    Easy to get into and with a variety of characters you can find for pretty cheap. It's worth noting the franchise seems to be spooling down when it comes to the collectible characters, and there are no announced plans to have any further games in the series that make use of the characters (written in March 2018). That being said, it's a fun, relatively simple game with a variety of levels and characters and a good spread of difficulty options.

    I'm having a great time playing this with my 8 year old son. Neither of us have ever played any other iteration of this game on any other system so I can't compare it to them. From what I've read this might be good as supposedly the PS4 version is superior to this one BUT when you compare to other systems always remember only the Switch allows you to take it on the go. For this reason alone i'm willing to buy an inferior version of any game for the switch almost every time.

    The Switch version of Skylanders does not come with a separate portal -- rather, it uses the NFC receiver built into the Switch Joy-Cons. This actually makes it a bit more cumbersome for my son to switch between characters, but within a few minutes he was swapping them out like a pro. He loves it, and the fact that it's still compatible with all previous Skylanders means that he already has a truckload of characters for it.

    Purchased the game with the console on launch night. Very similar to the other Skylander games already available. Nice to know that you can purchase the existing characters as they are interchangeable between systems (for Imaginators game). I only wish that you were able to purchase bundled characters instead of spending $10-15.00 each to expand your playing experience.

    Fun & Simple

    This game is simple and fun. It is obviously more for young ones than adults. There is no real challenge to it. The other downside is the need to buy the action figures/toys to unlock more of the game. You don't need the over-priced toys to still have something fun to play, though.

    I'm a semi-fan of the skylanders games and once I found that that the Switch version offers the option to permanently scan in your characters, I was in. It's a fun little adventure game that lets you switch characters on the fly, which I think works better than scanning all of your characters constantly.

    Better than Disney infinity

    When Disney Infinity came out, our kids had to pick between skylanders and infinity - they chose the latter. $200 later, infinity was basically just a licensed money sink. Skylander has a MUCH richer gameplay experience, the miibo experience is slick. Must have launch title for kids.

    Skylanders Imaginators is a really fun co-op game for Nintendo Switch! Plus, when you consider its the only game that you can play as Crash Bandicoot, Donkey Kong, Bowser and Spyro the Dragon all in the same game, that's reason enough to check it out in my mind!

    The game plays much like all other Skylanders games have which is great for a younger generation of gamers. For the most part I don't think this is the game to buy for anyone 12 and older. Another note is this game does preform at it's best when in the switch un-docked mode.

    Great game for young kids. Can get pricey if you want to buy more characters and dig deeper in to the game. But my son loves playing this game. The fact we can load the character and then not have to carry it around with us is great too.

    Skylanders is the best game ever. There are so many ways to play this game. And there are so many characters to try different strategies to beat the game that keep it interesting to play by yourself or with another person.

    The built in NFC reader on the Switch Joy Con works great with the figures. The game runs well and looks great on the Switch mobile and docked. It's a fun game but the jumping/platforming can be tougher for younger kiddos.

    We knew going in that this is the same Skylanders game that was released for other sytems last year. We are pleased with the release on the Nintendo Switch. The great feature is that you do not need a portal to play.
