Things got a bit better once I finally arrived in Rapture proper. Rapture didn’t look epic from a distance, it looked like a bunch of big blocks drowned in a murky bathtub. However, I was severely disappointed with the underwhelming lighting effects, as well as the draw distance.

Once I got into the batisphere, I was looking forward to seeing the iconic Rapture intro scene for the millionth time. The edges of the debris were ridiculously pixelated. This must be the lamest version of Rapture I have ever seen.īy the time the game started, the second our main character swam to the surface of the ocean, I could see how underwhelming the resolution was. This Switch port, thankfully enough, isn’t buggy at all, but it looks rough.

The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Bioshock were infamous for how buggy they were at launch, but at the very least, they looked and performed better than their previous-gen counterparts. The main problem lies in the quality of the overall visuals and performance. But I also pity you a little bit, as technically speaking, I sincerely think this version is only slightly better than the underwhelming (albeit ridiculously ambitious) iOS port. If this is your first time playing the game, I’m really jealous because I wish I could experience this game for the first time once again. If you’ve played the game before, you’ll know exactly whenever the twists and iconic moments will occur and you’ll still watch them unfold with a grin from ear to ear. Its iconic “I chose Rapture” intro, the plasmids, the gun combat, the jaw-dropping level design, the characters, the secrets, the plot twists everything is here. Shotgun?Īt its core, the Switch version of Bioshock retains everything we all love from that game.
