In terms of the quality of the ports, all three games run well on the Switch and look better than the original console release, with each game running at a solid 30FPS framerate and a dynamic 1080p resolution in docked mode, with a 720p dynamic resolution in portable mode. Even so, this is a phenomenal First-Person Shooter that still looks and plays great on the Switch, and it's an absolute must-play game for fans of the genre, especially if you don't already have it on another platform.Īll three games in this collection are well worth playing, but the real treat here are the first and third games, which have both aged somewhat but are still extremely compelling games, thanks largely to their excellent story and phenomenal world-building. The Nintendo Switch version runs well, but has the most visual cutbacks made to it out of the entire Bioshock trilogy compared to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 counterparts. This is still a fun First-Person Shooter, but don't expect anything quite as memorable as the original Bioshock.īioshock Infinite takes this First-Person Shooter series to the skyward city of Columbia, resulting in what I believe to be the best story, the best world-building, the best visuals, and the best gameplay in the series.

In the end, this is still an excellent port of a legendary First-Person Shooter, and an absolute must-play for anyone who hasn't experienced it before, and worth returning to for those looking to revisit that nostalgia.īioshock 2 has aged somewhat since its original release in 2010, and it's still fun to play, but as with this game's original release, the return trip through Rapture isn't quite as impressive as it was the first time around, and the story isn't nearly as compelling. Here is what I thought of each game in this collection: Gameīioshock has aged somewhat since its original release in 2007, but it's still fun to play, and while Rapture may not be as graphically impressive as it once was, it's still extremely visually-striking, with some of the best world-building ever to be found in a videogame. For those unaware, the Bioshock games are story-focused First-Person Shooters that take place in fantastical locales in alternate versions of history – the first two games taking place in the dystopian underwater city of Rapture in the 1960s, and Bioshock Infinite taking place in the skyward city of Columbia in the 1910s. This collection was originally released on other platforms in 2016 and brought to the Nintendo Switch in 2020.

Genre: Compilation / First-Person Shooterīioshock: The Collection is a compilation of the remastered versions of Bioshock and Bioshock 2, as well as a port of Bioshock Infinite based on the PC version of the game, as well as all of the games' DLC content.
