    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.
    Don't hesitate, play this absolute masterpiece!

    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.
    My I will post my witcher 3 review on the ps4 version of the game.    … Expand

    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.
    Visuals are incredible : The worlds are detailed and beautifully presented. The story is deep. Love everything about the game. Highly recommended.    … Expand

    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 :(

    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 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.

    you support the developer in difficult times for them by buying the game, despite all the mistakes of the game to this day and the poor loading of locations, but they decide to turn away from you and side with neo-Nazism and Maidan, goodbye CD PROJEKT

    This game and Red dead 2 are the two worst games I’ve ever played, bad gameplay, cliche and boring narrative and out dated graphics.

    Truly a spectacular game. I have encountered a few bugs though, but nothing too terribly game-breaking.

    Rich, serious and dark fantasy with huge world to explore and well furnished Characters to interact...
    I am one of lovers of Witcher books, I played Witcher 1 which was a good game, Witcher 2 which was a better game but Witcher 3 was in a completely different league! Playing this game was one of my best experiences as an old gamer...

    Graphics and performance are shocking. I'm amazed that Nintendo fanboys hold this up as an example of the Switch's power. The Outer Worlds looks like garbage too. The Switch needs to stick to it's strength, which is 2D indie games.

    No doubt best game ever played... It is impossible to get bored... The world is big beautiful and full of things and side quests, each with a memorable story and different things to do... Beautiful combat system great main story... Great design and characterisation of each character... Don't know how to do better

    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.

I've heard people say the story is really good but from the 5 hours I played all I saw was a "gritty and dark" fantasy setting that 15-year old me might have found interesting but I couldn't care less about. Another major flaw is that while side missions will have a lot of thought put into the backstory, most of them require you to follow a map marker for a while, then follow a glowing scent trail for a while and then grab a mcguffin or kill some monsters. At no point did I really have to engage my brain to figure anything out for myself.

    Get it if you like story-heavy games I guess but I think this should have been a book or movie rather than a game.    … Expand

    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

    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.
