John Linneman from Digital Foundry, renowned for his detailed performance analyses, praised the port as one of the most impressive demonstrations of the Switch 2’s capabilities to date. He remarked, “I’m gonna say right now, this is the best-looking thing I’ve seen on Switch 2. Seeing that game running at a stable 30fps, with that excellent motion blur especially, it looked fantastic.
