    BioShock Remastered is one of gaming’s all-time classics, and whether you’re experiencing Rapture for the first time or simply interested in revisiting it, you’ll be pleased to learn that the Switch version is every bit as solid as its counterparts on other consoles.

    This is an excellent game that finally comes to Nintendo Switch. It stands out due to its graphics quality, its excellent storyline and the perfectly Switch-adapted controls. Furthermore, it comes with the whole pack of additional downloadable content. Its length, which is not very long, and the fact that some of the Switch characteristics have not been taken advantage of, as the HD rumble, do not tarnish this magnificent game.

The game also runs very well on the switch, and look just about as good as one might want it to. The only real problems are that the combat (and other parts of the gameplay,) feels somewhat janky, and it starts to drag on a little bit towards the end.
    I rate this game a 8.5/10 (rounded up to a 9,) and highly recommend checking it out, especially if you see it on sale, like I did.    … Expand

    Bioshock Remastered for the Nintendo Switch is nothing short of an incredible experience.
    This was my first time playing through a Bioshock    Bioshock Remastered for the Nintendo Switch is nothing short of an incredible experience.
    This was my first time playing through a Bioshock game and I had very limited knowledge regarding the franchise as a whole. I purchased the Bioshock collection and started up the first game. I was immediately sucked into the dark and complex world the game designers masterfully created. The atmosphere was stunningly detailed and everything from the art-deco architecture to the eerily jolly music worked in perfect unison to establish the fully realized and fleshed out city of Rapture. The game ran smoothly with only minor drops in framerate and the occasional technical glitch. Gameplay wise, the first-person-shooter format allows the player to be fully immersed in the story and oftentimes feels like a movie/video game combination, with controllable cutscenes and top-notch voice acting. Playing on medium difficulty proved to have its challenges, however, I felt the difficulty overall was scaled appropriately. Combat was fun and engaging and the game provided many different options for the user to experiment with in regards to defeating each enemy.
    Where Bioshock truly shines however, is the story. The plot was constantly captivating and the story marvelously unraveled before the player's eyes, with difficult decisions and grim twists that make the game feel sinister yet intelligent at the same time. I was never bored or uninterested in the different quests that make up each level as they all felt relevant to the central story the game was trying to tell and only gave the player more time to explore the carefully crafted world in front of them. My biggest issue with the game was the length; I beat it after only 5 days. This 'issue' however is more of a testament to how much I enjoyed playing and how much I would miss exploring the many buildings and passageways the game had to offer.
    Overall, I would definitely recommend Bioshock for anyone looking for an entertaining yet chilling gaming experience. The world that Bioshock creates and the story that unfolds are not to be missed and make Bioshock a great game to add to any collection.    … Expand

    It was my first time playing this franchise, since I always had my eyes on it, but I've never got a final push to get it. It was a lot darkerIt was my first time playing this franchise, since I always had my eyes on it, but I've never got a final push to get it. It was a lot darker than I thought it would be but overall I really liked that Bioshock had such a heavy and deep atmosphere (I played it late in the darkness). IT WAS A MARVELLOUS EXPERIENCE! Framerate wasn't dropping and the game played smoothly. It was my first FPS on a controller and it does the job in teaching shooting with analog sticks. It doesn't have a gyro aiming controls but it's still a great game. Plot was deep and it sucked me in for good. Little sisters were a little weird and big daddies were hard at first, but with the right amount of time I got used to them. I would risk saying that Bioshock is a short and sweet game, perfect for people with limited gaming time. I was like that and I really liked that I could save the game nearly whenever I wanted.
    Great port with good graphics and nice framerate, audio was fine/good but it could be better. For me great start to the new (but old) franchise in my life! 9/10, -1 for the aspect of downloading some game parts even while I got a physical release.    … Expand

    This is Bioshock in all its glory, and while I give this port of the game a 10/10 I give the physical copy a 1/10 due to the mere fact thatThis is Bioshock in all its glory, and while I give this port of the game a 10/10 I give the physical copy a 1/10 due to the mere fact that the cartridge only has the opening acts of the game which means that it takes up essentially the same amount of disc space on your switch while also requiring you to have the cartridge inserted to play. It is worth buying merely to have the game in a handheld format, but I cannot in good conscience recommend the physical copy.… Expand

    (05/09/23) Que increible juego acabe de terminar fue un experiencia magnifica dejenme les cuento mi viaje por Bioshock 1 y su increible ciudad(05/09/23) Que increible juego acabe de terminar fue un experiencia magnifica dejenme les cuento mi viaje por Bioshock 1 y su increible ciudad Rapture, Desde siempre habia escuchado muy buenos comentarios acerca de la saga bioshock pero la realidad es que me adentre en su mundo sin saber nada de sus mundo y eso fue un Super Plus me deje impresionar por todo de forma genuina, adquiri el juego en su version The Collection es decir que me quedan pendiente el Bioshock 2 re y el Bioshock Infinity pero bueno empecemos con mis impresiones.

    Lo primero que debo de destacar de este juego es su ambientacion se desarrolla en una ciudad oculta debajo del mar GIGANTESCA la ciudad esta hecha con mucho cariño desde el inicio al fin en todo lugar tiene algo que contarnos y que nos mantiene a full jugando para seguir explorando la ambientacion ademas de estar muy bien cuidada es bastante tetrica y te mantiene en constante tencion en varias oportunidades el juego gracias a su ambientacion me llevaba a quitarme los audifonos y darme un brake ya que debes de estar atento en cada paso ya que el juego no deja de sorprenderte con enemigos y trampas en todas partes

    En cuanto a sus enemigos son super variados y todos respresentan una real amenaza debes estudiar como luchar contra cada uno de ellos , tienes enemigos de los basicos que son variados , tienes Big Dadies y jefes muy buenos la verdad

    Los Combates son bastante llamativos ya que debes saber gestionar todos tus recursos que la verdad son limitados y en mas de una ocasion te van a poner en aprietos y aqui viene una de las cosas que no me agrado mucho de este juego que es su gameplay en combate la verdad es que es un poco torpe y difcil de controlar y debido a la difcultad de los enemigos en mas de una ocasion te vas a sentir bastante torpe peeero luego de unas cuantas horas de gameplay lo empiezas a dominar a pesar de ser torpe

    La historia de este juego es super incrible no voy a dar mucho detalles acerca de esto pero es uno de los puntos mas fuerte de este juego no solo te cuenta historia con dialogos y cintas si no que en cada habitacion que entras la ambientacion de rapture tiene algo para contrate

    en conculsion un juego super increible se los recomiendo solo que deben tener paciencia al gameplay

    ▪️Gráficos 9/10(El Remastered Hace muy buen trabajo)
    ▪️Jugabilidad 6/10
    ▪️Sonido 7/10(En Algunas ocasiones se mezclan sonidos de todo y es un absoluto desastre la verdad y la banda sonora no es destacable)
    ▪️Ambientacion 10/10
    ▪️Innovación 10/10
    ▪️Historia 8/10
    ▪️Diversión 8/10
    ▪️Total 8(Yo siento que fue un 8,5)    … Expand
