The Witcher 3 Review - Switch 2 Gameplay

Switch 2 runs the unpatched Switch version at mostly solid 30 FPS, with sharper, brighter visuals from upgraded hardware and upscaling. Combat feels repetitive, while loading a previous save takes about 30 seconds after deaths; the game remains visually dated despite smoother performance. He considers it merely acceptable as a temporary fantasy RPG, but would not recommend buying it in 2025 over newer releases.

Portable hardware improves older games, but dated design and loading undermine the upgrade’s value.
