Now that The Witcher 3 is on Switch, there's no reason that every other game in existence isn't. I love The Witcher 3 and on Switch, I love it even more.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition on the Nintendo Switch is a great technical achievement through the stable framerate and the immense content it comes with. Only the not constant resolution of 720p and the reduced graphics make it hard to recommend for people that use the Switch in docked Mode on the TV. Everyone else can definitely go for it!

What CD Projekt Red and Saber Interactive have done to make the Nintendo Switch version possible is a stunning achievement in its own right.

I have adored my time with Witcher 3 on Switch. It’s not the prettiest version, but it retains everything that made the game special. Now there is potential for a whole new audience to fall in love with the franchise. Perhaps some are like me, replaying the game for the third time, and just loving that the game is now portable. Whatever the reason may be, Witcher 3 on Switch is a technical achievement. I’d have never expected Witcher 3 ported to the Switch, but here we are and it’s damn impressive.

Long-time Witcher fans will have a blast reliving their adventures on the go, while those who have yet to step into the hunting boots, luscious locks and scruffed beard of Geralt of Rivia, have the perfect opportunity to get stuck in.

If you own Nintendo Switch, you have successfully avoided The Witcher 3 until now and you're looking for a dense RPG, this Complete Edition is a game for you. However, if you have a chance to play it anywhere else, you'll enjoy it more.

Witcher 3 is undoubtedly a masterpiece that you must experience. The Switch port is serviceable as far as portable mode is concerned, but you should avoid the docked mode if your playing on a big TV.

It is witchcraft, being able to take one of the best open-world RPGs of the generation anywhere can not be qualified otherwise. The technical sacrifice has been important, but performance and quality have been perfectly prioritized at the right times, making this edition perfect for those who do not have another machine than the Nintendo hybrid console or for those who want to play the adventures of Geralt of Rivia anywhere.

An intelligent port that shrinks one of the best RPGs of recent years without losing the scale and magic.

The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch is probably the best port ever made. It's amazing to see that a great game like The Witcher 3 runs well on a handheld.

Whether Witcher 3 will be your entry point into the larger Witcher universe or you're a longtime fan, I cannot recommend it enough. It is a game that to some extent transcends its genre and one that everyone should play. Witcher 3 is not only one of the most impressive of the impossible ports on Switch, it is one of the best games on Switch, and perhaps the finest western RPG of all time.

It is a truly impressive technical feat that a developer was able to get The Witcher 3 onto the Nintendo Switch in a working state at all. That doesn't necessarily mean that the port should have happened though.

The Witcher 3 on Switch is clearly the least visually impressive version of a great game, but it's one of the greatest RPGs ever, now made portable, and that's just too cool to miss.

The reduced visual quality doesn't stop The Witcher 3 on Switch from being an astonishing technical marvel from Saber Interactive. It remains one of the finest open-world games of this generation, especially if you favour rich storytelling over systems and mechanics, which you can now take with you.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition is a fantastic game in its own right. A blockbuster adventure spanning up to 100 hours; an encyclopaedia-like, lore-filled world to explore

In the end, it's a testament to the art direction and captivating gameplay that the Switch port of The Witcher 3, stripped of most of its technical achievements, is still a damn good and immersive video game. If you haven't played The Witcher 3 yet, this is a good opportunity to jump in. The game runs better and is available at a more affordable price on the other platforms, but if you can live with the heavy visual downgrades for the sake of portability, then this is as good as The Witcher 3 gets.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Complete Edition isn’t quite perfect: it suffers from somewhat muddied visuals and slightly unresponsive controls at times, but they still don’t totally detract from what is one of the most engaging, entertaining, and fun games I’ve played in a long time.

Its amazing what has been done with this portable Witcher 3 port. Yes the graphics are downgraded, yes it does not look as good as other versions but it is a well running portable version of a great RPG. You get a lot of game for your money and it is well worth your time and effort.

The Witcher 3: Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch may not look as good as its PS4, X1 and PC counterpart, but it's still a blast to play and one of the best rpg of this generation.

The Witcher 3 on the Switch is, miraculously enough, a decent-looking, well-performing, portable version of one of the greatest games of all time.
