Being a sneaky archer, with eyes as black as ol’ Jaws in Jaws, it pains me to have to use a torch just to see what I could normally see on the TV screen or playing indoors.The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Official Game Guide Collector's Edition Even playing in decent lighting conditions. Some of the caves in Skyrim get very dark making things hard to see. One omission from the Switch version that is fairly important though, especially for those of us who travel to and from places via public transport, is a brightness slider.

Texture quality too doesn’t seem to be far off the PS4 and Xbox One versions, but there is a reduction in the density of grass and other foliage. It also runs at a Rocky (solid) Balboa 30fps, and best of all the load times are some of the fastest we’ve seen for Skyrim on a console. The Switch is more than capable of handling this shader.Ĭompared to the other recent Bethesda release for the Switch, the all-mighty DOOM, the frame-buffer here is much closer to the native screen resolution of 720p.

Hopefully, Bethesda will hear this outcry and patch in this effect. Or, climbing a snowy mountain in your tank top just like Gabe Walker and having that sparkle keep you warm like that sweater he finds conveniently at a random point on an ice mountain. The feeling of traveling through the mountainous regions of Skyrim and watching the freshly fallen snow reflect the light was one of those little touches that meant walking everywhere on foot was worth it. But to me, the most egregious offence is the removal of the sparkly snow shader! Yeah, we’re talking time to start an online petition or write a stern letter levels of egregious. Which means compared to the PS4 and Xbox One versions, there is a noticeable visual downgrade. Things that are absent are screen space reflections, volumetric crepuscular rays (aka God Rays) and depth of field effects. In terms of presentation, there are some graphics features missing from the Switch release. It’s quite fun to use the Switch’s HD rumble to ‘feel’ the tumblers, even though it makes the process a bit easier overall. And if you’ve ever played Skyrim you’ll know that this isn’t just a small part of the game – picking locks be everyone’s subclass in the world of old scrolls.

As does the little things, like watching people go about their day in Whiterun or talk about certain battle-related leg injuries. The sheer size and scope of the world and the experience still impresses after all these years. Especially when I decided to mix it up and forego my usual wizard of wizardry awesomeness and finally experience Skyrim as a different class.Īn archer with pitch black eyes, soulless in every way.Īs far as the game goes this is Skyrim as you remember it, or forgotten because it’s been a while. Anyway, after not playing the game for many years, and foregoing the Special Edition release last year in lieu of the Switch version – playing it again after all this time feels fresh. Or at least until this train finally makes it to my stop. And it's something that I don’t intend to put down any time soon. So far, I’ve put at least 20 hours into the Switch version and mostly in handheld mode.
