While they vary ever so slightly in quality, with the original, for my money, edging out the others and number 2 valiantly bringing up the rear, all 3 games are incredibly playable and deeply compelling.

If you haven’t played these games like I have, then this is a no-brainer. Personally, I would wait until the price drops slightly down, because $60 for three remastered games is a bit rich for my blood, especially with a wide range of excellent titles releasing this holiday. With that said, the experience is incredible and the original BioShock remains one of the greatest games ever made in my opinion.

That rare remastered anthology that’s worth your attention.

There are no framerate drops. No dodgy textures. The integrity of in-game mechanics are polished and hold up to the scrutiny we 2016-based reviewers can place upon them.

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.

While the return to BioShock's unsettling universe is enjoyable, it's hard to recommend the collection to fans of the original. With only a slight graphical boost, the changes BioShock: The Collection introduces are welcome, but don't warrant a second playthrough for most.

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