are several others I've used, and I'm sure many bloggers and forumers have uncovered hundreds of others.
    -the actual gameplay is somewhat cumbersome and lacking in real challenge. Combat is based more on statistics than skill, so your progression is more based on grind than anything else.
    -the voice acting can be laughable
    -some aggravating glitches prevented me from completing certain side quests.

    Anyways, I actually really really liked this game (I've already played it for 160 hours, and plan to play it more), there's just a few technical things that keep it from being one of my favorite of all time, though I completely understand why so many other people are in love with it.    … Expand

    - Une totale liberté d'évolution dans le jeu, de plus l'open world est gigantesque
    - Un arsenal de folie !
    - La durée de vie !

    Ce que je n'ai pas aimé :
    - trop d'objets ! beaucoup sont inutiles et polluent votre "sac" et votre quête (assiettes et autres couverts, livres...etc). Les livres sont très chronophages sauf si vous aimez la lecture.
    - manque de raccourcis pour paramétrer tous les sorts "favoris"... on se retrouve à jongler constamment avec le menu pour changer sorts et armes, et ce lors des combats !
    - des textes minuscules que l'on retrouve également sur un autre jeu Bethesda "Doom"
    - des déplacement assez rigides qui perturbent la précision des combats
    - un peu trop sombre et souvent.

    Mis à part cela, le portage est d'excellente qualité. Que la console soit docké ou en mode portable, je n'ai pas perçu de différence.

    As somebody who has played Skyrim on PC for years, I was a bit worried that the game would not translate well to a smaller screen without keyboard and mouse controls, but I have been pleasantly surprised.

    The graphics are almost (but not quite) as good as on PC or other consoles. Depth of field and light shafts are present, but less pronounced, and the maximum resolution is not as    As somebody who has played Skyrim on PC for years, I was a bit worried that the game would not translate well to a smaller screen without keyboard and mouse controls, but I have been pleasantly surprised.

    The graphics are almost (but not quite) as good as on PC or other consoles. Depth of field and light shafts are present, but less pronounced, and the maximum resolution is not as large. It feels a bit more like vanilla Skyrim than Special Edition, but I was still very impressed with the graphics, especially when I'm playing in the portable mode.

    Sound is one area where I have noticed some good and bad. On the PC version, I feel like I have to turn the volume way up in order to hear some of the ambiance and character voices, but on the Switch version, they have balanced the sound levels out wonderfully. It sounds great without having to blast it. However, there are some audio issues added in this version as well. Sometimes, when casting a spell, the audio gets delayed until several seconds after the spell is complete, and then plays. Also, I will occasionally hear an audio spike. It sounds like some loud static for just a fraction of a second, and this definitely did not happen in any other version of the game that I have played. But, these audio issues are rare enough to shrug off.

    Gameplay is just as great as it has always been. Having so many different ways to play and things to do basically guarantees high replay value and the possibility of putting hundreds of hours into the game. That said, it also retains the same bugs from previous versions. In maybe 100 hours of playing the Switch version, it has crashed three times. I hear that you can avoid crashes if you close out of the game completely (and not just put it in sleep mode). I have started doing this occasionally, and haven't had a crash since.

    Controls are pretty impressive. I'm not a huge fan of using a controller for a first person game, but the Switch version compensates by allowing you to use motion controls to aim magic or bows, and it works pretty well. It can still be a bit of a pain when trying to aim very precisely at a far away target because the motion controls aren't extremely precise, but I still find that I often prefer using motion controls over the sticks. Plus the Switch version (and the Special Edition generally) has aim assist on by default, so that helps out too.

    The Switch version also allows for motion controls when picking locks, which is pretty satisfying.
    And finally, the Switch version includes some Zelda-themed gear, which you can get even if you don't have an Amiibo. This gear is good, but not the best you can find in Skyrim.

    To conclude, Skyrim on Switch is pretty much the same Skyrim that everybody knows and loves, but you can take it on the go, and it adds some pretty useful motion controls. It's a must-buy for anybody who hasn't yet played Skyrim or for anyone who just needs an excellent first person RPG on the go.    … Expand

The new motion controls are a very welcome addition and really help energise the magic and archery combat which would have been cumbersome otherwise. Audio is also sublime and the game maintains a very respectable frame rate. It's hard to findSkyrim looks just incredible on Switch.

Skyrim is one of the all time greats so I'd recommend this to anyone with a Switch.… Expand

    If you have played this game on PC, then you're probably gonna have a bone to pick with the graphics. I was personally amazed at how well they have managed this port. Gameplay is just as I remember, with genuinely no slowdown. My only problem is the price of it here in UK (I work at a games store so I got a fairly generous discount). I say jump in if you want a nice healthy dose of nostalgia.

    I mean, it's skyrim. It was amazing and fun when it first came out, and it is still amazing and fun today.

It looks good, considering it's a last-gen game, and frame drops are very scarce. The best part though, is that you can now take skyrim anywhere you want with no inconveniences. There goes my social life. Weather you had never played it, or you had played it for hundreds of hours, this is an amazing port for an amazing game.… Expand

    I didn't like it on PC, but I love it on Switch. After accepting the *humhum* well... dated animations and accepting it as it is : a role playing game with a graphic interface, then it gets so fun ! Being able to visit a cavern then pause. Kill some bandits, then pause. Do anything an pause and again and again. It's somme good time you spend visiting the cold land of Skyrim.

    Skyrim Is a big and massive game with a lot to do a lot to see. The World is full of hidden dungeons, caves and side quests! Along with that it has a ton of weird and wacky enemies ranging from Giant Spiders To Yetis! But The Main Enemies you want to hunt down are BIG and scary DRAGONS.When you kill a dragon you take its soul and you can use these dragon souls to gain new shouts likeSkyrim Is a big and massive game with a lot to do a lot to see. The World is full of hidden dungeons, caves and side quests! Along with that it has a ton of weird and wacky enemies ranging from Giant Spiders To Yetis! But The Main Enemies you want to hunt down are BIG and scary DRAGONS.When you kill a dragon you take its soul and you can use these dragon souls to gain new shouts like become ethereal witch means that you become a phantom and you cannot do damage or take damage but its loud so enemies will hunt you if you use it. And On The Topic Of Shouts There is also magic! Magic Is An Important Thing In The Game, It Can Give elemental damage or heal your wounds. So Mastering The Art Of Magic is really Important! BUT You Only Have A Certain usage of magic before it runs out. There are Some ways to restore your magic two of them being waiting around or using potions. On The Subject Of Potions They Can Do Many Things Such as Healing Yourself Restoring Magicka And Stamina Along with other effects. Potions Are Some Of The Many Items You Can Carry And Use In Skyrim. You Can Pick Up Damn Near Anything Like plates bottles wine a Toothy Keys Papers Pen ect ect ect ect. But Almost everything you pick up has weight to it. You Have a set number of weight you can carry before going really slow. To Lower Your Weight Sell Your items or drop them. You Can Get Items By Exploring Doing Side Quests Or going into dungeons/caves. This Leads right into combat. the combat in skyrim is very interesting because to be good at combat you need to predict your enemies moves and block them now there are many different types of weapons in skyrim like double handed weapons the double handed weapons are greatswords or giant battle axes now double handed weapons do more damage than one handed weapons one handed weapons have varieties like daggers swords and axes. And also maybe the hardest to use as your main weapon in skyrim is the bow now the bow does best for killing dragons but not like main enemies. To Attack Simply press zl and zr respectively. In The Story Of Skyrim You Are A Dragon born Which Means Your The Only one who can stop dragons. So When A The Dragons Awaken your going to be busy. But what if your in trouble or need to hurt around you can press L To Run But This Lowers Your stamina. Stamina is important because It allows you to run and do super attacks along with other crap. To Refill Your stamina You Need To Wait Or drink specific potions. Now You Have Explored long and hard have tons of items killed monsters and done other crap! Now you probably leveled up! You Can Select 3 skills magicka Health and stamina, upgrading health magicka and stamina respectively. Along with that you get another skill Point to upgrade anything you wish from stealth to restoration to combat! From there you have many smaller skills to upgrade. To Upgrade some of these skills level up the said skill to the level needed by using that skill. To Level up You need to get exp. You Can Get exp From Monsters and side quests. So That's The Overview of skyrim In General, But There are some switch exclusive Stuff. For one you can tap any amiibo to get items in skyrim. There is also Some Zelda gear also. And that covers it. The Graphics on the switch version look beautiful and detailed. And it runs at1080p Docked and 720p Handheld. Which Is A downgrade from the ps4 Version But That's The Very Small Sacrifice you have to make for handheld play. The Controls Are Responsive and have a good feel to them which makes it fun. And Finally The Music Is Pretty Good Not The Best Ever But Its Not annoying.

    There are some problems though with skyrim and we will quickly run through them.
    It's hard to have to constantly save so you don't lose all of your your progress
    Skyrim also has very touchy fall damage like if your on a horse and your going down hill you have to be careful because one little drop and you and your horse are dead
    When your trying to climb a hill you cant its impossible your only chance is to use a horse ps that's how you get the zelda gear early is by using a horse to climb up a hill
    There is also stupid enemies use magic while your getting slaughtered by other enemies

    Even With Some Problems Skyrim Is Still A Wonderful Game That Is Fun And Has A Ton Of Stuff To Do. Skyrim Has Never Been Better Now With added portability. This game gets a 95%. It's Too Bad In Skyrim You Can’t Be Immortal…………… That Was The Worst Pun Ever…………. Guys Be Sure To Check Out Immortal Gamer In YouTube And twitter He's Truly Cool. Well Let's a go!    … Expand

    My score might be just slightly overblown, as there is no new content, no actual remaster in place, and the game is 7 years old and is sold for a full price. But hey, I'm in the Nord realm again, and it's my, like, 20th playthrough, and I'm still glued to the screen like a teenager, a long, long time ago. And this time, I can take if everywhere with me. If you own a Switch, it's a must.

    Anyone who dreamed of exploring Skyrim on the go or during prolonged toilet sessions, will instantly forgive a slight downgrade needed to ensure fluidity (the game almost always runs at 30 fps). Apart from some visual trade-offs and a bit of exclusive Nintendo content (e.g. Link’s outfit) it’s the same game you know and possibly love. [01/2018, p.50]
