The Art Deco-inspired place was once a thriving haven, but it has fallen into ruin. You were fortunate enough to crash near a lighthouse that is a portal to the underwater city of Rapture. Taking place in 1960, BioShock has you play the role of a survivor whose plane crashes over the Atlantic Ocean. If you're unfamiliar with the premises for all three games, then you're in for an interesting ride. About four years later, Nintendo-only owners can see what all of the fuss is about, now that the games have made their way to the Nintendo Switch.

The games were packaged together as BioShock: The Collection in 2016, remastering the first two titles while taking the third game with them and getting releases on the PS4 and Xbox One, which didn't have backward compatibility at the time.

While BioShock 2 took on the familiar trappings of a sequel by setting up everything as the aftermath of the events of the first title, BioShock Infinite abandoned the seas in favor of the skies of Columbia. Coming from the mind of Ken Levine of System Shock 2 fame, it paired up good shooting mechanics with the desire to take in the fascinating world of Rapture. BioShock became an instant classic the moment it was released on the PC and Xbox 360 roughly 13 years ago.
