Periodically the digital version of this game goes on sale for 60% off, and here it is again until March 7. Check out this awesome RPG if you haven't already.
I played quite a bit of this on PS4 and it's a good game. On PS4, I believe it runs at 60 FPS with frequent dips during special attacks while Switch is locked at 30. It feels really smooth on PS4--I would be worried about the drop off on Switch.
Besides framerate, it is pretty unimpressive graphically. The gameplay and mechanics are pretty fun. There are some metroidvania aspects, which are cool. Over time, the battle system didn't evolve enough for my taste--always seemed pretty basic with dodges and counters. No real combos. I did like the small quests you do and the overall structure of the game.
Long story short, I got bored about halfway through and may never finish. I would buy physical so you can resell. However, that may not be an option for switch. I'm glad I bought PS4 physical.
Side note, Ys 9 is coming out this year to Switch. Reviews have been good for PS4 version.

$19.7X digital PS. Looks great but just have too much backlog! Ugh
