The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition (Switch) Reviews
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.

Despite a few visual downgrades, the Nintendo Switch port of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may be the best version of the critically-acclaimed RPG to date.
The mature content and somber approach of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition may put off some gamers, but it's a can't-miss game for those seeking an RPG with more bite and consequence (not to mention playable characters above the age of 15) than we normally get on Nintendo systems.
The Witcher 3 today is just as much a master class in game and story design as it was four years ago. Feral Interactive did an impressive job porting this gigantic RPG to Switch.
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.
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 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.

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
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.

The Witcher 3 for Switch is a marvellous port that makes some smart sacrifices to graphics and performance to translate a fantastic game in a downgraded but highly playable action-RPG
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition on the Nintendo Switch, something which not long ago seemed nearly impossible is here and it does a top-notch job at adapting this colossal effort into a handheld format. With its gargantuan adventure and multiple branches that the plot takes, The Witcher on the Nintendo Switch might have made some concessions when it comes to the graphical performance but this experience is nothing short of an amazing adventure.

Should you play The Witcher 3? Absolutely. It’s one of a handful of games from the past decade that you simply can’t miss. Should you play The Witcher 3 on the Switch? Honestly, probably not.
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 killer addition to the Nintendo Switch library.
The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is a fantastic addition to the Switch RPG line-up. It's visual may have been scaled down but it's no less fantastic of a game.
In the end, it all boils down to the player. If you are looking for a great RPG to sink your teeth into, The Witcher 3 is an automatic recommend. What is not an automatic recommend is if you already own an Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or a PC that can run games well.
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.
Although The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Nintendo Switch doesn't look as pretty as its counterparts, it's still an adventure that should not be missed.
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.
The Witcher 3 for Nintendo Switch turns out to be another incarnation of the franchise ready to kidnap you without making you understand how, where and when. A game that knows how to excite and fascinate its players.
