We all received our first look at The Witcher 3 on the Nintendo Switch during the Gamescom stream and it looks like it’s set to be a great port.
Tech enthusiasts Digital Foundry have had a chance to go hands-on with the game and they’ve come away with the verdict that it’s an excellent port from their short time spent with the game.
This is without the visual compromise, which was inevitable.
We finally had a try of CD Projekt Red’s seminal fantasy RPG, for the first time playable on a handheld. Tom and Rich pick apart what’s one of the most daring conversions to Switch so far – the cutbacks are clear, but just how does it play in practise?
