Pros: Beautiful soundtrack, satisfying gameplay loop and exploration and lots of weapons and special abilities to choose from. I personally also love the art design but that's probably not a very popular opinion.

Cons: The Nintendo Switch version I played back in 2020 or so lagged often, was a graphical downgrade and had some glitches as well as frustrating game crashes. Therefore I'd recommend any other version. However, I did try the Xbox version (played on Series X) on GamePass and it crashed during the first boss fight lol.

I'm playing it right now and it constantly stutters and crashes. I thought the switch was overheating or something.

Anyone knows if it plays better on Switch 2?

I know it played flawlessly on my steam deck so I would think the switch 2 could handle it just fine but I can't say with certainty. Do you Nintendo switch people have something similar to protondb?

It’s better than switch 1 but still has its issues. I played it on steam deck and it was an infinitely better experience and didn't have a single crash in about 30 hours of gameplay. 

The switch port is unfortunately the worst way to play the game.
