Risk of Rain 2: Nintendo Switch Performance

Risk of Rain 2 has just recently been released for the Nintendo Switch. However, its performance on the console is a cause for concern for Switch owners. The game can be a bit intensive on both the graphics processor and CPU, especially after a play session that lasts an hour long or more, and the Switch is known to run some indie games quite poorly.

As far as performance is concerned, the most that can be said about the performance on the Nintendo Switch is that it is playable. Users on Reddit have been wondering about the performance of the game on the Switch, and while some players don't seem to mind the Switch's performance, it's still nothing to be really impressed with.

Some users in particular noted that the port has several issues. On top of some bugs such as bad terrain interactions between enemies and drones, the game does not run smoothly at all. The resolution is quite low, the game barely runs at 30 frames-per-second, the textures are a bit odd, and the main menu loads very slowly. While the game is still in early access, it is a strange decision for the developers at Hopoo Games to push for a console release before the game is fully polished. Hopefully, they will take some community feedback and make the Switch gameplay a more improved experience.
