Paladins fills a fairly significant gap in the Switch’s library. Some minor issues aside, it's generally a great experience.
Paladins has its own unique identity and deserves your attention. Hi-Rez studios has crafted a solid online hero shooter with some fun and unique twists on the genre.

I am really enjoying Paladins on the Switch. Yea its not the most tech Advance version compared to PS4 and Xbox 1 but its pretty close considering i also play it on PS4 at my friends house alot. Lots of things to unlock lots of shooting as well. Very happy it was ported to the Switch.

This game does have its bugs like crashing every 5 or 6 matches on switch but overall this is my favorite game,

Paladins fills a fairly significant gap in the Switch’s library, and should hopefully continue to grow as a great multiplayer shooter on the system. Some general bugs and long queue times aside, what’s here is - generally - an excellent experience.
While Fortnite is deservedly garnering a ton of attention, don’t let Paladins slip past you. It has fun characters, a fair progression system, wildly addictive combat, and a vibrant look that makes each battle a real rush.
Paladins is a fun shooter, and encourages long-term play with its unlockables and level-up progressions. It loses to Fortnite in the addictiveness stakes, though, and isn't helped by a less-than-seamless matchmaking system.
Paladins is a worthy addition to the Switch, but it feels a bit soulless and shallow despite its breadth of heroes.
While it sounds like I’m just tearing this game apart, it’s not out of spite, and nor do I think Paladins is a bad game. There’s some very solid mechanics and gameplay in here, it’s just wrapped in a lot of tedium and waiting that it makes it hard to justify opening for a few games. When it goes free to play, I’d definitely recommend checking it out, but I wouldn’t go buying the Founders Pack to play early just yet.

Paladins is a derivative, but fun, free-to-play hero shooter. It's not nearly as slickly produced as its clear inspiration, Overwatch. However, it's a competent game in its own right, and many players would choose it over its model.
PROS:
* Good fun, with a nice mix of characters for every play style.
* Runs silky smooth on the Switch.
* Not nearly as predatory as the average FTP. You can play it for free indefinitely. The one-buy Champions Pack gives you basically everything you might want, except for cosmetic items.
CONS:
* It's hard to look over the fact that it's an Overwatch knock-off without all the polish.
* Low production values, especially in the cheap character design and laggy menus.
* Still plays some dirty tricks to get your money, such as leaving you with spare "crystals" (the in-store currency), encouraging you to buy more.

There is a lot of good to say About Paladins: it's free, it has gyro aim, it runs at 60fps and it is a decent take on the Overwatch/TF2 type gameplay.
Unfortunately there is some bad either: The game is highly instable and crashes regularly, which is even more annoying when taking into account the long load times so it takes forever to get back into the game.
Playing this game on ranked mode was not quite satisfactory either. I guess the player base isn't large enough: you get highly unbalanced matches despite having to wait in que for a long time.
Then there are some quality of life issues like for example not being able to type in chat during matches.
I would still recommend this game for everyone that is interested in this genre but that is mostly due to the lack of alternatives. Splatoon 2 is the only better alternative I know. Overwatch is also on Switch but the port isn't that good either and only runs at 30fps.

Very very poor version of a solid game. Make the switch version your last port of call to play this game

It's almost unplayable son switch. Too much lag, framerate drops and freezes. It's a great game but on switch too many technical problems. I don't know if the other problems are having the same problems as well.

Summary Paladins is a free-to-play game that combines a rich fantasy setting with the fast action of a team-based first-person shooter.
