I've spent enough hours of my life on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but its Nintendo Switch debut may mean I have to get it back and get back to the mainland.
After 92 hours of monster hunting, romance, and gaming with Gwent, I don't need to go back to this game just a few years after finishing it, but there is one main reason you can buy it again, that's the DLC.
I've had the opportunity to play for about an hour on the Nintendo Switch game port and this brief explosion of the world of The Witcher has encouraged me to replay through both Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.
Both DLC packs are waiting at home on my PlayStation 4, hence after reinstalling the 50GB + game, as I had previously purchased.

I liked the ending of the main story and something about how much time I had spent in this world meant that I was not desperate to take control and dive in. these DLC stories, even if they were ready and waiting.
How Long To Beat, a game aggregation website that estimates the length of games, indicates that Hearts of Stone lasts between 10 and 19 hours, while Blood and Wine takes between 15 and 40 hours, depending on your wishes.
It's another big business unto itself, so perhaps the Switch is the way you finally find the motivation to do it. I travel over an hour a day and the thought of finally being able to immerse myself in those gigantic DLCs for longer than the average console games is exciting.
So far my testing has shown that The Witcher 3 on Switch has always been a fantastic experience.

It works fine, although these load times are obviously long, but I found that its appearance was graphically similar to the original game despite its lower resolution.
This should be much better on your TV, even if it is only 720p because it runs at 540p in portable mode.
It's still beautiful in this style of play, but obviously this isn't the best way to play The Witcher 3. If you want it, you want it on a high-end PC, but the compromise in terms of power be ready to go.
If you've never immersed yourself in The Witcher 3, or want a new way to play one of the most voluminous and extensive video games of recent times, there is none. He probably has no better way of doing it than doing it in the back of a bus with Rock in your hands.
So far, I've only had a chance to play the game while it's undocked, so I can't wait to see how it performs on TV. But if this port is exciting, it is because you can present this adventure to the world for the first time.
Has come and Gwent
The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch is also the complete package. Everything is waiting in the 32GB cartridge, and that includes the additional DLCs I mentioned, as well as all the other free updates provided for the game after launch.
If you want to benefit from a complete experience from the beginning, you may finally be able to get it. CD Project Red hasn't forgotten any quests, story elements, or Gwent to make it work.
Despite all that I have loved, I do not intend to take on Geralt's main adventure, but I finally believe that I am ready for the last chapter that I have managed to avoid for so long.
