Great gameplay, great graphics, great storyline. Even on a handheld device Skyrim maintains its immersive nature.
Lykarock –

Best game now on the switch! It looks so much better now.
Vikingfanaz –
I’ve bought this for Xbox, PS4, and now the switch.
AdventureAwaits –
This expansive game layout is a great game for those wishing to determine their own path.
DOTBB –
What can I say? It’s Skyrim (non-SE) on the switch. Literally. Sadly, it doesn’t have support for mods, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
Puma –
Looks and plays almost as well on the switch as it does on a high end PC.
Shajj –
Great game. Very good service from Bestbuy as usual.
JEstrada –
Great game but lacks in picture quality because of nintendo switch. Graphics look like from 10 years ago
Hyponym –
Amazing game on every other platform, and plays great on the Switch.
GEMs –
Fun open world game. Easy to play and I’m not a gamer. But I do enjoy playing this game
Rax1 –
Excellent game. Plays really well in portable and docked both. This is the special edition with expansion packs.
ACasualGamer –
A lot of contents here. The whole gameplay could be endless depending your pace. It’s probably one of the best medieval games available on Switch beside Witcher 3.
Sims –
Great game, this will get ported to literally anything and everything, and it’s still such a classic!
Asjata –
Always a great game, no matter the platform. It is dissapointing, however, that the Switch port can’t be upgraded to the newest edition with the CC content. It’s good to see the Hearthfire DLC, though. Recommended for portablilty and nostalgia only; if you want the complete experience, stick with the other ports.

Hours of gameplay and very addicting! I am absolutely obsessed.
Mremt –
New favorite game. Little tuff to play it on the switch but it works.

I’ve played Skyrim since it was released 10+ years ago. So glad it’s now available for Switch. Of course, the graphics aren’t as high quality as the PC version and you can’t run mods. But if you’re just looking for the core game (which is fantastic and a must-play), this delivers.
Tempest1972 –
Excellent gameplay… open world adventure with lots of quests
Grantaon –
Gotta have this if your a fan. It’s elder scrolls and mobile.
Olivia –
I used to play this on Xbox and now I have a switch. I haven’t even downloaded any other games because I’ve been playing this so much.
Pepe –
great game that challenges you with long hours of enjoyment!
John –
A pretty good port. I’ve definitely seen better but for the switch it’s not bad at all.
Josieeeroseee –
Great game. Hard to believe they make it look good on a small screen but they sure did
Unknown –
Great game, never any regrets here, skyrim is the best!
LCD1 –
enjoying this game, play against my nephews all the time
JustJoe –
Great game to immerse yourself in if you have to hang out with a bunch of boring people.
Scott –
If you like open world games with plenty of content and quests, this is a great choice.
JayRey –
Great game and great graphics for a handheld. Would recommend
Levi –
Great game. I’m glad they made it for the Nintendo switch
BestBuyFan –
This is a cool game! I enjoy playing it all the time.
Douche –
It’s Skyrim but you get to use links sword and shield
BrianM –
Even after more than 10 years, it’s still the same Skyrim, just on a unique platform. Very good.
Unknown –
played the heck out of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brandon –
Despite not being as graphically impressive as it is on other systems, it is really nice to have this game on the Switch. The Zelda gear is also a really cool bonus!
RyanA –
Skyrim looks really good on nintendo switch oled if you make a good game like skyrim you dont need great graphics.
Molly –
I enjoy the game but it is super glitchy. It’s frustrating to start a quest and not be able to finish it.
Freddiepr –
Nice game, impressive graphics. Got it for my daughter as a Christmas gift.
TJguy –
Great game… Good port.. Never on sale…. It’s outrageous this never gets a reduction in price. Luckily I can play Skyrim on Steamdeck now with the game I originally bought back in 2011… No need to pay $60 for this version.

I have somewhere around 40hrs in this game and I quite like it. It’s not my usual cup of tea, but I have fun being a menace in the simulated society.
My dad however, is a completely different kind of player. He was curious about it one night when he saw me playing for a bit. I set him up on my guest account creating a character and I basically lost my Switch for an entire month after that!!
So, I bought him this physical copy and we transferred his save data over (fairly easy process btw, thanks Nintendo). He’s now somewhere in the 50s with his orc werewolf and has nearly completed the entire map!
He’s an OG WOW player from back in the day, so I’m not surprised about his ability to grind and the bizarre little exploits he’s managed to find embedded within the game.
If you haven’t played Skyrim yet though, it’s a real treat. Something special for sure.

Purchased as a gift for someone. Still logs in a few hours to this day.
Shellbell2453 –
I got this as a gift. My son-in-law was really happy.
JesseJ –
The greatest game ever made. I have bought this game on every platform, and I have yet to be disappointed. A necessary addition to the switch collection.
Pizz –
Awesome game and awesome that I can play it on my handheld Switch.
SupernovaSly –
Exactly as expected. Pocket Skyrim! Dragonslay all day.
oscar –
Honestly it feels really good playing this on handheld. you can also take off the controllers and swing as you wish to attack and defend. im sure there are other gestures. its a little slow, compared to what you expect new consoles to be, but its doable. even if its for nostalgia, you need to get this game.
OliverA –
it might be 10 years old but this game still rocks!
MichelleN –
Skyrim is a wonderful game and I highly recommend the new downloadable content! It changes up the game wonderfully and adds new quests and items.

Bought it as a Christmas gift but it arrived pretty fast, packaged well, and exactly as prescribed.
