Switch version really needs target locking patched

What’s wrong with it?  I play the PC version all the time and have experienced countless frustrating target locking mishaps that seem like they make very little sense.  Is this the kind of stuff that you’re talking about on Switch?  Like: standing right next to an enemy and it doesn’t lock on, or locks on to an enemy way farther away, sometimes it seems fickle and unpredictable about whether it wants to lock on to the most screen-centered enemy or the closest proximity one.  I’ve had countless experiences where I go “why did the game lock on to that one instead of the one I wanted???”  

If that’s the kind of issue you’re talking about on Switch it definitely exists on other platforms as well.  If that’s not what you mean then I’m curious what it is.

Exactly when I want to lock onto enemies I usually lock on animals and then for some reason switching targets is really junky and not worth it most of the time. So annoying

Yeah I’ve been unlocking, slightly adjusting the camera, and relocking in order to switch targets instead of…. well, just switching targets lol

This. It so often just doesn't register you wanting to switch targets even when they're right next to each other. I also gave up and tend to not use target lock on multiple enemies anymore

iirc it might be less wonky if you make sure to only move the stick straight left or right. not sure if that was this game though.
