At the same time, controls can be a bit tough to master and there’s no option to remap them at all.
Unfortunately, all games now run at 30fps on the Nintendo Switch which is not the end of the world considering the hardware. It delivers a new breath-taking city to explore and manages to come to life on the Switch more than I thought it would. It is also the most visually captivating game compared to the other two. We then have Bioshock: Infinite which was the biggest and boldest move in the series. However, you do see a drop in resolution when playing handheld. Other than that, the game runs smoothly on the Switch both docked and handheld.
This is definitely noticeable when moving from the first game directly to the second. My biggest issue was the last of water reflections. The engine was downgraded for some reason which meant the game suffered from some graphical hiccups. Bioshock 2, for the most part was a step down visually compared to the first game. Like the original game, it also ships with all the DLC meaning Minerva’s Den, which is still one of the greatest DLC releases of all time, is included in the package. When moving onto Bioshock 2, it is still a great experience.
However, I actually prefered the swapping of guns and plasmids in the first game more than the dual-wielding feature in the later games. In the second game and Infinite, you can do both. While exploring the halls of Rapture, you can only hold a gun or a plasmid at any given time. Of course, the gameplay is a lot slower and simple compared to the other two. It all comes together in a beautiful set piece that just shows how ahead the game was for its time. Areas are detailed, the water looks great, and of course, the game’s sound design is still one of the best around. The first game, while being the oldest is still a benchmark title for the console. It is strange how our brains store an image of something which is often a lot more glamorous than it actually is. When travelling towards Rapture for the first time, I swear the city looked a lot different in my mind. The original game released way back in 2007 and while it was a groundbreaking advancement for storytelling and visuals back in the day, it shows rough edges on the Switch in more ways than one.
