    I 100%ed the game and as I was reading your review I was like “Wait, something’s off… this isn’t the game I played on PS5…”

    Then I saw:

    “A huge caveat: I purchased this through the switch store, and it should have absolutely not had a switch release!”

    Oh… yeah… Oh no. Now it makes sense. Yeah, the game was never intended for the Switch and compromises were made.

      The first 4k video of gameplay I saw blew my mind lol. You can actually see depth and aren’t confused squinting at a low res model trying to figure out what you’re looking at from a small distance. I was shocked when we first played BOTW and it’s problems running properly (lots of lag for a game made for the system), this title made me realize the switch is just dead to me now.

      Yeah, I was about to say the game was surprisingly great. Seeing the op played it on the switch, I can understand the subpar experience.

    I played on PC, and had a great time. Like the other person said, it wasn’t intended for such a casual machine.

    I really liked the interactive items, even though they were useless. It was fun to try roleplaying as a student sometimes. I didn’t find the enemies to be too clustered either. My personal favorite thing was flying around on the broom. The game world is pretty big so you have plenty of room to just do your thing.
