The experts state that
"the Switch version is substantially cleaner in motion," and still looks more attractive and cleaner than the older versions even when the resolution occasionally dips below 1080p. There are still some graphical drawbacks, but not enough for Digital Foundry to go back on their words that Alien: Isolation on the Switch is
"a remarkable conversion of a brilliant game."
Check out Digital Foundry's breakdown below — along with the official gameplay trailer:
When she left Earth, Ellen Ripley promised her daughter she would return home to celebrate her 11th birthday. She never made it. Fifteen years later, Amanda Ripley learns that the flight recorder from her mother’s ship has been recovered.
