Alien Isolation finally launched on the Nintendo Switch and the 2014 original on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One certainly received its fair share of praise from horror fans.
Digital Foundry has gone hands-on with the newly released Nintendo Switch version and have come away impressed with what the developers have accomplished.
The team actually says that the Nintendo Switch version actually has better image quality than the notoriously jaggy PlayStation 4 version. That’s quite some accomplishment.Â
A remarkable port from Feral Interactive. Alien Isolation features a few small downgrades from the original current-gen console versions, which are more than offset by a dramatic increase in image quality. See how the Switch game compares to both PS3 and PS4 in this extensive analysis.
