In BioShock 2, you step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big Daddy, as you explore through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and your own survival.

Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 7/day in the week to Aug 20 → 7/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The game has crashed multiple times. And for some reason this remaster doesn't have auto save. I lost 2 hours of time because of it. I doubt I'll finish it now since I have to spend 2 hours to make up for what I already did. What a joke.
BioShock 2 Remastered took everything I loved about the first game and somehow made it even better. I loved playing as Subject Delta, and Eleanor quickly became one of my favorite characters in the series. I spent half the game thinking Sinclair was going to betray me, but instead he ended up being one of the best characters across both games. The ending genuinely had me tearing up with joy, and I just sat there smiling and shocked at the same time through the credits. My only complaint is that I wish the game was longer because I wasn't ready for it to end. What an incredible experience. The first Bioshock felt like a horror movie while the second Bioshock felt more like a tragedy.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 14: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

[h3]Title: Bioshock 2 Remastered[/h3] Summary: Atmospheric fps game Personal notes: Bioshock 2 takes place several years after the first one, returning once again to the beautiful yet desolate underwater city of Rapture. I played the first two Bioshock games on the xbox growing up but skipped Infinite and decided to go back and play through all three and honestly, I had a blast. This time you play as Subject Delta, one of the first big daddies! Being able to switch the script from the previous entry and play as a big daddy, similiar to the ones who most likely terrorized you in the first was lots of fun. After gathering your bearings, you remember you were separated from your little sister, Eleanor. Navigate the remains of the shattered city in an effort to reunite with her all the while uncovering new areas, secrets and enemies... lots has changed over 8 years. The gameplay is the best part of Bioshock 2, combat feels more smooth and like a direct upgrade to the first. Plus playing as a Big Daddy made combat even more fun, hitting a splicer with a drill never felt more satisfying. The world and level design are still phenomenal, I feel like some of the mystery is gone but it's still a very immersive and atmospheric setting overall. Seeing it through different (delta's) eyes make it worthwhile the second time, despite being the same city. The story is solid yet I feel like it isn't as impactful as the first, feeling a lot more straightforward. I still enjoyed it all the way through but wasn't left nearly as stunned as the first. Audio is still very well done, similarily to the first. The ambient sounds along with the soundtrack maintain Rapture's eerie atmosphere perfectly. Voice acting is also quite strong across the board and feels realistic. Visually Bioshock 2 still looks great to this day thanks to the in-depth art direction. The visuals are slightly dated but the remaster helps quite a bit. On the downside, the remaster gets rid of multiplayer completely in addition to those achievements so keep that in mind if you care about those. I also felt like returning to Rapture, naturally loses some of the sense of discovery that made the first game so memorable. This game also felt slightly shorter than the first which was a little dissapointing, I was left wanting more lol. Achievement-wise, this game is also quite straightforward but does require some effort and attention such as finding all the audio logs or playing on the hardest difficulty setting. Nothing is crazy difficult if you know what you are looking for. All things considered, Bioshock 2 is a worthy follow up to an iconic game I played growing up. It improves on the gameplay, combat and continues to build the world of Bioshock succesfully. It might not have the same impact & mystery as the first and be slightly shorter in comparision but I had a great time returning once again to the unforgetable under water city. I would easily recommend this to those who enjoyed the first or those who enjoy story-driven/atmospheric shooter games. Time it took to complete: 20hrs Most difficult achievement(s): - Against All Odds (Finished the game on the hardest difficulty level.) - Research Master (Completed all research on every subject in Rapture.) - Enemy of the Family (Earned an A rank in all Protector Trials.) Difficulty rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10 Overall rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9/10
[h1] The Best Shock Game [/h1] Bioshock 2 is better than Bioshock 1 and miles ahead of Infinite, its a misunderstood masterpiece, gameplay and story are perfected and Minerva's Den twist blows the "would you kindly twist" out of the water. With that being said, the Remaster improves performance but crashes a lot. Don't let public opinion from tourists deter you from seeing this game for what it truly is, an improvement in almost everyway from its predecessor: An underrated gem.
BioShock 2 is a respectable and worthy follow up. You play as Subject Delta, a Big Daddy torn away from his bonded Little Sister, Eleanor, and forced to fight through Rapture to find her again. The story is smaller and more personal this time around. There is no massive "would you kindly" style twist, but instead you get something rarer: real emotional weight. Watching Eleanor grow and change based on your choices, seeing her react to your violence or mercy, that stuff hits hard. The soundtrack is absolutely breathtaking. Garry Schyman came back and delivered something truly special. It creates a beautiful, tragic atmosphere that no other game has quite matched. The level design is another win. You are not just retreading old ground. Every new area tells its own little story through audio diaries and environmental details. It feels lived in and broken in the best possible way. And then there is Minerva's Den. This DLC is nothing short of fantastic. The narrative here is so good that many fans, myself included, think it is easily comparable to the main story. The twist is brilliant and it proves that Rapture still had genius level stories left to tell. Now, let's talk about the remaster. TBH, it's a mess. The game crashes often and it freezes most of the time you open the menu. It really ruins the experience which is a shame as the game itself is awesome. For any players in the future I would highly recommend sticking with the original version. The remaster is just not worth the frustration. TLDR; BioShock 2 is a respectable follow up in the series. It has great combat, fantastic music, solid level design, and one of the best DLCs ever made. [h2] Pros: [/h2] - Better and more fluid combat than the first game - More mature themes, especially concerning family values. - Well written emotional story - Breathtaking soundtrack - Solid level design - Excellent voice acting - Minerva's Den DLC is one of the best dlcs in the game industry [h2] Cons: [/h2] - The antagonists are not as memorable as in the first game - The main story drags a bit in the middle [h1] Bioshock 2 overall rating: 10/10 [/h1] [h1] Bioshock 2 Remastered rating: 3/10 [/h1]
[h1]Объект Дельта, вас апгрейднули![/h1] Прекрасная игра в высоком разрешении. Подтянули текстурки! Но выпилили мультиплеер! [h3]В принципе – рекомендую, благо оригинал идет в подарок![/h3]

Ein so fantastisches Spiel, leider leider crashed es immer wieder, ohne Fehlermeldung ohne irgendeine klare information. Speichern kurz vorher nützt auch nichts, die Reparatur auch nicht. Hab den Ursprungsteil geliebt aber das Remake ist leider ne echte Enttäuschung was Fehlerhandling angeht,
