    The story telling, unique environments, gameplay and amount of content included makes Bioshock The Collection a must buy.

    If there is a must when it comes to remasters, it's BioShock: The Collection. Blind Squirrel made a superb work adapting for 1080p and 60fp an already superior franchise. If you haven't played any BioShock yet, this is the best moment and, if you are into Ken Levine's work, BioShock: The Collection has to be on your shelf.

    The Bioshock Collection is the perfect way to revisit this amazing franchise in glorious FULL HD graphics.

    There’s no denying that the Bioshock series is an ambitious one, and that it features some much loved/derided games. Bioshock Collection is the current definitive way to experience those games on consoles, but there’s little new for long-term fans beyond a bit of spit n’ polish.

    There’s always a man. There’s always a city. There’s always a lighthouse. And there’s always a reason to revisit one of the finest trilogies in the modern gaming.

    BioShock The Collection combines the three 2K Games for a reasonable price. On top of that, the games are polished and upgraded to the standards of today. And that makes the games feel like new.

    Even though The Bioshock Collection is filled with content, it is far from perfect. Technically speaking there are a lot of bumps on the road and the gameplay simply is not Bioshocks strong suit. However, the design is amazing.

    All games in the package look noticeably better than the last gen console versions. Significant effort was put into the first 2 games whileAll games in the package look noticeably better than the last gen console versions. Significant effort was put into the first 2 games while Bioshock Infinite is just a port of the PC version set to "very high" graphics option (I compared it in the past and it was running on the low graphics on last gen systems). Simply put, the YouTube comparisons don't do this collection justice, because the texture quality has been bumped up by a lot in all three games. Moreover, each game runs in 1080p and presents a crisp and vibrant image compared to the washed out and blurry image of the last gen versions. Frame rate is also 60 FPS in all with some dips here and there. There is also no day one patch for any of the titles, so you can play these games out of the box without a problem. The extras are mind blowing with all DLC thrown in and new features like the developer commentary and concept arts. The packaging is also slick. Considering how much effort 2K put into this collection, it's worth the price than most "remasters" being put out at slightly lesser price. Expand

    I never played these games before, on PC or earlier consoles and tried to go in spoiler-free, and was very impressed when I did recently. II never played these games before, on PC or earlier consoles and tried to go in spoiler-free, and was very impressed when I did recently. I think I may have been even 'more' impressed had I first experienced the games as they were released, but better late than never.

    The first two Bioshock games are very much of the same style, both play out indoors in claustrophobic, confined spaces, or in the darkness of the deep water. The third game opened things up quite a bit more into outside environments, brightness, more space and true weirdness but greatness. All three share great atmosphere, a few scares along the way and give a general vibe that they were put together by people high on something. I loved the mechanics of all three of gradually collecting and then levelling up new gear, and it's generally all really cool with no micro-transactions to be found anywhere, no online shops, just pure single player experience with all the DLC included in one neat package.

    Anyone who enjoys FPS single player campaigns, owes it to themselves to get this as honestly, even the better single player campaigns these days like Titanfall 2 are pretty and well done but also short. Getting through all of this is not short, it's fantastic value that should keep you going for a month or two, like it did me.

    I recently got a chance to play all 3 games of Bioshock and I got to say, it is one of the best games ever made.The first one was probably oneI recently got a chance to play all 3 games of Bioshock and I got to say, it is one of the best games ever made.The first one was probably one of the most fun gaming experiences i had in my life, it had a good story, a good mechanic system (even though it’s a bit outdated) and overall a great protagonist. The mechanics system felt a little outdated to me because I started to play games more seriously the past 2 years.The second game was okay, we don’t really have to talk about it, it was mediocre at best. It had a well story but the villain didn’t seem interesting to me at all but then I got to play Bioshock:Infinite. Infinite had one of the best gameplays I’ve ever experienced in my life. It was just so darn fun, Infinite has a totally new setting, the first two games were dark and gritty but the world of Columbia in Bioshock: Infinite was so colorful and wild, it just takes you in it. I’m not saying Infinite is dark, I’m just saying it has a more different setting than the others, but to be fair, I thought that the first game was better story wise. I think that Bioshock:Collection isn’t a good game collection at least for today’s standards, I wouldn’t recommend it to a modern gamer but I really enjoyed the stories and the games, and if you’re curious you’re welcome to check it out.
