Hogwarts Legacy on Switch 2 | Impressive Performance with Mixed Reactions

The recent launch of Hogwarts Legacy on Switch 2 has sparked debate among gamers about its performance. While many gamers are impressed with how the handheld runs the game, others are vocal about the game's compromises.

Performance Meets Expectations

Players are sharing their experiences across various forums. Many transitioning from high-end PCs appreciate the Switch 2's ability to handle the game. One player stated, "Looks and plays way better than on Steam Deck". Compliments aside, some still point out issues. Critiques include fuzzy visuals, particularly with character models and shadows. One user commented, "The loading screens only appear in the castle or hunts, which is pretty solid for a handheld."

Curiously, some players noticed a greenish tint and overly saturated grass colors in certain scenes, hinting at potential issues in color grading and correction. This has led to some light-hearted nitpicking among players enjoying their time with the game.
