This is a great game, absolutely fabulous and worthy of any collection. The Switch should be the ultimate platform as it feels great when playing in handheld. But IMO there are two points that bar the game from the perfect score:
1. Some story-driven dialogues can’t be forwarded and take too long. They can be skipped completely, but the fixed pace is very slow.
2. The audio is sadly too compressed. The soundtrack is stunning but if you have a decent stereo setup or high-quality headphones, the artifacts from the encoded and compressed audio are far too audible to ignore. This is such a bummer that I would recommend the PS3 version over this one.
I want! Don't know why I never thought of getting this on Switch.
I bought this recently, and found it unplayable due to the motion blur. The motion blur can be lowered but not turned off. Avoid if you are sensitive to or dislike out-of-focus images. Give the issue a google if you are doubtful.
