10 Worst Ever Downgrades In Video Game History
10. The Outer Worlds (Switch Port)
Okay, it's time to talk about the Nintendo Switch.
No one will deny that this wonderful console is a boatload of fun. Hell, it has produced some of the most enjoyable games of the past decade. That said, it leaves a lot to be desired when talking tech.
The console's lacklustre processing power has been a long point of contention as Nintendo's premier console struggles to run its own games consistently. This becomes even worse once you port third-party games in, and The Outer Worlds learned that lesson the hard way.
Obsidian's charming-as-hell sci-fi RPG is a bonafide delight with great characters, thrilling gameplay, and strong visuals. Sadly, those who played it on the Switch had an entirely different experience.
The port is a disaster full of lengthy loading times, poorly optimized visuals, slow-spawning textures, a chugging frame rate in firefights, and more. It's a massive downgrade from the game's PlayStation, Xbox, and PC versions that not even Parvati could fix.
