The Witcher 3 on Switch is a good port or not ?

Obviously opinions are going to vary quite a bit on a subject like this. I think as long as graphics don't detract from the gameplay it's fine. Personally, i thought the original looked kinda crappy(exception being some of the bosses. Some of those were GREAT!). But i feel like i have some bias because i felt the controls didn't feel smooth during combat. I feel like if it doesn't feel smooth, my brain interprets the animations as wrong. Without actually playing the switch version though i think the visuals are fine (except for geralt's glitchy shadow sometimes). Definitely inferior to the console only versions, but i don't think it detracts from the gameplay from what i've seen. Again i do have a little bias though. I also think art style will always trump graphical fidelity. For example i think darksiders on the 360 or even windwaker on the gamecube looks better than any of the witcher games, but that's because of the art design choices and not the fps or resolution . That's just me though. I'm a big fan of open world action/adventure games like shadow of mordor/war & zelda botw so i may give this another shot next year after i get through luigi's mansion and darksiders 2 this year. Can't wait for biomutant next year too. Quick side note in case anyone's curious why i only play these games on switch. I just don't have the same amount of time to game as i used to. The switch is portable enough that i can hook it up to a monitor in my office at work. I play for like hours every friday. Might try to find the space for my ps4 at some point though. I've had horizon 0 dawn since launch and haven't touched it :(
