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]

Un de mes jeux d’enfance mais il n’est pas exempt de défauts malheureusement, notamment sur console

Geralmente esses jogos estilo "souls like" acabam pecando quando o assunto é curva de aprendizagem. A progressão de dificuldade é muito mal feita, e você acaba tendo que morrer várias e várias vezes até conseguir acertar, e esse jogo não é diferente. Você simplesmente passa a primeira meia hora de jogo andando de carroça e ouvindo o diálogo de NPCs. Aí do nada aparece um dragão cuspindo fogo, e o jogo simplesmente quer que você adivinhe o que fazer.

The fact that a game stuffed with hundreds of hours of content runs so well on a mobile video game console is nothing short of amazing. On its own, Skyrim is a phenomenal game and now I don’t have to be stuck on the couch or on my computer. I can play it wherever and whenever I want. What a time to be alive.

While in some aspects the Switch version shows its age with dated graphics and stiff animations, it’s so easy to look past when there’s a vast world in your view with the sense of discovery around every corner.

It’s one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. It’s huge, with thousands of things to do, and it never feels empty. The story is deep, very well written, and the voice acting is excellent. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing, one of the best in the history of video games. The character-building options are outstanding: race, weapons, magic, skills, clothing, and more. And all of it evolves dynamically as you play, meaning no two playthroughs are the same and you can create completely different characters with total freedom, without predefined **** level scaling is a bit uneven in some areas, especially open ones, while in dungeons it remains solid. There are hundreds of side quests. Some of them have so much content and story that they even surpass the main plot, while others are quite short and repetitive.

A great addition that makes sense mostly if you plan to play on the go. If you think you'll play Skyrim mostly at home get it for a different platform.

Overall, I’m more than impressed with Iron Galaxy and Bethesda’s work on Skyrim for Switch. If you’ve never played Skyrim before, now is a great time to get into it. Skyrim on Switch is the only version that you can take to Starbucks for an Americano to the knee and it is quite an accomplishment.

This is an old game on a new system; I can't recommend it at full price even with the DLC. Besides, the best way to play is still on PC with mods. Even with the bonus of on-the-go, I can't go back to a modless version now. Oh, and the combat is still incredibly cumbersome, even more dated than the graphics...I give the game a Hold.

It's Skyrim...for Nintendo Switch. Are there some additions? Sure, but nothing that changes that core experience. And that core experience is what you're getting, but with the ability to take it wherever, whenever. If that is worth $60 to you then this is a must-buy.

The magic that is Skyrim is definitely still there after all these years. However, the bugs, old animations and repetitive quests are showing even more than before. There is still a beautiful world out there though, that is ready to be explored.

If it wasn't for the bugs, this would be pretty good. I'm not much of an open world guy, but I'm trying to be fair to this game while setting my personal preferences aside.

Horrible gyro. I mean THE worst I've ever felt. So incredibly sluggish with it maxed out. Crashes. And just bot as good as one remembers it through rose tinted glasses. Not even worth the $20, to help with 10 more for "upgrades" that arent there on the Switch version.
SummarySkyrim Special Edition brings the epic fantasy to life in detail. The Special Edition includes the game and add-ons with all-new features like remastered art and effects, volumetric god rays, dynamic depth of field, screen-space reflections, and more.
