    Still can't believe I had the same great experience and fun with this game on my Switch as a few years ago on my pc.

    One of the greatest games ever made, and an amazing switch port. Haven’t played other versions, but over 150h of joy in this so far. Blood and wine and the DLCs are amazing

    Great game with incredible optimisation for Switch. The storytelling is among the top RPG games of all time. And the fact it could maintain such a performance on Switch is crazy.

    However, the graphic and loading time sometimes would really ruin your experience. It is great but I would still recommend you to play on other platforms :(

    I didnt rush out to buy the game when it was released as I could not be bothered to start the game again after 80+ hours on PC. But aftet the latest patch which allowed for cloud saves I was all for it. Runs pretty well concidering how detailed this game is. Great port

    A stupendous port that has no right being as good as it is. While the visual and auditory downgrades are obvious, the technical achievement of getting such an immensely large game to run as well as it does on what is essentially a glorified tablet cannot be understated. The entire game remains intact in the Switch release, which the developers even managed to fit onto a 32GB cartridge.A stupendous port that has no right being as good as it is.

The entire game remains intact in the Switch release, which the developers even managed to fit onto a 32GB cartridge. The ability to transfer save files to and from PC is a masterstroke, and makes for a far more compelling experience. I have the freedom to play the game portably on the Switch wherever I want, alongside the option to (rather seamlessly) transfer my save to PC and continue exactly where I left off with 4K visuals and a higher frame-rate when playing at home. It's a truly wonderful combination that I hope more developers take advantage of.… Expand

    Excellent game to be played on the go. I usually skimmed text and skipped audio dialogue because it takes a lot of time, but this game is so immersive with great story and dialogue that i played whole game without skipping any dialogue. At least, not for the first playthrough.

    There is some flaw though, the loading is a bit of a pain when loading new region for the first time. Same goes when you are died and need to reload your save. Another flaw is a bit of performance issue when things get intense. A bit annoying flaw, but not a dealbreaker for me because i rarely died.

    All in all, an excellent game on my book to play on switch, worth the price for the content provided.    … Expand

    This game is LEGENDARY! One of the best games of all time. The story, music, characters, the world, it's all so good! The developers poured so much of their love and passion into this and it absolutely shows.

    Not all language packs are available for all regions. Even if initially on the site language support was announced for a specific region. The information on the site has been changed after the purchase of the game.

    I read the books and naturally wanted to play the game too on my Switch. It performs decently, the graphics are a bit meh, compared to Assassin's Creed and God do I hate the slow pace. I think it depends from player to player, but I wouldn't have minded to have a bit more action, than leisure. Otherwise, as great as everyone says it is!

    Lo jugué varias veces en Xbox One, un gotty bien merecido. Cuando lo anunciarón en switch tuve mis dudas al respecto dada la potencia de la consola. El Port que han echo es de quitarse el sombrero. Por supuesto tiene downgrade gráfico, pero sigue teniendo toda su esencia y llevarlo en una portátil es magnífico. Simplemente un MUST para la hibrida de Nintendo.

    El juego esta bastante bien optimizado en nintendo switch y a pesar de no ser la mejor versión, esta muy a la altura de las demas versiones, CD Project hizo un exelente trabajo porteando este juego tan maravilloso.

    Even though I own a PC I still went for the switch version because of portability and convenience. 10/10 for gameplay mostly.

    I've spent countless hours playing W3 on PS4. So when I bought Switch Lite, W3 was one of the first games I picked for it.
    And boy, what a conversion it is!!! All the detail is there on the tiny screen of Switch Lite, all the light effects, the weather, all of it, and it all runs very smoothly indeed. Well, once I disabled AA, that is. And on the small screen, AA is better off anyways, as    I've spent countless hours playing W3 on PS4.

    While I would not give the PS4 edition of W3Goty perfect ten, I will give this. for porting such a huge game over to Switch is such a tremendous achievement.
    I know, it would prolly look lot poorer if I was playing it on regular Switch, on my 4K tv, but on the small screen of Switch Lite it is the best thing ever. So, a game every Switch Lite owner should buy right now.    … Expand

    Never played witcher before, it is crazy when that big game comes to switch. It's probably not good to play this game in dock mode, but in handheld it was pleasant for me. Great story, vastness of content.

Beautiful combat system great main story... Great design and characterisation of each character... Don't know how to do better

    It is a 10/10 game, with some bugs that depending on the person are ignorable and are especially sometimes funny like with all the weird stuff that can happen with roach, while it can of course be immersion breaking to another. the worst of the game is not the blurrier port, but its the load times with my tests being up to 20 to the worst of 30, but its a massive game on switch, skyrimIt is a 10/10 game, with some bugs that depending on the person are ignorable and are especially sometimes funny like with all the weird stuff that can happen with roach, while it can of course be immersion breaking to another. the worst of the game is not the blurrier port, but its the load times with my tests being up to 20 to the worst of 30, but its a massive game on switch, skyrim does also have somewhat of the same load time issue. the bugs are far from game breaking at ALL, as you can just play the whole game with just the few weird things coming up, and it is a boundary breaking port. and the best part is the portable aspect of it, I say it actually looks better in handheld. everything works the same way as it does on other consoles, no PS4 or PC buff is gonna shun you because you play this version because it is the witcher 3 on switch, coming from the person who originally played the witcher 3 on ps4. and to get my fill cause I'm playing elden ring on ps5, and can't download witcher right now, im getting my fill. A perfect game with with load times, and visual bugs.

    The Witcher 3 should at least be experienced for its good attributes, but you must be prepared for any frustrations. It is a game that bets a large part of its chips on the narrative and the world, so players more used to well-polished mechanics will be surprised.

    There’s a reason The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is considered one of the greatest action-RPGs ever made. The world is brilliantly realized, everything from the gameplay to the story contains a great amount of depth, and it gives players the power to make a meaningful impact on the world through the choices they make. And with arguably the most impressive Switch port of any game to date, players have a whole new way to experience CD Projekt RED’s massive hit, one that just might be the preferred way for those who can stomach mildly-reduced visuals.
