BioShock still has a brilliant opening, full of dark, foreboding moments and one of the best twists following some of the most wonderfully written foreshadowing in games from that era. What we’ve got here is a very nice looking (though obviously not 4K) set of BioShock games that run smoothly with nary a frame-rate hiccup that I spied in my time across the three games.įirst up, the one that started it all. Ported by a developer with previous for getting the most out of Switch ports and, indeed, the other collections in XCOM 2 and Borderlands run well, too.

BioShock: The Collection can add to the list on the other side of the spectrum, then, as this is a cracking package that is well worth investing in.īut the BioShock collection had already been remastered for Xbox One, PS4 and, I suppose, PC. Doom looks rough as a badger’s arse, Overwatch has half the frames, and The Outer Worlds has multiple problems, though it’s admittedly a miracle it runs on the hybrid handheld-home console at all.

It shouldn’t startle anyone to learn that a thirteen year old game that was on Xbox 360 and PS3 runs well on Switch, but it’s rare you see these kinds of games on the console without some form of concession. While these two entries aren’t as good as the recent Metro Exodus, they’re both fantastic and worth playing on Switch.Now and again, Nintendo’s bundle of joy throws up a surprise that, in all honesty, shouldn’t actually be that shocking.

The Metro series leans into realism, with a limited heads-up display (HUD), and immersive animations that mimic real life.

Instead, you’ll need to preserve ammo as much as possible by using stealth attacks to get by unseen. Both games give you an arsenal of weapons to choose from, but don’t expect to mow down enemies Rambo-style. These are two of the best survival first-person shooters, with an emphasis on exploration, resource management, and horror. Metro Redux is a compilation featuring Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, which originally launched in 20, respectively.
