 * Lead
 * "BioShock: The Collection is a collection of the BioShock video games" - would 'compilation' be more apt?
 * The second paragraph of the lead is on the short side and would benefit from summarising critics' views. I recall the game being criticised for its bugs upon release. Expand a little after "Critical reception of The Collection was generally positive..."
 * "The game was a bestselling title in the US and UK" - minor, but I would write United States and United Kingdom fully, but feel free to ignore


 * Contents
 * "...contains all three titles in the BioShock video game series" - seems redundant
 * The Contents section is missing basic information on series gameplay. I'm looking at Halo: The Master Chief Collection for reference here - I'd mention a very brief sentence or two about its gameplay mechanics, like: The games combine first-person shooter and role-playing elements...


 * Reception
 * The reception section is perhaps on the short side, but acceptable for GA.
 * "Game Revolution's Peter Paras and praised" - needless conjunction
 * NintendoLife's score is missing in the table. I also note that Game Revolution isn't italicised. I personally don't italicise websites, but NintendoLife is here
 * "More critically, Derek Taal said that the gameplay " - who's this? Who's he writing for?

This is overall a solid article. The sources are all of good standard. I've noted some minor concerns such as the lead not including a summary of critics' views and there are also some minor tweaks to be done to the reception. Otherwise this is comprehensive enough for GA, seeing as it's a compilation. ♦ jaguar  00:25, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for the review. I believe I've addressed all of the above points (pulled in a few sources to add a bit about the gameplay, since most of the reviews just gloss over it, consistently italicized the websites so they're uniform, cleaned up the minor text stuff.)

 * Thanks David. With those minor issues out the way this meets the GA criteria, so let's get this promoted. ♦  jaguar  16:17, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
