10 Nintendo Switch Ports That Aren't Worth Your Money

10. The Outer Worlds

It's all in the details these days, though many ports rely on shrinking both the resolution and overall texture quality in order to reasonably fit within the Switch's system requirements. Case in point, The Outer Worlds lost much of the beauty of its open world in the translation, with a ton of sacrifices made just to get it to work at all.

Rocks blur into the surroundings as the once vibrant environments seen on Xbox One, PS4 and PC become nothing more than a bland, almost PS2 era world by comparison. The cuts made are obvious and numerous, it's somewhat a miracle that the game can run at all and that itself must be applauded, but the losses along the way mute that achievement to no end.

Of course visual fidelity isn't the be all and end all, but much of what makes any open world game appealing is the exploration of strange lands and unusual places, something that's lost in translation here. There's still hope that a lot of the issues so far can be rectified with a future patch - remember the massive improvement made to The Witcher 3 for example - but for now it's recommended to explore the world of Halcyon elsewhere.
