BioShock: The Collection

As a veteran returning to play through the three games of BioShock: The Collection is a pleasure, but it’s a bit disappointing to watch the updates and behind-the-scenes content to each entry gradually decline. The original BioShock receives the greatest overhaul and flourishes with new textures and lighting that bring it almost up to modern standards, and a Ken Levine retrospective, while BioShock Infinite is essentially the PC version Of course the ideas and gameplay presented and executed in all three are as memorable as they were when first released, and anyone who missed them a decade ago should definitely consider rectifying that. If you intend to play one of these fascinating and fun adventures for the first time or the tenth, the BioShock Collection is the best way to go about it.

With the discovery and abuse of the substance ADAM – a chemical that biologically altered the genetic code of the city’s inhabitants – Rapture only became more incredible. Until it fell into ruin among a devastating civil war on New Year’s Eve 1958, wherein its populace went mad.
