    All 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).

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

    Bioshock, as a series, was already utterly timeless. This collection does nothing but enhance it's reputation as one of the last's generation's true powerhouses in game writing and direction. Go, buy it.

    Conclusion: Bioshock remastered is like his original on consoles from 2007, a bomb of game play. The story plot is great, a unique world under the Atlantic ocean, filled with psychos and tons of items to pick up. This game is sure one of the best fps in history, the unspent venue under water with all his oppressiveness is great and let u feel like the only one who can solve the problems. The graphic runs smooth with 1080p/60 fps and weapons, enemies looks good. With this game you would make a experience that you´ll not soon forget, great Shooter!

    The games are excellent as they always have been but with Very nice enhanced texturing and graphics in general. The details of faces, walls, objects etc are vastly improved imo. A new addition of looking for Film Reels to unlock Director commentary is a nice addition as well. A+ and a no-brainer purchase for fans.

I always loved the ability to be able to wield powers in one hand and use a gun in another. I mean who doesn't right?? To me the best one in the series is Infinite. This is a must buy for anyone who loves shooters plus RPG elements!

    Games were incredible when they originally came out and.
    Now are out with better frame rates and graphics. I play and buy a lot of games every year and this series is at the top of best all time played games. Plus the price is a bargain. Three games for sixty so essentially 20$/game but I preordered on amazon for 48 so 16/game. This is a must buy

Secondo capitolo eccelso, peccato per l'aspettativa data dal primo capitolo e dalle poche innovazioni portate. Il terzo capitolo ha una storia molto elevata e strutturata, ha bisogno di essere giocato più di una volta per essere capito, ma, a mio parere, ha un gameplay eccessivamente banale e poco studiato per un gioco di una serie del calibro di bioshock. Nonostente ciò, resta un più che degna conclusione alla storia, grazie all'eccellente finale.

    I think a qualification of 8 is just enough and doesn't deserve more. Why?
    Is a nostalgic remaster, it plays with you. In Bioshock 1 and 2 you can notice that the textures are not very well worked, instead... infinite has more power in this section of the game. If the game was not a remaster of this mythic saga, I think my score was a 7... maybe a 7.5.

So that was my whole experience from Bioshock franchise up until the last year when some of my friends and I began to play the franchise on PS4 and eventually finishing Infinite last week. Some critics might point out that the franchise is overrated; however, from my point of view these three games are one of a kind considering suitable price, incredible storylines, and alluring atmospheres.
    Regarding the price, one could buy the collection for 60$ which includes the DLCs. Not only these games are fun to play, they give you a chance to experience utopias and dystopias.
    As for Storylines, Bioshock 1 and 2 occurs in a city named Rapture beneath the sea with a 8-year gap. Although I believe the second game has a shallower story, it could have a very emotional ending. (These two games have multiple endings based on your choices throughout the game)
    From my point of view, Infinite is the flower of the flock; its events occur on a city above the clouds named Columbia. It has a very smart and cunning way of telling the story which astonished me totally. I was absolutely speechless at the end of it.
    And considering the atmosphere, as mentioned before the first two games take place in Rapture which has a creepier environment than Bioshock Infinite which I have found to have more awing ambiance.
    Generally, Ken Levine has made a great franchise... it is a must buy! You might be impressed utterly;)

    Yes, this review is extremely late to the game. no puns. After playing the series at the original releases, at the time I was not doing many reviews. I thought BioShock 1 was a revolution in gaming. One of the best games ever released at the time. The 2nd installment I thought was just an extension of that and did a good job of tweaking the mechanics. But then.....oh but then,,, InfiniteYes, this review is extremely late to the game. no puns.

The 2nd installment I thought was just an extension of that and did a good job of tweaking the mechanics. But then.....oh but then,,, Infinite was released. First of all.....the intro to the game gave me every emotional feeling that descending into Rapture gave me the first time I played the original game. I could not put Infinite down. After playing a few hours on release day I called out of work sick for the next two days and played. Then the ending came.. I cannot tell you how much time I spent starring at the television once the game was drawing to its conclusion with my jaw dropped. To this day the ending of Infinite goes down to me as the best ending to a game ever. Even today I won't give spoilers and just say that if you have never experienced BioShock, you owe it to yourself to go through the entire trilogy. Its one of the best game series ever created and I hope that we can get at least one next gen installment some day. Expand

    One of the best series in gaming, with one of the best games ever made, is this a shooter, a horror game, a spiritual successor to System Shock, or a survival game? Yes. No one knows exactly what this game is but we all agree that it's amazing regardless, I only hope they continue the Bioshock series in the near future.

    Out of all in the series, Bioshock 2 holds the trophy for being the best in it's series. All of them were excellent games and all had replay value but 2 just held it for me. Dark setting game with over the top gameplay and audio hooked me for hours wanting to do everything. Sad it was fairly short in my opinion but the alternate endings were worthwhile.

    Visual part (Graphics): Consider this aspect with the projects of 2013. Bioshock Infinite is wayward and special in this regard, but small flaws are present. 8/10.
    Gameplay: The most painful topic of this game . If in other plans the game is excellent, then the gameplay of 2007 is already somewhat fed up. 6/10.
    Acting game: This aspect is worth noting separately. Troy Baker (especially this dude, I love him) and Courtnee Draper did an excellent job, for which you can finish 0.5 to the overall rating.

    Total: 8.5, Metacritic does not allow such a rating, and the game does not reach 9. Therefore, my choice is 8/10. The stunning work of irrational games stumbles on the gameplay, but quickly rising, catching up.

    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.

    Graphics / Sound / Atmosphere.: From a technical perspective it's not groundbreaking anymore. it was when it was released. The atmosphere is just another level however and just boosts the overall impression even after so many years.

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.
