Always wanted to try out Skyrim but never had a PC up to the task. Is it any good on Switch? Is $30 a good price? Worth an additional $5 for the Anniversary edition? I could do my own research, but Slickdeals participants always seem to have the most representative opinions.

I personally felt that Skyrim was not enjoyable on the Switch or PC. The game feels 15 years old and even at release (gameplay wise) was probably showing it's age back that.
Now, world building, story, content, etc it cannot be beat. But the actual gameplay & combat felt like a PS1 - PS2 level jank. Honestly as much money as they have made from rereleases I cannot believe Bethesda has not released a (optional) gameplay revamp or add major quality of life improvements like the Witcher 3 group did. All the work is there already on the PC in form of mods. Just bundle that together like W3 or I believe Bethesda is currently doing with Fallout 4. I'd rather a modern playing game over paying for lipstick on a big graphics improvements.*
I've never played the Anniversary edition but I think all of the improvements are to visuals. If you were playing in handheld mode it might not even be noticeable (might be...who knows).
*Clearly I am in the minority in this opinion based on reviews and fanbase.
Good suggestion, thanks. Apparently the motion controls on the Switch make for a unique experience. I found a post from only three months ago where people are agreeing that it's quite playable on the switch, and some even prefer the Switch's graphics.

This is the kind of feedback I was looking for, thanks.

By all accounts, Skyrim works fine on Switch, the main drawback vs PC is that there are no mods, and loading times are probably a bit longer.

I felt the same way. The actual fighting in Skyrim just wasn't fun. The irony is that I think Starfield is exactly the opposite, with great shooting game play, but a fairly boring world and characters.

It's excellent on switch, the graphics are decent not mind blowing. It's an old game so wherever you play it's not going to look good, that's just the nature of a 12 year old game. Portably it's great but the price is VERY high. On Xbox ps and pc it's around 10-15$ where was switch is 30$ which for an 12 year old game is insane. If you have another platform to play get it on that. If you only play Skyrim then maybe it's worth it, or if you only have a switch then get.

$30 is a solid price for it on Switch, it's only been cheaper than that once: https://www.dekudeals.c
No opinion on the Anniversary edition
