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.
Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

one of the most capital letter F-U-N games ever
J'ai beaucoup aimé le premier Bioshock, celui-là est très bon aussi. A noter que je n'avais pas joué à la version originale. Graphiquement, il passe très bien, on retrouve l'univers steampunk glauque de Rapture. Les quêtes m'ont autant intéressé celles de l'opus précédent. [spoiler] A noter que même en faisant les choses "comme il faut" moralement, la fin est un peu triste. Belle, si on ne joue pas au salaud, mais triste. [/spoiler]

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.

I have played this game several times now. what i can conlude is nothing but an amazing game. The art, the architecture, the songs are very on point to when the stories takes place. Personally i love the plot, you will get through the up and downs throughout this game. I well recommed to try this and the prequel of this game.
Quizás no sea tan revolucionario e impactante como su antecesor y se crashee a cada rato la verga de juego, pero estamos ante una historia mas emocional a diferencia del primero, una mejor jugabilidad, nuevas armas y enemigos, y personajes muy memorables. Somos el sujeto delta, una maquina acorazada de matar con un corazon enorme. Muy buen juego, y dlc es una obra maestra.
I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOVE BIOSHOCK 2!
Ця частина мені сподобалася більше за першу. Геймплейно тут просто приємніше грати. Стрілянина стала відчутно кращою, механіки цікавіші, і загалом проходження менше душить (хоча процес рятування сестричок навпаки став душнішим, тому в грі є й погіршення). Але проблема першої частини нікуди не зникла: BioShock 2 — це все ще продукт свого часу, який сьогодні відчувається застарілим і буквально проситься на нормальний ремейк. Сюжет тут, з одного боку, мені сподобався більше. Він набагато персональніший. З іншого боку, оця вся тема з неокомуністами, мегаколективізмом і “особистість — зло, колектив — наше все” місцями настільки крінжова, що хочеться просто пропустити діалоги. Я розумію, що гра намагається щось сказати, але виглядає це доволі тупо та смішно. При цьому сама історія все одно працює краще, ніж у першій частині. Тут хоча б є особистий конфлікт, а не просто “ось вам черговий психопат-автократ, слухайте його аудіощоденники”. Та й фінал цього разу залишив значно приємніше враження. У підсумку: BioShock 2 для мене кращий за першу частину. Геймплей приємніший, сюжет більш особистий, а проходження загалом менше втомлює. Але це все одно гра, якій дуже не завадив би ремейк. І не просто через графіку — тут уже самі механіки, стрілянина, дизайн рівнів і подача історії відчуваються старими. P.S. Ще одне помітне покращення — аудіощоденники та субтитри. У першій частині я буквально не розумів половину того, що вони там говорили: звук був дуже нерозбірливий, а коряві субтитри не давали можливості хоча б нормально прочитати, що вони там кажуть. Тут же їх нарешті нормально чути. Я реально можу зрозуміти на слух, що персонажі кажуть, а якщо щось пропустив — завжди можна глянути в нормальні субтитри, які стали набагато адекватнішими: текст більше не вивалюється на екран величезними шматками, хоча іноді його все ще забагато.
I first finished BioShock 2 on Xbox. Years later, I bought it again on Steam—and I enjoyed it just as much. That alone says everything I need to say. Some games are worth experiencing more than once, and BioShock 2 is definitely one of them.
Awesome game, maybe even the best in the series. However, this port is ♥♥♥♥♥♥, much like the first game's remaster. You need countless mods and tweaks to get it working and even when you do (or pehaps rather [i]if[/i] you do) it still feels like you're walking on eggshells stability-wise, slamming on the quicksave button every 5 minutes. Can you get it working? Yes. Is it a chore? Yesss. Is this an acceptable state for the game to be in? No way. These games deserve so much better
