    I didn't think it was possible with this hardware.
    All I can say is WOW!!!
    Simply amazing. So far the best Switch game of 2019. This is shaping up to be one of my all time favorite games.
    Fantastic story, fantastic quest design and world design.

    This port is mindblowing on multiple levels and the downgrade means nothing if it doesn’t detract from the gameplay experience. Fantastic port of a terrific game that I can now play anywhere I want.

    CD Projekt Red did the impossible, porting a game with this scope seemed unreal but look and behold.

    Menuda putisima mierda de juego. Anda que no he tenido que revivir por culpa de los putos bugs de mierda. Estoy reventando boses y se muere el gilipollas porque se queda atascado el pedazo de mierda y no es capaz de salir. No me he cargado la puta switch de milagro.

    Esta bastante bien , las contras son : el precio elevado para un juego de casi 5 años .. que lo encuentras en pc por 8.Cuesta ver y leer los diálogos. Lo único si lo quieres por ser portatil....

    I wish I could say it's a good game, but it's not. It's full of things that make you go "why?!?".

Items aren't really there, characters are not really there, the world is a mirage; largely lifeless, empty shell, filled with animated graphics, is all.

    The controls are clunky, the fights are boring, the character development makes near as no difference, need I go on?

    Want something interesting that looks better, works better, more alive? Go for Read Dead.
    If you don't like the western theme, get an Elder Scrolls game; they walk all over this poor attempt anyday.

    It's a shame, because the witcher's world is interesting, the story isn't bad; but I can't bear to wade through all the crap for that.    … Expand

    the witcher 3 es un juego muy bueno independientemente del port, aqui no se califica el hecho de llevarlo a switch sino la experiencia de juego y como alguien como yo que ya lo jugo en consola en su tiempo esta es una version muy inferior asi que no la podria calificar igual que en pc ps4 o xbox one

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must admit that at the beginning I was unsure if to buy it for my Switch (taking in consideration that it was 60$ for a 2015 game) or for my PC (Just 15$ the complete edition). Finally, after a couple of hours of deliberation with myself and with my pocket, I decided to try it in my favorite console, The Switch, and believe me, I have NO regrets. This is without any doubts one of the best ports ever created for a console, absolutely wonderfull job from CD Projekt Red. Although its true that the graphicals are quite downgraded in comparison with the PC version, its still good enough for me, specially when you play en Hand held mode. If you haven´t tried the game before and you owns a Switch, have no doubts, this is a game that you must have!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seeing the evolution of the witcher games from the first one has been amazing. Now the 3rd games is one of the best games around. Very loyal to the story first established in the books. Fun game play. Big world to explore. Only problem I have is that Geralt isn't the exact same Geralt from the books, but that can brushed by saying his time away from the human world changed him.… Expand

    Really enjoyable experience. While the reduced graphics are rather jarring, especially in docked mode. It doesn't really take away from the overall experience. And while I love being able to take this game anywhere controlling the game with the joycon controllers is less than ideal.

    Truly a spectacular game. I have encountered a few bugs though, but nothing too terribly game-breaking. Obviously, the graphics are incredible, and to see the game getting the graphics update long after launch, is wonderful. While this work shouldn't necessarily warrant praise, given the current climate of the gaming industry, it is noteworthy. I am very happy with my purchase. One of theTruly a spectacular game.

    A great port, it reases maximum Switch technical specs. Very funny!!! Es increíble ver algo tan complejo en Nintendo Switch, funciona perfectamente. Se justifican sobradamente los recortes en resolución. Éstos no empañan el resultado final.

    I finally finish my first playthrough of this masterpiece. This was a journey that took me two months to complete. The game is vast and long. Probably a good and not so good thing. I love long and well developed stories but this one is a little bet longer IMO, probably due to the enormous amount of quests.

Like any game there are a couple of little things that could be better: for example, you get stuck in the environment sometimes ; have to save all the time; some enemies are way over leveled (necessary grind) ; very long loading times (40 seconds) ; if you fall you die. This are small gripes compare to the amazing experience I had. Just letting you know.

    Great port of a very good game.
    Very good side quests, lots of decisions here and there. The only problems are week character progression system and dull battle system. On normal difficulty the whole game is not forcing you out of your comfort zone of quick attack and dodge. So action part of the game became very boring by the end of the story.

    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

    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.

    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.
