Start playing Bioshock [duplicate] - A Referee and Hockey Players on an Ice Rink

I was young when Bioshock 1 came out and did not have a PC strong enough to play it. Over the past years I forgot about it but saw other Bioshock titles coming out but I never had a closer look at it.

Now I'm thinking about playing them but I don't know where to start... Is it necessary to play all the Bioshock games through to understand the story or can I just start with Bioshock Infinite? Is the story even connected in all the games?

Please no spoilers :*

Best Answer

Playing in chronological order makes the most sense in this case, as the games make reference to the previous in the series, which might cause a little confusion for someone new to the games. The order to play the games in is up to you, though it is worth noting that the games change genre slightly as they go:

Horror<----------------------->Action

Bioshock|Bioshock 2|Bioshock Infinite

Does it matter which Bioshock to play first?

You can skip it if you want, but it's a pretty good game. I would not recommend playing Infinite first, since you won't completely understand the ending, but it's not absolutely necessary to play Bioshock 1 first.

Do you play as a Big Daddy for all of Bioshock 2?

Yes, finally, we can tell you that you play as a Big Daddy in BioShock 2. Subs issues of Game Informer have hit, confirming that you take control of the first gigantic walking chap thing, have changeable weapons for your arm and new, mutated plasmids.

Can you play Bioshock 2 before Bioshock?

No. Bioshock Infinite's story is completely separate from that of Bioshock 1+2, which are somewhat tied together. Only in small parts (and in DLC as part of the Bioshock Infinite Season Pass) do the stories from 1+2 overlap with that of Infinite's.

Which Bioshock game should I buy?

To say much more about BioShock: Infinite would inevitably veer into spoiler territory, but for anyone who's been curious from afar and perhaps frightening by the sinister vibes of the first games should definitely pick up the collection and play Infinite first on Nintendo Switch.

Answer 2

I never played the second Bioshock and I don't even think that would have changed the fact that I enjoyed the third. The stories aren't (entirely) related and that makes it perfect to start with the Bioshock you prefer.

Answer 3

For Bioshock 2, Bioshock 1 is a must. I am not sure about Bioshock Infinite, but I hear that they changed a lot in the latest release.

Bioshock 1 is the best, in my opinion.
