The graphics in the game have received mixed to negative reviews, particularly in handheld mode where players report issues with blurriness and low resolution, leading to a less enjoyable experience. While docked mode offers sharper and more atmospheric visuals, many users feel that the overall graphical quality is subpar, especially when compared to the PS4 version. Despite the gameplay being praised, the poor graphics have significantly impacted players' enjoyment, with some expressing disappointment over the lack of planned improvements.
“In docked mode, the graphics are sharp and very atmospheric.”
“Of course the graphics on the Switch won't be as good, but the gameplay is excellent; in fact, due to the ability to set up your positions before engaging, I think this might be more fun than X-COM.”
“Patch downloaded... 2.5GB doesn't improve graphics but updates content to the new Seeds of Evil DLC and challenge maps.”
“Have found the graphics to get worse as I progress into the game, which is a real shame.”
“On the Switch, I play handheld; the low resolution and blurry graphics are so bad I actually felt nauseous after just fifteen minutes of play and had to put it down.”
“Even though I know that the graphics would be of lower quality than the PC, I wasn't expecting them to be as bad as they were, even after the day one patch, which seems to have done nothing.”
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition Review
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is one of the best additions to the tactical RPG genre in years; a well-written and rewarding experience that combines the creative use of stealth found in the legacy of its ex-Hitman developers with a world that’s full of interesting characters and ideas. Almost every game in this genre lives in the shadow of XCOM, but Mutant offers enough new ideas to set itself apart. The visual downgrade on the Switch version can be a little hard on the eye, but considering how this sacrifice has preserved the quality of the game within, we’d call that a worthy trade-off.

While it mostly iterates on the foundation laid by other games in the genre, quirky writing and characters help keep things fresh. Unfortunately, Mutant Year Zero’s short campaign and predictable story hold it back from being a slam dunk.
