    The best Witcher 3 is the Witcher 3 you have with you.

    A stunning technical achievement which sets the bar much higher than any of us would have imagined for Nintendo's handheld console. Yes, the graphics aren't as good as your xbone/ps4/pc when in docked mode, as it's essentially a PC port on low graphical settings.

Yes, the graphics aren't as good as your xbone/ps4/pc when in docked mode, as it's essentially a PC port on low graphical settings. However this is a non-issue as it doesn't affect the gameplay at all, and in handheld mode you can't really see any noticeable difference between the different versions anyway. I have an xbox one but I still bought this game on switch as I don't get the opportunity to spend hours and hours playing in front of the TV at home anymore. I'd much rather play this game regularly on the go than rarely at home. On the downside, audio is reduced quality (but not so much that you'd notice), there is no special use of switch features such as gyro, the price is a little higher than I would have liked (Nintendo tax). However these are all minor issues when you consider the gameplay experience is essentially the same as you'd get on much more powerful consoles.

    Full marks to the developer for demonstrating what can be achieved on the Nintendo switch!    … Expand

    Story - great. Mechanics - great. Visuals (after the update) - great. On my PC I never had time to play The Witcher. Finally after 4 years I can do that on my Switch and it is the best of 2 worlds. TONS of content. After 3 months of playing (~100h in the game) I am probably in the middle.

    O que a CDPR e a Saber Interactive fizeram no port do switch foi algo louvável, o jogo está incrível na plataforma, óbvio que tivemos sacrifícios gráficos, mas nada absurdo ou que comprometesse a qualidade do jogo, ainda mais, se lembrarmos que o switch é apenas uma "caixinha" com um hardware super pequeno, enquanto seus concorrentes tem tamanho suficiente para acomodar um hardware bemO que a CDPR e a Saber Interactive fizeram no port do switch foi algo louvável, o jogo está incrível na plataforma, óbvio que tivemos sacrifícios gráficos, mas nada absurdo ou que comprometesse a qualidade do jogo, ainda mais, se lembrarmos que o switch é apenas uma "caixinha" com um hardware super pequeno, enquanto seus concorrentes tem tamanho suficiente para acomodar um hardware bem mais robusto. O que penso é o seguinte: the witcher é um jogo que vai muito além de seus gráficos, mas se você critica a versão do nintendo switch só por isso, é bom que não esteja jogando num ps4 ou xbox one, pois a versão definitiva desse jogo está mesmo no PC. Mas a versão do switch vai além, pois leva uma ventagem em relação a versão dos consoles, afinal, já em seu lançamento, o port do switch veio super bem otimizado e rodando de forma incrivelmente flúida nos seus 30fps, já o ps4 e xbox one, em suas datas originais, apresentavam quedas terríveis de quadros, onde até a chuva do jogo derrubava a taxa para 17/18fps. Então sim, a versão do switch vale muito a pena, ainda mais por já vir com todas as DLCs, é um jogo que, ao lado de Zelda BOTW, será lembrado por várias gerações, assim como Ocarina of Time é lembrado e reverenciado até hoje.… Expand

    The Witcher 3 is not a perfect game but it comes damned close. It rises above its smaller issues to offer a true GOTY contender. The Witcher 3 has improved on nearly every facet of the previous games. The combat offers a visceral experience where proper preparation can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Making effective use of your signs, potions, and oils and knowing whether to use steel or silver adds a higher level of immersion to fighting the world's many monsters.

    CD Projekt Red has crafted a rich world full of fantasy, ambiguity, and political intrigue. Even the seemingly smallest of tasks can become elaborate quests. The Bloody Baron questline in particular is unforgettable. The storytelling, voice acting, and relationships Geralt has; make the world feel tangible and believable. The change to an open-world means fast travel was needed. Of course, you can travel via signposts or you can get where you need to go on your trusty steed Roach.

    The game can be quite serious but also knows when to have a bit of fun and humor as well. You can participate in fistfights and horse races. You can also play a round of Gwent. I liked the in-game card game so much I even ordered the PS4 version of The Witcher 3 just for the Gwent cards.

    There is so much quality fresh content to be had that never feels like its unnecessary padding. Angry Joe had stated he got more out of the Witcher 3 for the same price he has paid for lesser games. I couldn't agree with him more. CD Projekt Red has also seen fit to offer 16 pieces of free DLC as well.

    SWITCH VERSION_______________

    In my PC review I gave the Witcher 3 a 10/10. So how does the Switch version fare? To put it simply the Switch version is one of the most impressive ports on the system to date. DOOM on Switch was a revelation for what a team could do for the FPS on the platform. Witcher 3 ups the bar for several reasons.

    Not only do you get the full base game and all 16 DLC's? You get the equally excellent expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine as well. All of this is on one 32gb cartridge. CR Projekt Red and Sabre Interactive have not skimped on either the port or storage. You don't need to worry about downloading a huge portion of the game. It's all here to enjoy.

    Visually the game looks good. Does it look as good as PC or PS4? No, of course not. You have to remember this is running on a device that is the size of a small tablet. The game has had a few patches. One patch in particular added a host of postprocessing effects that allow you to further customize how the game looks. You can for example adjust the sharpening. More importantly, the patch added Steam and GOG cloud saves.

    The game had concessions made to get it running on the platform, yet it doesn't feel compromised. It would feel unfair to give it a lesser score because it's running on less capable hardware. If anything the hardware it's running on and the job that has been done with this port deserves every bit of praise the other versions get. It's one of the Switch's best ports and Switcher 3 is an example of how to do it right.    … Expand

The story revolves around Geralt, whose current journey is about finding Ciri, his adopted daughter and destroy the Wild Hunt, a mysterious organization who is after her. In spite of the fact that it is the 3rd game in the franchise, it is independent of the previous ones, meaning that it is not needed to have played the previous games to understand this one's story.

    What makes this game so special, is the fact that it offers an impressive combination of open-world, storytelling, music, and combat. The Witcher 3's world is captivating, with charming sceneries, combined with magnificent dark ambient music, which will keep you engaged right from the first minutes of the game. As far as combat goes, it is satisfying and pretty intense, just like you would expect from an action game. However, where the game truly shines is its storytelling; this is the greatest storytelling I have experienced in a video game; from the main story to simple side quests, its dialogues, characters, and the overall narrative are significantly stimulating. You are going to find yourself "lost" in its world, exploring and making quest for many hours.

    The Switch port stands close to other console ports considering how inferior the console's power is compared to PS4 and Xbox One. The game's visuals are blurrier than when playing the game on any other system and the framerate has a few "hiccups" sometimes (mostly on cinematics). However, none of the above reasons take away from the experience. CD Project Red had to "sacrifice" various things to make such a huge and demanding game (plus all of its DLC) run on Nintendo's console and the final result is phenomenal for Switch's capabilities, especially in handheld mode.

    In conclusion, Witcher 3 is indeed one of the greatest, if not, the greatest action RPG ever created. A masterpiece in all aspects that should be experienced by every gamer.    … Expand

    It sticks between 20 and 30 FPS, which for a handheld device, the one with mobile chip-set is a miracle for even to work as well as it does. Cut scenes are locked at 720p at docked so that why the frames drop exist, but throughout game-play, dynamic resolution do it's charm.

    So now short review...
    High score because of portability and huge surprise for the fact that this game appeared on Switch.

    Switch is a compromise and because of that I did not expect great graphics (in comparison to PS4, XO, PC). I expected smooth and pleasant gameplay and CD Project Red delivered!

    + smoothness
    + portability
    + port of one of the best RPGs of all time

    - battery drainer
    - poor graphics (though still within the expectations)
    - crazy expensive for such old game

    I gave 10/10 because I think the game deserves it and I love it, but just to be fair to you all I must say one more time:
    If you have other console and you don't intend to play it in portable mode - DO NOT buy it. Buy any other version! You will spare lots of money and the please of playing on on big screen will be MUCH better (mostly because of the graphics).    … Expand

    - Jugabilidad (10/10) Los controles en    Estoy impresionado con la calidad de este juego, es increíble que esté corriendo en la Switch un juego de esta calidad (todos aquellos que se quejan de los gráficos quiero decirles que no hay comparación, la play es una consola de sobremesa y la Switch tiene menor tamaño que un iPad). Lo he jugado por varias horas y estas son mis impresiones:

    - Jugabilidad (10/10)
    Los controles en Switch se sienten bien, son responsivos y se adaptan perfectamente a la jugabilidad.. en el tiempo jugado no encontré bugs ni caídas de frames, salvo algunas partes donde las texturas brincaban un poco pero no afectó la jugabilidad. Este juego tanto en las cinemáticas como en el gameplay corre perfectamente bien. CD Projekt Red ha puesto su mejor esfuerzo, disminuyendo gráficos pero dando una jugabilidad increíble.

    -Música (10/10)
    Se escucha bastante bien, las voces son impecables y están bien actuadas. Desearía que algunos NPC tuvieran un poco más de voces pero la verdad está bien así como está. LAs partes de acción van perfectamente acompañadas por música que recuerda al Señor de los Anillos, mientras que en las partes tranquilas hay música acorde o incluso no la hay, similar a Breath of the Wild.

    -Gráifcos (9/10)
    Realmente me sorprende que este juego con estas gráficas esté corriendo en Switch. Una consola portátil. Definitivamente hay texturas que se ven falsas y que no están detalladas como en una consola de sobremesa, sin embargo aún así el juego luce genial, digno para ser jugado sin afectar la experiencia de juego. En ningún punto hasta ahora he encontrado partes borrosas, ni fallos graves.

    - Modo Dock/ Modo portátil (8.5/10)
    El único pero que le encontré fue jugando en el Modo portátil pues se calienta mucho la consola y hay que estar frecuentemente enchufando la Switch a la toma de corriente porque la batería se gasta muy rápido. En modo Dock estos problemas no existen y se puede jugar sin ningún problema. La portabilidad se ve limitada por la batería de la Switch, sin embargo con una fuente de corriente cerca no habría problemas.

    En general (10/10)
    La verdad esta compra me sorprendió, pues la edición "normal" de 60 dólares, viene con stickers, mapa póster, libro descriptivo, carta de agradecimiento por compra y el juego completo en un cartucho de 40 gigas (algunas compañías no ponen ni cartucho en el videojuego por estar "pesados" como Wolfestein). De verdad es un gusto jugar este tipo de videojuegos que están hechos por un estudio que se esfuerza al máximo en satisfacer a los usuarios, dejando la vara muy alta para las demás compañías mezquinas que sólo quieren el dinero de la gente.

    The Witcher 3 is absolutely amazing. The visual adjustments made to the game just to get it on the Switch are, while obvious, very well done. The game almost looks like an impressionist oil painting with some PS3 visual artifacts thrown in.

    Definitely lot of love and involvement from development team has been put trough this adaptation to the Switch.
    Nintendo can be proud of such a release in its line up proving that yes, such a massive game is possible and creating a precedent for other third party editors who would like to develop for the Switch.
    Sure dock mode not running graphically as great the handled mode does.    Definitely lot of love and involvement from development team has been put trough this adaptation to the Switch.

    Sure dock mode not running graphically as great the handled mode does. Very surprising when you consider that in handled, resolution is 540p instead of the 720p of the screen. Nevertheless the fluidity doesn t know major drawbacks and still with a pretty solid 30fps making the experience smooth and enjoyable.

    What amazed me is the gestion of lights effects. Incredible ones making you think you are playing as on a Ps4 with the handled mode. Sure some concession has been done, specially in dock mode with adaptative resolution but still highly very enjoyable as the narrative scheme and art direction (supported again by very high quality lights effects) are just INCREDIBLE and unchanged.

    Thanks to CD Projekt Red to be so generous with us, and showing great respect to the players. The content of the physical edition speaking by itself.

Giving it a 0 for lesser graphics is insane, definitely worth picking up if you haven’t played or if you’re going to play in handheld mode.

    So this is one of my few third party games. I do like nintendos formula in producing great games. However, buying this went without question. Having heard that it was held in high acclaim on other formats. I must confess to have only just started venturing into the game but from what I have seen it seems to have the making of a classic.

    The result is just fantastic - to be able to play such a deep and immersive universe, on a portable console, is simply the biggest challenge so far well executed on the Switch. CD Projekt Red found the perfect companion to bring this to reality with Saber Interactive. Even after finishing twice the game on ps4 Pro , it's a new pleasure to meet Geralt and this world , anywhere I want in my pocket !

Obviously, the graphics have downgraded, but on the portable screen, it’s not an astronomical difference, and definitely doesn’t ruin the game. The only thing I would say is a tiny bit troublesome is examining and searching areas on the smaller screen. The switch screen is quite a but smaller than a 65” tv, so it is taking me some getting used to. I’m sure I’ll be used to it in a couple days. Is this the best way to experience Witch 3? No, but it’s the best/most engaging game I’ve played on Switch, yet. So, I’m definitely pleased with the game and hope that more RPG games get ports to Switch!… Expand

    The best way to sum it all up is this; you wouldn't rate this game a 1/10 on PS4 or Xbox simply because you can't carry the game around with you!
    In the end, the trade off between graphics and portability is perfectly executed. I own Witcher 3 on PS4 and Switch, and have definitely enjoyed it much more on the Switch!

There are no obvious renegade choices and obvious paragon choices. It's all gray and challenges your morality. Some picks sound good but end up becoming bad. And some are both bad and you're forced to pick your version of lesser of two evils. And all the side quests are great. Before Witcher 3 I was use to lazy "Go here and do this" mini side quests that dotted a large map (Skyrim) but each quest is unique and detailed. Even a two parter quest has a lot of backstory and intrigue. Hell some side quests like The Bloody Baron is so well done I thought it was part of the main questline. And the characters are all written well. Each seem believable and unique even the one time deal quest givers. 10/10

    Gameplay: Like any good RPG there are a multitude of mechanics from brewing potions to crafting gear at a blacksmith to selecting your talents and skills to level up. Combat is the weakest link in this whole game but that isn't to say it's bad just above average in a pool of masterpieces in other fields. But combat is diverse as there are dozens of different types of monsters in 12 types of species that all fight and react differently. One is weak to fire where one uses zergling style of fighting. One is more powerful in certain areas. This is probably the strongest point as two monsters are never the same. Fighting a Drowner is not the same as fighting a Leshen. Not to mention the mechanics behind potions and oils that change up the gameplay for each encounter. Overall gameplay is a masterpiece. 10/10

    Sound/Music/Voice: Sound quality is superb. Sword strikes sound real, the creaking of leather and plate as Geralt moves around in cutscenes, monster roars and crys fit the monsters that produce it. Nothing seems out of place and too overly done that becomes annoying. Music is amazing as it has this Norway/Polish old timey feel to it. The casual traveling music fits well but where it really shines is the battle music. When fighting monsters and humans the music incorporates this chanting style in the main zones and this awesome classical style in the DLC zone. Not one is done wrong and fits the feel of what it sets out to. The voice acting is so top notch that it makes me wonder what the !@#$ Bethesda is doing wrong in their games. Sure voices are repeated but the amount of voices in this game seem to triple or quadruple that of Fallout and Skyrim not counting the main/super important characters as they all have unique never used again voices. This helps tremendously as it gives those people that extra bit of characteristic. 10/10

    Graphics/Switch Port: In short if you have a PS4/PC/XBONE and you're a huge stickler for high pixle count and frames then obviously this isn't for you. This is the weakest part in the switch port and even though the switch is, of course, weaker than pc/other consoles I can't overlook the impact of the game. When in combat the game pixle count does dip close to the 500ps to maintain 30fps. But in cutscenes the frames dip well below 30 and into 15ish at times if the scene is heavy. These are not in every cutsceen but close to every 3rd scene. And it is super noticeable. The scenery itself is blury and foggy and popins are always a given. The switch vs pc looks and feels are so night and day they might as well be in two different solar systems of difference. On TV the game looks so muddy. But in handheld it looks crisper. Also if you thought BotW was a battety vampire then ooohhhh boy this one is 2 BotWs playing at the same time for battery life. After saying that this port does have it's biggest plus which is the physical version has EVERYTHING on one SD card. Sure there have been patches since release but they are not needed to pop in and play. In a world where capcom and 2K release smaller games that require 20G downloads on physical releases. CD Project Red found a way to stuff ALL of Witcher 3 into a small sd card. HOW?! And this is the entire game PLUS all the 16 freeLC that came out PLUS Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine. HOW?! JUST HOW?! Fact is this is The Witcher 3, easily one of the best RPGs of this generation and arguably the best RPG of all time, on a portable handheld. That wins a lot of points BUT I cannot ignore the graphical short comings it does have. 8/10

    Conclusion: If you are an RPG fan/Witcher fan/never played the witcher then get this game pronto. I've tripple dipped for this game (PS4, PC, Switch) and it was worth it every time. The only people that shouldn't get this is if you have another way to play Witcher 3, are a stickler for frames/looks AND only play The Switch on the TV and never use it's portability. Overall 9/10    … Expand

    Never played this one on other console. I was hesitant to buy it due to some people talking about the graphics downgrade and performance issues. I bought it mostly tu support the physical edition on switch, which is an example every publisher should follow. The entire game is on the cartridge !!

    Este juego es increíble, el que corra en una nintendo switch es simplemente fuera de este mundo, los recortes gráficos son notorios y eso es lo que lo separa del 10 perfecto, pero el que corra en una portátil como la switch es simplemente magnifico. Creo que un juego como este puede veneficiar de un cross save con steam como el divinity 2.

    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.

    The Witcher 3 is so involved, that the Switch version outputs 720p picture to your big screen.

    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.
