The whole Bioshock saga is literally a piece of me.
It's my favourite game by far and has the best story ever written period.
I did not know what to expect when I played Bioshock for the first time; it was creepy and pleasantly confusing, I kept shooting and hitting splicers out of sheer fear for around 2 hours before getting the hang of it. Still, the game has a lot of unexpected moments, so you really don't ever have time to take a break. Dialogues on the first Bioshock are stellar and iconic, I still have the shivers thinking about Ryan's comebacks.
Then there's Bioshock 2.
Bioshock 2 was probably the hardest one of the bunch, and because of that I've missed a good chunk of the story on my first playthrough (since I was very invested in the fighting). Story holds up beautifully, I almost cried at the ending.
Then, Bioshock Infinite came, and boy was it a confusing game for the first 2 hours. Then everything clicked and the more I started to understand the story, the more I felt a genuine connection with myself, no joke. Ending had me in tears.
So yeah, after finishing the 3 games I was already fully satisfied with the saga.
The year was 2013, I have played all the Bioshock on their release date (I'm reviewing the Collection because it was the best way for me to replay them all).
Oddly enough, it took me 5 years to realise that The Bioshock Collection included two DLC's called Burial at Sea 1 & 2.
I had never heard of those, and on a rainy October night of 2018, I started playing them.
Got hooked and played them both in a row, non stop, having low expectations since, well, the saga was already perfect and you can't really master perfection, specially with some DLC'S (I've never a seen a DLC genuinely improve the overall game's quality).
The ending of the DLC's made me freeze on my couch, literally, so many emotions all together. I never knew how much I actuallly needed a connection between Bioshock Infinite and the first game, and the DLC's succeeded in doing that masterfully.
Do yourself a favor and play this game; and by "this game" I mean the whole saga.

I had the entire Bioshock collection sitting in my library for the longest time and finally was convinced to play through them recently. Might I say that I have been missing out on such an amazing storyline for so long, everything about these games are absolutely outstanding to me. Imagine a point in time, somewhere in the 1960's, where man makes civilization in the sea and sky with completely different ideologies to escape the anguish that is reality and embrace the melodrama of living without government with a splash of time manipulation. All that together is Bioshock, and I find that idea so creative and nothing I've never seen in a game before. Not only is the accuracy of the specific time period on point, the re-imagining of what society would look like without the influence of government and just the 1% doing what ever they want is amazing. Plus, displaying the flaws of living without "law" and executing the fall of both civilizations. 10's across the board.
