Some people in the review section have been complaining that they got the censored Middle East versions, but luckily I got the original uncensored version. The seller was PREPAIDGAMERCARDcom. Unlike the other first party switch games, this one came in a thicker box and aside from the game cartridge it also contained a game manual explaining some of the in-game universe and main characters, a physical map of the in-game universe and a couple of stickers. Happy to see that CD PROJEKT RED went the extra mile and included all these goodies.
For the game itself, I have only played about 40 hours so far, but it has been pretty good. Many of the characters are very well-developed and believable and many of the quests are excellent. The side quests especially are leagues better than most other open world games and some of them are really immersive.
As for the main quest, you basically have to track down a person by going to all the areas your target went through and convincing various people to divulge information about her by completing quests for them. This itself isn't very interesting but the quests your informants ask you to do are usually of a pretty high standard and often really meaningful (I especially liked the Bloody Baron quest).So the main quest itself is pretty good, although it is actually the quests of your informants that are usually the good ones.
With the newest updates (v3.4 at the time of this review) resolution and performance has been improved and the game generally looks decent enough although a handful of areas (some of the swamp/marshy areas)seem like they could really use some anti-aliasing. I don't know the exact resolution the game runs at, but it doesn't seem very blurry to me. Note that I exclusively play in PORTABLE mode only. Performance is very good and even in the most demanding areas like Novigrad city it usually holds up very well. It stutters rather occasionally only when you move quickly across vast stretches of densely filled areas, possibly because of all the loading and unloading going on. Now obviously it doesn't compare to the PS4 versions, but it does make a comfortable portable experience due to its decent graphics and good performance. The game is generally free of bugs and crashes and throughout my 40+ hours of playtime, it has only frozen once and crashed once.
I believe I have covered almost everything you might need to know before buying the game, so if you like action-adventure RPG games and like to play portably you should give this a try. One thing to note though is that though you do not need any knowledge of the universe or previous games to get into this, having a good understanding of the Witcher universe (from books or the Witcher fandom website) will certainly provide a much more fulfilling experience as you will be able to understand the universe and many of the important characters, their motives and their relation with Geralt much better. I will hopefully update this review once I have finished the game.
