    This game gives you plenty of interesting world to explore, but it starts to feel jumbled. The combat system feels outdated, even though the game still has great moments. Skyrim just feels dull in this day and age because of games like Breath of the Wild, that open up travel with climbing and gliding.

There is an overload of different ways to play, and Skyrim allows you to play the way you want (be a hero, a criminal, a stalker). The story of Skyrim is empty, and winning a big fight is underwhelming, but every once in a blue moon, the game can feel incredible.… Expand

    Bethesda is the worst game developer. None of the known bugs were fixed. But that was not enough for them and they added even more. Every 5 minutes or even more often, you can hear audio noise. 60EUR for a broken game, that's so adorable.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is open and expansive, giving you the tools to truly play the way you want. The variety of quest lines will keep you busy for quite some time.

    ....on PC and the Xbox One. Those versions, particularly PC, epitomize Skyrim's greatness. The Switch version, while obviously the same great game, suffers from two problems that make it virtually unplayable: horrifying input lag and poor framerate. The latter simply makes the Switch version seem graphically inferior compared to the power of the other platforms. The former though...absolutely terrible. I couldn't believe how bad the lag was even with the Switch not docked. I would guess it's around 80-100ms, maybe more. Simply looking at items on the ground to pick them up was difficult, let alone trying to hit a moving target with a bow or spell. I will say this is with a cartridge version; I can't speak for digital. But I returned that cartridge version after less than an hour of suffering.

    Skyrim is an amazing game and I really, really, really wanted to love it on the Switch. But the devastating input lag, poor framerate and graphical inferiority just ruin it on the Switch. Again, I love Skyrim and I definitely love the Switch, but this iteration of Skyrim is so rough around the edges it cuts your freaking hands. I wholeheartedly recommend both Skyrim and the Switch, but stay far away from Skyrim on the Switch.    … Expand

    Conçu avant tout pour les joueurs PC, le passage sur console apporte avec lui son lot de défauts d'ergonomie (que l'on retrouve également sur les versions Playstation et Xbox).

    Ce que j'ai aimé :

    - Des graphismes très bon malgré leur age (fluide avec une distance d'affichage correcte)
    - L'ambiance sonore digne d'un film
    - Un scénario très riche ! rempli de quêtes annexes...
    - 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.

    Pour moi, "Skyrim" est au jeux vidéo ce que "Le Seigneur des Anneaux" est aux livres.

    Bref, je recommande !    … Expand

    the idea that this can be brought anywhere is neat, but something to keep in mind. If playing on battery, it'll probably only last a couple hours, if that. Skyrim dropped the battery fast. Also, there's quite a bit of glare on the screen, so dark areas are really hard to see. So you can crank up the screen brightness, but that of course drains the battery even faster. Otherwise, if you're just going to play with it plugged in all the time, you might as well play it on a laptop or nvidia shield.

    If you like the idea of playing skyrim in the palm of your hands but don't travel with it as often, I suggest one of Nvidias different shield options which mostly needs your wifi connection to play games via steam library, but you'll have your PC's horse power and all the bells and whistles.    … Expand

    extremely excellent !! A fantastic world to explore, fun missions that are even more difficult considering the level of the player, incredible opponents, enemies and memorable factions (and boring to face when they defeat you several times in a row ahaha ...).

    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

    Playing this game for the first time on the Switch has been an interesting experience.

The storytelling is pretty nice, and the art design achieves it's unambitious goal well. Those are the the best compliments I can give this game.

The storytelling is pretty nice, and the art design achieves it's unambitious goal well. Those are the the best compliments I can give this game.
    I constantly find myself comparing this game to the old Might and Magic games (6, 7 and 8 in particular) and finding it to be inferior to those games in most ways. The story has taken a back seat to open world freedom to the point that it is hard to deem the story as anything more than a throw away. Controls are clunky, at best. Leveling follows the Final Fantasy 2 model, which was bad then and is still bad now, unless you love doing tons of repetitive tasks that don't advance the story or provide any meaningful advancement for your character. Inventory management is clunky, and selling off your spools from a dungeon crawl will require visiting 5-10 different vendors, often requiring traveling to multiple cities. Dungeons themselves are linear paths with no puzzles. The world is big, but is fairly empty and contains nothing particularly interesting to look at. The world is brown, white, and dark green...that's it. The art team seems to have been trying to emulate Nordic forests in winter, and has some how managed to build a big empty world that is less appealing than those forests in reality (and yes, I have been to Scandinavia and Russia in winter).

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).

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.

    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]
