Through environmental storytelling and exploration, we learn the who, the why, and the how of both Rapture’s downfall and of how the city of Columbia came to be.īioShock’s strength was never its gameplay. The first BioShock centres on a dystopian society that slowly unhinges its values, leading to corruption and devastation.

In every game, there are themes and ideas that work across each game. BioShock Infinite takes us to the skies and floating city of Columbia and while things seem pleasant, it doesn’t take long for the revolution to take hold. Whenever a new port gets announced, all I hope is that it runs well and holds value.īoth BioShock and BioShock 2 take place in the underwater city of Rapture, a once idealistic look at the American dream. It’s got the perfect hardware to allow some of the last gen’s finest games to find a bit a new generation of players. I’m starting to accept that the Nintendo Switch is the perfect system for ports of older video games. Each game is set within one over-arching universe and the narrative is to this day, one of the better stories in games.

And if you’re only invested in one particular game don’t worry, each title is available separately on the eShop. What comes in BioShock: The Collection? In addition to the base games, all their DLC is part of the package, and I’m keen on revisiting Minera’s Den and Burial at Sea all over again. In fact, this is an excellent port of the 2007 game, its sequel, and my personal favourite, BioShock Infinite.

Would you kindly read my review? 2K is adamant about getting some of their biggest games on the Nintendo Switch and as far as ports go, Borderlands Legendary Collection and BioShock: The Collection, are excellent additions.
