We usually do not cover gaming news, especially when almost all digital stores are giving away several games per week or offering them with significant discounts. However, the folks at Epic force us to make an exception with their latest gift: the complete BioShock saga, which includes the three remastered games and all their DLC. The stories of Jack, Booker DeWitt, and Elizabeth are just a couple of clicks away, and I recommend you hurry, because there are less than 48 hours left…
BioShock (2007)
The first BioShock debuted in August 2007 exclusively for Windows and Xbox 360. Beyond some problems with its DRM and the fourteen-month delay suffered by the PS3 version, BioShock was an absolute success, selling more than three million copies in two years. The story begins with Jack, who after surviving a plane crash arrives at a mysterious lighthouse in the middle of the ocean, and to the underwater city of Rapture. Originally designed as an absolute example of laissez-faire, Rapture is now a labyrinth of chaos and death, and you must guide Jack to escape everything hidden there…
BioShock 2
Three years later, the folks at 2K Games created a new studio (called 2K Marin) to shape the sequel BioShock 2. Eight years have passed since the events of the first title, and the player must take control of Delta, a Big Daddy whose goal (or rather, extreme need) is to reunite with his Little Sister, Eleanor. The problem is that Eleanor is directly related to the new collectivist leader of Rapture, Sofia Lamb, who will do everything possible to prevent Delta and Eleanor from meeting again. Not a few fans place BioShock 2 a step above the first game…
BioShock Infinite
In 2013, 2K Games struck again with BioShock Infinite, and the depths of Rapture are left behind to travel to Columbia, a city in the clouds and a theocratic police state where institutional racism and recalcitrant elitism are the norm. There, private detective Booker DeWitt must find a young woman named Elizabeth, a prisoner in Columbia since childhood. However, the horrors of his past, the imminent rebellion that will shake Columbia's foundations, and the intervention of alternate universes will throw Booker into a perverse spiral of cause and effect…
All DLC Included
Finally, the Epic Games Store gift includes all DLC in each of the games, with special emphasis on Burial at Sea, the extension for Infinite that takes both Booker and Elizabeth back to Rapture. This DLC was originally divided into two parts, but now we can enjoy that adventure at once, completing the great cycle of the BioShock saga. As if that were not enough, all games run even on a fuel dispenser, and you should have no trouble running them, even with more modest graphics cards. Don't let them get away!
