BioShock™ 2 Remastered

So I actually did like this sequel. I'm well aware, of it's reputation as a red headed stepchild in comparison to Bioshock 1 and Infinite and I can't exactly argue with people's opinions of it as such but I personally enjoyed the novelty of playing as one of the Big Daddies. Returning to the crumbling city of Rapture, this time you're a prototype big daddy without the zombification process and Little Sisters trust you intrinsically. You are a target for Splicers which added challenge to the gameplay and I liked setting up traps and fortitudes to protect my little sisters while extracting adam. I liked being able to venture in the ocean without threat of drowning. I loved The Big Sisters. They were actually very cool and terrifying. I will admit the story this time around is fairly shallow. There's a Lady cult leader that is trying to turn your original little sister into some kind of embodiment of adam. Obviously we're not into that and storm off to save her. There's no big twist this time around, no profound ideation about freedom and liberty. No mysterious back story. No redemption arc. Just kill the bad guys and save the princess. Can't deny this is still a fun game though and seriously effective as a horror game. I can't express the feeling of just lumbering about, minding your business when suddenly you hear the ungodly shriek of a Big Sister and have to desperately hunker down and fortify or get obliterated. Their visual design is iconic. They're super challenging, it's a legit marathon to stay alive most of the time. For me, it's fun but I definitely don't like to put it up against Bioshock 1 because that one's in the major leagues. It's like a 6/10 sorta deal. Not bad. It's decent.

The best BioShock. Improved upon the first entry, and is definitely better than Infinite. Quite a moving experience with great gameplay.

Игра огонь отпимизация на высоте, но вот русский язык твари забыли.

Muy buen juego, continuación del 1º, pero con novedades. La historia y jugabilidad son de 10, es muy divertido. Pero por algún motivo se crashea cada dos por tres, asique guardad partida frecuentemente. En general, recomendable, pero es viejo y se nota.

Compared to Bioshock 1, this game is a complete failure. However, it is playable and relatively acceptable in terms of overall satisfaction, only if you choose to play with "god mode" enabled and navigate the game solely for the relatively enjoyable story. 2K could do much more than this...

No issues with crashing when game is run in windowed mode...also turned off reflections. So far so good.

This is a great game whose reputation suffers from "sequel to a masterpiece" syndrome where the original is just too good to be topped, and as a result the sequel makes people feel let down. The narrative isn't as strong as the original BioShock which is without question one of the greatest ever assembled into this medium but is by no means bad. The gameplay is actually better in this game across the board versus the original. This game is like Uncharted 3 vs. 2 on the PS3 or Return of The Jedi vs. The Empire Strikes Back. Get mods from Nexus to improve texture quality; the remastered versions use compressed textures. This game doesn't crash at all on Linux... sorry Windows folks

Incredible. Not quite as good as the original, but still worth it.

I really liked this game. The only issue were to do with compatibility with Windows 11 but with just a few tweaks it was fine. It does lack the sinister feel of the first game but makes up for it with better combat mechanics
