![]() ![]() The gameplay is generally really solid for a start, with fun combat even though it’s certainly not fluid. But performance issues including dropped frames, pop-in, and constant slowdown make it hard to recommend the Switch version. At first glance, the game doesn’t appear to be anywhere near as mechanically demanding as something like Breath of The Wild which is practically a physics simulator disguised as an open world game. Even on the PS5, visuals sport a nice looking sort of cel shaded anime type look, and have about as much visual complexity as one of the Tales games from the PS3 generation. Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is not the type of game you’d expect to be able to push the Switch beyond its limits. Add the announcement of the Steam Deck on top of all that and 2021 really has been a year full of concern for the future of Nintendo’s aging console. However, there is a massive disparity in terms of capabilities between it and the Xbox One or PS4 that has only grown worse with the introduction of the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X consoles. Between first party efforts like Breath of the Wild or Luigi’s Mansion 3 and third party games like Monster Hunter Rise and Fast RMX, it’s clear that the Switch is quite an impressive little machine in terms of power.
