As a whole, the collection is great for newcomers and fans alike. You’re getting three for the price of one. People, what’s not to like?

Three masterpieces in a single pack. If you never played them, this is your golden opportunity.

A convenient opportunity to replay the whole saga where you want. Or, just in case, to find out what this BioShock is that everyone has been talking about for thirteen years, of course. Too bad for the not exciting graphic quality of the two remastered, especially the first one. In handheld mode, at least, you don't notice that much.

Three great games packaged for new and old players that look and run well. Not the best versions, but it's a nice to have BioShock: The Collection on Switch.

With three great games and additional content that some would say is even better, The BioShock Collection is worth picking up for pretty much anybody interested, be they existing fans of totally fresh to the series. Despite some annoyances, each game runs better and looks better than ever before, and the content to price ratio is more than favorable.

The Bioshock series is awesome, and The Bioshock Collection modernizes that experience. Although there are a few technical shortcomings, and Bioshock 2 lacks its excellent multiplayer mode, The Bioshock Collection is a worthy investment for fans of the series, or newcomers who want to see what all the fuss is about.

Each game could easily go toe to toe with any modern-day juggernaut, but only the BioShocks can be played on the go.

There’s no denying that the Bioshock series is an ambitious one, and that it features some much loved/derided games. Bioshock Collection is the current definitive way to experience those games on consoles, but there’s little new for long-term fans beyond a bit of spit n’ polish.

Unfortunately, you’ll see a remaster decline here as it’s not as well attended to as the first Bioshock game.

Whether you’re new to the series, or a returning veteran, there is almost no excuse to not pick up BioShock: The Collection. It contains some of the very best games ever made in the past decade, and they’re all still well worth playing today.

At a reduced price, Blind Squirrel offers a complete edition of the Bioshock trilogy, with all additional content released so far: the offer is attractive for old and new fans, enriched with many graphical improvements: finally Rapture can be explored at 60 frames per second on consoles too.

Even then, this is an extremely solid bundle worth your hard earned. Grab it. Relieve some great gaming moments of the past and be thankful that your nostalgic memories aren’t tainted with expectations that can’t be lived up to today. Bioshock‘s still got it — even if you can’t use current-gen OS to actually capture any of it all at present.

Bioshock was the game that set the bar for first person shooters last generation, and this collection proved that even after several years of good first-person shooter titles, nothing can really compare to that original trip to Rapture.

The Nintendo Switch port of the Bioshock: The Collection offers the same lovable characters and breathtaking combat. Although there are technical problems such as frame rate drop and reduced resolution in some parts, But this game is one of the best choices for players in Nintendo Switch to immerse themselves in the game's unique storytelling.

Bioshock: The Collection is an excellent way to experience some of the finest first-person shooters of the last 15 years. Admittedly, it's hard to ignore the fact that this compilation is regularly available at a deep discount on other platforms, but if the Switch is your only option, you really aren't sacrificing much in the way of graphics and performance. For those who may have only experienced the initial release of these three titles, the added DLC and visual improvements make a return trip to Rapture and Columbia worth the price of admission.

Die BioShock Collection bietet eigentlich alles was sich Fans der Reihe wünschen würden, verschenkt aber viel Potenzial durch technische Probleme und ungewöhnliche Streaming-Einschränkungen. Für alle die der Serie noch nie eine Chance gegeben haben, oder einen bestimmte Teil/DLC nachholen wollen, bleibt die Collection aber trotzdem die beste Anlaufsstelle.

BioShock: The Collection is an amazing collection of three extremely great titles that are just as good on Nintendo Switch. However, by no means is it a definitive way to play them.
