Doom maintains all its essence on the Nintendo Switch despite the obvious sacrifices

Doom is one of the best video games that we can find among the catalog of PC, PS4 and Xbox One, in addition now Nintendo Switch users can also enjoy this masterpiece with all the added possibilities of the Nintendo console.

Doom offers a great unique experience on the Nintendo Switch

The version of Doom for the Nintendo Switch has been widely criticized, something that comes from an unfair comparison with the versions of PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The visual quality of the Nintendo Switch version is quite inferior but this is totally logical and that we all expected each other. We are talking about buying a portable console with a desktop or even with the PC. Very logical, right?

In order to port Doom to the Nintendo Switch, quite a few sacrifices have been necessary visually, the first of them is a resolution that only reaches 600p when the console is connected to its dock and somewhat less when we use it in portable mode, 576p or something. less. This logically translates into less image definition, giving a blurred effect that is enhanced by the temporary anti-aliasing implemented. Other sacrifices have to do with lighting, textures, ambient occlusion, depth of field buffer, and alpha effects.

The framerate has also been affected since the version of the Nintendo console is limited to 30 FPS compared to 60 FPS that can be reached on PS4 and Xbox One even if they are not stable.

Despite this, Doom is still Doom on the Nintendo Switch and the possibility of playing it on a portable console anywhere is a very positive point that overcomes all the drawbacks of this version, after all, if you want to play this game at 60 FPS and 1080p, even 4K, nobody thinks of a portable console.

For all this we believe that a comparison and a very unfair criticism of the version of Doom for the Nintendo Switch has been made. What do you think of Doom for the Nintendo Switch?
