The Switch version of Skylanders Imaginators is great! Being able to scan in all your figures and always have them with you is fantastic!! The game is fun and looks great and has more levels coming!!

Look, after playing The Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild, it's kind of difficult to give any other game 4-5 stars. This is a casual fun game and my son was able to use his old Skylanders from Xbox so that is a plus. I also like using the NFC reader in the controller to bring the characters in game rather than having to hook up a portal to the Switch dock. One note of caution, we are unable to use the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with this game. Every time we tried, it worked for a while and then froze the system with an error code. Hopefully this issue will be fixed in an update soon.

My kids have enjoyed all of the Skylanders products going on super-sale lately. They have found that most of the super chargers sky landers work with this game as well

I’m new to the skylander’s series sonthe idea behind the figures you can import into the game was pretty cool to me. My son has really loved the game and this kit.

The kids loved their skylanders, the only drawback was one of our figures had a little indentation. Nothing that stopped the game play itself, everything else besides this was great!

The previous Skylanders game with the cars was not any fun. This game gets back to its roots and reminds me a lot of the first game. I really enjoyed this game.

Skylanders have been around for a while now. You should know if you like it or not. The plus here for Switch is no portal to lug around. It uses the joy con NFC reader.

Surprisingly Good Platformer

I bought this game for my son, but I'm surprised it's as good a platforming game as it is. He and I have a lot of fun playing it together, and I would probably enjoy playing it alone quite a bit.
The big thing to consider is if you want to spend extra on the toys you'll need to unlock all areas of the game. My son loves the toys too—he'd probably enjoy having them if they did nothing in the game. But it can be an expensive proposition to collect a bunch of toys in addition to the game itself. Notably, if you have old Skylanders toys from a previous game, they'll work in this game too.

My son loves his new Skylanders set. He had one before when we had a Wii, but he really likes the new set. I'm sure we will be back for more soon!

While targeted for kids, this game has elements that allows kids to play and still attract older games. Pretty fun. Only draw back is buying extra characters.

It's nice to finally have one of these Skylanders games without the portal lying around. Just as fun as the other Skylanders games.

Not the best version, but good deal at $30(GCU)

The game isn't really my style. It seems clunky, slow, and cheaply made. That said, Skylander's has a fun gimmick about it which helps overlook some of it's flaws. Especially if a child is playing. I was told by an employee at Best Buy that it is no longer in production, which is why it is on clearance. With GCU, at just under $30, I couldn't pass this up!
Maybe my future kids will enjoy it... haha...
