Without spoiling much, you find yourself in Rapture - an underwater husk of a city complete with an 1950s art deco aesthetic and a failed, mysterious ruler named Andrew Ryan. (Also see: BioShock: The Collection Cannot be Live Streamed on the PS4 and Xbox One )įirst up is the game that started it all - the original BioShock. As for each individual release? Is the visual upgrade enough to warrant checking this trilogy out?

The series still holds up well from a gameplay perspective, even though the first game debuted nearly 10 years ago. You’ll explore unbelievable, yet fully realised, vistas, uncover plot points via recorded messages or the odd cut-scene, gun down enemies with an assortment of fire-arms or use plasmids (or vigours as they’re called in BioShock Infinite) that let you electrify or incinerate your enemies, or even summon a swarm of bees to devastate your opponents. The core gameplay across all three games is the same with a few minor differences. Like most of the PS3 and Xbox 360’s greatest hits, BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite now find their way to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC as BioShock: The Collection. Bioshock was one of the standout series of previous console generation, and the games fused political and philosophical thought with over the top action as you set deranged drug-addled foes alight with fire from your finger tips.
