![]() ![]() Despite that, it’s a really well written adventure, far better than most will remember it being the fact The Collection includes its brilliant DLC, Minerva’s Den, makes it even more attractive a replay proposition. It doesn’t get quite the same level of technical attention that BioShock does, though, and there’s not the full remaster feeling that the original receives. Creaking, leaking and sumptuously atmospheric, it still makes a fabulously stark impact from get-go, and its characters – the enigmatic Andrew Ryan, the elusive Atlas, the mad murderous Steinman and the insane – also homicidal – artist, Sander Cohen, are all brilliant to this day. Rapture here is basically as good as you remember it. Unsurprisingly, BioShock receives the most technical work. BioShock Infinite was a smart but divisive blockbuster returning to Irrational Games’ capable hands, Infinite is a much better shooter but it was never quite made the statement of the original. The former was always an underrated gem – not developed by Irrational Games (the series’ creator and brainchild), and it lacked that initial wonder of seeing the city of Rapture for the first time. And this Collection also includes 2010’s BioShock ’s BioShock Infinite. Revisiting a game as special as this a smart,story-driven shooter set in the dark, underwater dystopian city of Rapture – a game which helped defined the generation of games that came after it – always has the potential to disappoint. Ten years later, replaying the original BioShock is a risky prospect. ![]()
