Best graphics on Nintendo Switch: seven years of third-party developer brilliance


What are the best-looking games on Switch? We've already covered the best first-party Nintendo releases, so now it's time to look at the rest with John and Oli.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice took a rather unusual step by opting for pre-rendered cutscenes on Switch versus the in-engine examples used on other platforms, a decision that makes sense given the heavy (and typically expensive) post processing the game is known for. Motion blur and some other post processing effects are sacrificed, which is a shame, but the game's much larger combat arenas and intense asset variety make the jump intact to the Nintendo handheld. All three games in the series run well on Switch though, and while Crysis 3 doesn't see as much of an uplift versus the console originals thanks to a higher level of baseline fidelity, the TAA is still improved and performance is better across the board.
