    Absolute garbage collection. Nothing more than a quick cash grab that doesn't do much else but increase the resolution. Even on Xbox One X the textures are often very unsharp and muddy. Just play the original ones on pc for a similar experience but much cheaper. Oh and, you can't even take screenshots, screen recordings or stream the games on consoles.

Oh and, you can't even take screenshots, screen recordings or stream the games on consoles. This is literally the only time I experienced that and even after all these years the developers still didn't bother to fix that. As stated before: just a quick cash grab, not worth your money.… Expand

    Good collection, but too much race politics in Infinite. Just turns me off. Expansion packs are no better. Burial at Sea, where you meet an instantly unlikeable Elizabeth within the first minute, followed by weird stuff, like gay people. No, thanks. Not my video games.

    The games definitely look better than they did. The problem is at least with the original game you get lag spikes so often it really ruins the playability of the game itself.

    The BioShock games are one of the top series in gaming, and if you haven't played these games before you owe it to yourself to pick up this collection. Even if you have, it is worth your time to revisit them and play your way through them again. I found that I picked up on new elements and some of the more subtle aspects of the stories the second time through, giving me a greater appreciation for how well-crafted the stories are.

    The best way to experience gaming's most loved, if not best, shooter series. [Dec 2016, p.76]

    Bioshock: The Collection takes what we remembered about our time in Rapture, and the city in the sky "Columbia", and tugs on the heartstrings of our emotional attachment that started with the Big Daddy and the Little Sisters, and plays our soul like a Stradivarius. After all these years Bioshock: The Collection still provides one fantastic gaming moment after another.
