I've played this for both Series X and currently on Switch. I believe there are just alot of people that like to speculate that it was bad on switch because of graphics and loading times, without actually playing the game.

The game itself plays the same, it's relatively smooth but has small jitter when riding the broom in open world, but to me, it really does bother me a whole lot. The graphics is where alot of meat was sacrificed, however for being on the Switch, I think it still looks halfway decent coming from a powerhouse of a game. Honorable mentions would be hair and face details. The loading screens that people talk about really aren't that long. From open world to a shop is maybe 10 seconds and switch from Hogwarts to Hogsmead is maybe about 20-25. You won't be doing it often enough to really care, at least I don't.

I thinks its a fantastic port on the switch. It definitely has sacrifices, but is not at all unplayable. At this price, it's a MUST buy for me. However, I missed this sale and paid $20 for mine.

It's a perfectly good game... on PS5. Seriously the Switch is the absolute worst way to play this game.

If you can game on a PC or a different console, and you're a fan of Harry Potter, I recommend it. The visuals of the castle are excellent, and it's worth it for that alone.

The Switch version has long load screens between each environment and of course much less visual flair. Seriously don't buy this version unless the Switch is your ONLY way to play games. Maybe if they update it for the Switch 2 next year to be in par with other consoles.

Considering how quickly and how low the price has dropped, this must not be very good games.
I thought people really liked it. Personally I'm not a fan but overall I thought it was well received. It is also WB games which is known for high discounts to get sakes.

Is this ok for a 10 year old. My daughter has watched all the movies except the last 2, which she will eventually but she has asked for this game and I wasn't sure if she was old enough to play it.

It's missing a significant chunk of the game as well. See switch ups review
I watched switchup YouTube review, they only mentioned visual quality issues? I didn't see anything about specific segments of the game missing that are in other versions?

I went back and rewatched just now (it's been a while) and I must have remembered incorrectly as the only huge caveat he mentioned was the loading screens/time between areas making it distinctly not as open world as the other versions. I could be thinking of another game to. You are correct.

It's actually a really good story driven RPG. Playing it on the Switch seems like a poor way to play it though since it's a beautiful game and the graphics would suffer.

I've been playing the game (on PC) with my 11 year old daughter. I think the content is fine for a 10 year old. Fighting is mostly against monsters (spiders) and magical creatures. There are people enemies, but the fights against them aren't very graphic because you're casting spells mostly. The complexity of the game play and challenges could be handled by a 10 year old who's experienced a lot of video games. But, be aware, the ESRB rating is 'T'.
I bought the game on PC a few months ago for about $20. We're getting a switch for XMas so I'm tempted to get this deal just to have it on there as extra content. Although I expect the other games we're getting will get a lot more play.

The game is great, but the Switch version is just a massive downgrade.
