Turns out, I had nothing to worry about, because BioShock Remastered runs just fine.

A little nervous, too, since the Switch couldn’t handle a game like Close to the Sun, which was basically BioShock: The Walking Simulator, but still, I was keen to properly experience the game for the first time - while also hoping that the game could run properly on the Switch. As such, you can imagine how happy I was when news came that the game would be making an appearance on the Switch. It originally came out at a time when I wasn’t really into gaming, and even after I finally got a PS3 many years ago, I still never went back and played it for more than an hour or two. This trilogy is best played while docked and with a Pro-Controller due to the unfortunately short joysticks of the Joy-Cons, however, they aren’t entirely unplayable in handheld mode.BioShock has always been one of my gaming blindspots. It’s linear narrative and gorgeous set pieces keep the story rolling forward in a way that many modern games can’t quite seem to recapture. Each game pulls you in and won’t let you stop, as something new is always around the corner. Whether you have played the games before or this is your first opportunity to jump into Rapture and Columbia, these games still stand the test of time in gameplay and narrative.īioShock: The Collection is made up of three brilliant pieces that can stand on their own, but are worth so much more as a whole story.

Despite taking its own direction, these three games together tell one of the best and most compelling stories from a gaming trilogy in quite some time, with each game contributing its own piece to the puzzle of such a great narrative. As the final entry in the trilogy, BioShock Infinite is a beautiful example of how the series has grown when compared to the first game which launched six years prior.
