While the text can be a bit small and the loading times stretch on long enough to be a drag from time to time, playing the game away from your television or PC is enough of a feature that you’ll be able to overlook the compromises. While the game’s visuals had to be hacked down a bit from the newer versions to fit on Nintendo’s somewhat underpowered console, the tradeoff is that you can play Skyrim in your bed, on the subway, in the bathroom or everything in between.
So how does the Nintendo Switch port stack up to the long, varied history of Skyrim? Very well, it turns out. Skyrim has been released a fair number of times, and there’s even a VR version of the title for those of you who wanted to get literally lost inside the game. You might have played the original console release, or the more recent remastered version of the game on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. You might have played the PC version, with or without mods. We all have a different mental idea of how The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim should look.
