From time to time and capriciously, games appear that completely mark a generation. Sometimes it’s called Final Fantasy VII, sometimes it’s called Metal Gear Solid 3, and then there’s the BioShock saga. Ken Levine is one of the top developers in the industry for masterpieces like System Shock 2 or water and air adventures.
If you’re a PlayStation Plus Premium subscriber, you can get your hands on once and for all one of the best trilogies the service has. Each game has its own separate tab, although if you want to buy them together they are discounted in the BioShock: The Collection pack for 9,99 dollars. Now is the time to reveal each of these timeless jewels from which Atomic Heart drinks deeply.
BioShock Remastered
The one that started it all, one of the most magnetic dystopias that we have thrown ourselves in the face. Rapture stands before us, but first you have to go down a few hundred meters under the ocean. The underwater city serves as a haven for some of Earth’s greatest minds, but ends up turning into a Splicer-ridden nightmare.
The inhabitants have allowed themselves to be consumed by the plasmid drug, which drives them mad and gives them powers while hunting the Little Sisters. The Big Daddies are their emblematic guardians and they are a very tough nut to crack when we face them. Our duty will be to escape from this beautiful and decadent hell using everything we have at our disposal, even supernatural powers. You can enjoy a virtual museum, a challenge room, and commentary from Ken Levine and chief animator Shawn Robertson. All this in a fully remastered title.
BioShock 2 Remastered
Rapture never leaves us, but this time it is necessary to return to the aquatic city with a different appearance. We are subject Delta, a prototype of Big Daddy who has to fulfill the mission of rescuing his missing Little Sister. The events place us eight years after what happened in the first game and the city is not doing much better. A collectivist sect has been founded and, together with the Big Sisters, they make up a threat that very few are able to overcome.
Once again, Rapture’s mesmerizing art deco captivates with stunning staging and sets. The art work is colossal and you can enjoy new areas like the Minerva’s Lair DLC, which leads us to learn the secrets of Rapture’s central computer. On the other hand, The Trials of the Protector entrusts us with various challenges in which to defend a Little Sister against hordes of enemies.
BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition
Ken Levine returned to the saga to put a colossal flourish. This time we completely change the scene and take the role of Booker DeWitt, an investigator who is entrusted with rescuing a young woman named Elizabeth. His investigations end up taking him to Columbia, a gigantic city among the clouds and with a society that lives happily in a corrupt vision of the American dream.
Problems arise when the entire city tries to stop Booker from taking Elizabeth, who possesses powers capable of changing reality itself. An exciting journey, with an ending that has remained etched in everyone’s retina. A game mode awaits you like Showdown in the Clouds, with four new zones with extra challenges, but the icing on the cake is in Pantheon at Sea, a two-episode expansion that returns us to Rapture just before everything went to hell.
