Probably the best 3rd party game on the Switch (and pushing some 1st party ones for the crown of best game) and that is not an exaggeration. The quality of the port is phenomenon, currently 80 hours in and have at least another 10 hours of post game to play without finishing all side quests. No noticeable performance issues and while resolution can be blurry, the quality of texture and character models look fantastic in handheld (and better in docked)
Content wise, it is exactly what you'd expect from a JRPG. It has all the cliche things that make or break a JRPG but nothing completely over the top and certainly suitable for western audiences. I've found the lore and world building aspect of the game fantastic and gripping. I never played a DQ game before, I am now a fan.
Levelling up can be a bit of a grind as your character becomes stronger but the game allows you to "auto" battle with a very intelligent A.I. system selecting the moves each character of your party makes and provides the ability to speed up combat if you wish. You can walk up to an enemy and let the game take over from there.
If you're looking for a time sink which offers a great story, performance and more importantly reward a 3rd party studio for taking pride in porting a game to Switch. This is it!

Well worth the money
Very fun Game!The choice to switch between retro snes graphics and modern day graphics is a nice touch.The characters are all very well flushed out especially Serena!If you decide to buy the game make sure to claim the free DLC from the switch Estore!Overall it's a great game for people who enjoy turn based combat(such as FFX etc)Didn't buy the game via Amazon as it was cheaper to buy from Argos

El RPG que debes jugar. Aún que no te gusten los rpgs por turno da igual, prueba la demo gratuita que tienes en la EShop de Nintendo y veras que es muy bueno.
Es un juego precioso con una gran historia y la versión de Switch está completa con todo su contenido. Muchísimas horas de juego que cuando completas la historia principal aún hay más aventuras que vivir. Le pongo 5 estrellas porqué es lo máximo que deja Amazon pero este juego se merece 100 ⭐ He reído y llorado en este juego un montón.
