Long answer:
It's good as far as the Switch can go. It's 30 fps 720p with much lower texture quality than the base PS4. With that said, it's actually amazing they could make this game work on the Switch. If you travel and play on the go a lot, this is a great option. Also good if you have been accustomed to 30fps for fast movement games.
Playing on the PS5 will simply be a whole lot better, with stable 60fps and upscaled 4k (with base resolution never lower than 1080p), and high environment texture quality so the game doesn't look like crap. If you care about graphics experience and you play at home, get this.
I played this game on Xbox first and finished it. I bought the Switch version during the time I flew for work a lot. Playing on the plane was nice; I enjoyed it. I ended up getting a Steam Deck a couple months after and bought this game on Stream. Never played the Switch version again.
