Sounds like a lot of people find it to be a buggy port. For this price at a historic low, I'd say sure maybe go for it. But if you're on the fence, seems like a no to me.
It's a fantastically beautiful game with a great idea, mechanic, and even fun story. On Steam, flawless. PS5? Amazing. Switch? Buggier than a week dead skunk in the gutter.
Even the devs admit the Switch port was bad. They gave up on it long ago. If you are extremely lucky, you can complete the first mission, although you will be reloading saves often, as it thankfully has an autosave feature that you can use.
For mission two, I had to restore minimally once a minute. Oh, and the game doesn't overwrite saves, so while you're restoring you have to go into the menu and delete an old save so the game has room to save.
And, just to add a bit more fuel to the fire, there's DLC for Switch that is just a mockery. It's 5 skins for your offhand item for $10. Assuming you play the game any length of time, you almost certainly won't have or need an offhand item, so the skin is wasted. BTW, PS5 and Steam got dozens of skins (of characters, items, and effects) for $2. So...Switch tax or just digital middle finger?
I really really really really liked this game and am super curious if it perhaps runs better on S2. I don't have an S2 yet, so can't test. But for normal Switch? Just don't. It's cheaper on Steam anyway and waaaaaaaaaay better.
I really enjoyed this game.. At first. The problem I had was that at some point, the difficulty just ramps up incredibly and I kind of got stuck. I was really sad at that point, because I felt like I really knew these characters, and I'd shared so many experiences with them, and made choices that affected their lives. It was probably just something I didn't understand about how it worked, so just be aware that the difficulty ramps.
