Powers in particular are also wonderfully integrated into the world and level design, giving you a variety of ways to complete combat encounters as you progress. Throughout all three games, the guns and powers (called Plasmids in the first two and Vigors in Infinite) all feel fantastic as you pull the trigger or throw your flames, with appropriately visceral and staggered responses from enemies. The controls in that game feel fluid and responsive, making combat feel much better than in the previous two.
This isn’t the case in Bioshock Infinite however, which feels much closer to current generation games. Despite messing around with settings extensively, there was no way for me to get the controls to a point where I felt truly comfortable playing them. This is particularly true of Bioshock and Bioshock 2, which have acceleration-based camera controls that feel unwieldy compared to games today. This isn’t a big surprise, given we’re talking about games that were released between seven and twelve years ago. Where Bioshock: The Collection’s Switch port starts to feel a little dated is in its gameplay. If you’re looking for well written, interesting stories, then this is the collection for you. The writing across all three is generally exceptional, both in explicit and environmental storytelling, although the story of Infinite does get a bit convoluted at points. Every single one of the Bioshock games has interesting twists and turns, with the first game having some specific moral choices with clear checks and balances that make you stop and think. Each game deals with the moral conundrums and ambiguities that come when science is allowed to run wild without moral or legal checks, as well as the implications of class systems and how they both interweave to affect societies. Each game’s story has been well-tread at this point, but if you’re a Nintendo gamer coming to the series for the first time, let me give you a quick rundown on the general themes of the series. The quality of these ports was hit and miss with both XCOM 2 and The Outer Worlds, but that isn’t the case with Bioshock: The Collection’s Switch port, which is exactly what I’d hoped for: A good looking, well-running portable collection of all three Bioshock games released so far.Īs advertised Bioshock: The Collection’s Switch port brings together all three previously released Bioshock games along with their respective DLC: 2007’s Bioshock, 2010’s Bioshock ’s Bioshock Infinite. In the space of a week we received three 2K collections on the Switch ( Bioshock, Borderlands and XCOM 2), as well as a port of Private Division/Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds. It seems that with the end of May we have moved from the year of the remake/ remaster into the year of the Switch Port.
