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.
I love everything about the Bioshock games. The retro-futuristic setting encapsulates everything that I love about the science fiction genre. The mystery and lore is fascinating, the gameplay is thrilling, and I'm just going to go ahead and say that Bioshock Infinite is the best of the bunch.
I'd like to highlight perhaps my favorite gaming moment that I've had the pleasure of experiencing. My first time in Columbia, I stood and listened to the barbershop quartet's entire performance of God Only Knows, and I LOVED IT. There are few games in this world that have a sense of atmosphere to the extent that Bioshock games do. I will be first in line when the fourth games comes out, however long it may take.

Pretty cool collection that contains the entire trilogy, along with their DLCs, within one pack. The remastered visuals look alright and the gameplay feels exactly as how I remember it. Pretty much nothing as changed from what I can tell so if you want to play the BioShock games, this collection will be it for you
This collection contains the three updated Bioshock games from the 7th generation. The ports are good and most of the games hold up. Infinite is the big mixed bag, still. Its plot is honestly muddled, especially the ending and the two DLC packs. They just didn't know what to do with this story. Bioshock still holds up fairly well in the imm simm category, and Bioshock 2 does pretty well, too. Minerva's Den is the standout of the series, however, as it is too good to be ignored, and is now included in this package. That said, here are my individual scores of each game and major story DLC:
Bioshock: 9/10
Bioshock 2: 8/10
Bioshock: Minerva's Den: 10/10
Bioshock Infinite: 4/10
Bioshock: Burial at Sea: 4/10
Bioshock: 9/10
Bioshock 2: 8/10
Bioshock: Minerva's Den: 10/10
Bioshock Infinite: 4/10
Bioshock: Burial at Sea: 4/10
Played the 1st and loved it.
The second looks exactly like the first apart from a few things. Can't say that I prefer this one since they both look so alike - the story might be better in the first though. Also, it's a shame that you have a limit amout of money in this game.
I didn't finish the 3rd one but, from what I played, it is a fun one (but not as fun as the first two).

This takes what was already perfect in the trilogy, bumps it into 4k HD and adds all of the DLC. I just about 100% each title and their respective DLCs and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. This collection is an insane deal because it gives you some of the 7th generations best video games all in one package.
Great game to play and and the best way to play the whole series. Infinite was the best followed by 2 and then 1. the story was awesome as well as the gameplay. I can see why several games are based off of the series. Burial at sea was the best dlc for the series by far. Would highly recommend listening to all the audio logs after beating each game because of how hidden details and stuff related to each big character. Can't wait for Bioshock 4 and Judas.
