Switch Ports you should avoid

Work in progress... These won't all be terrible ports but certainly not good enough ones. let's begin with the metro 2033 and last light ports. While these are very good games the dynamic lighting is completely absent from these ports (understandably so, the Switch doesn't have the processing grunt of the 360/ps3 era).The downgraded visuals just aren't good enough without that lighting: robbing the game of its ambiance and atmosphere, even on the small screen. Demon Turf: this is a small indie game so it's probably unfair to bad mouth this game for it's bad draw distance but it bugs me. The control isn't great either, the biggest problem with the game is the infuriating checkpoint system. I have a soft spot for 3D platformers and 3D enviroments with 2D sprite characters too, so the fact that i still didn't like this really says something. This is mostly a dislike of the game itself, then the port but I'm not putting more money into this game to find out. Doom Eternal: this game just looks terrible. Doom 2018 and wolfenstien the new collosus are great ports,though. Starlink: this is actually a fun game and cheap if you bypass all the toy to life nonsense. However the graphics just don't hold up in portable mode. Decent draw distance and solid middle distance is negated by blurry characters. Definately going to check out the ps4 version. Fun, arcade style controls are the rarest of all gems in video games.
