BioShock™ 2 Classic is included with your BioShock™ 2 Remastered purchase
Minerva's Den Remastered DLC is included in BioShock™ 2 Remastered



BioShock 2 provides players with the perfect blend of explosive first-person shooter combat and compelling award-winning storytelling. The halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture. Players step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big Daddy, as they travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and their own survival.

Features:

  • High Resolution Textures, Models and Interface Art
  • 4K Resolution Support
  • The Protector Trials
    • You receive the call: Tenenbaum desperately needs you to steal as much ADAM as possible, to help thwart Sofia Lamb's insane plan. Enter the Protector Trials: frantic combat challenges designed to push your mastery of weapons and Plasmids to the limit. The goal in each Trial is simple: get your Little Sister to an ADAM-rich corpse and keep her safe while she gathers precious ADAM. Opposition mounts as your Little Sister nears her goal -- will you survive the onslaught?

      Each Trial features three unique weapon and Plasmid load-outs, keeping the challenge fresh, as well as a fourth bonus load-out the player receives when all previous load-outs are completed.


BioShock 2: Minerva's Den Remastered
Minerva's Den offers a brand-new, self-contained BioShock story, presenting a side of Rapture you've never seen before. Seek out the tools you'll need to unlock new goals and spaces in the order you choose. Face Rapture's full range of opposition as you increase in power---a new challenge is always right around the corner.

Expand your combat abilities with the experimental Ion Laser and chaotic Gravity Well Plasmid, unique to Minerva's Den. Face off against the new Lancer Big Daddy, the most advanced Protector that Rapture ever produced. Explore every shadowy corner of Minerva's Den, unraveling the mysterious past of The Thinker's inventor, and the dark secrets hidden within the unfeeling, omniscient machine he created.

Features:

  • High Resolution Textures, Models and Interface Art
  • 4K Resolution Support

Original looks better

The remastering team behind these amazing games should find a different occupation. In some cases the Original looks better or exactly the same as the Remaster on PC. But I did notice the improved Textures. Sometimes it made a little difference. But not a big one. I think you would notice a bigger difference comparing the Remaster to the 360 Version, it's definitely an Upgrade on Console. Just not on PC.

Crashfest the Game

The game itself is fantastic, but sadly it doesnt seem to be able to run on modern day hardware. In my experience I havent been able to play the game longer than an hour without experiencing a crash. Sometimes the game might last 15 minutes. It is a known issue and because the game doesnt autosave, often a crash means setting you back your whole session. Just don't do it to yourself and save your money.

Broken and NEEDS WORK!

It is INSULTING that such a broken product can be sold to ANYONE in this current condition!!! The game CONSTANTLY freezes and crashes! I have edited the games files to accomodate my PC's MORE THAN adequate specs but it STILL CRASHES! I even downloaded a patch to run the program in DX9 to no effect! SIMPLY UNACCAPTABLE that anything sold on here can be in such a horrendous state!!! FIX YOUR GAME 2K!!!!!

Still unstable in 2020

Stability Issues ruin this version of a classic. Tried a Fix involving increasing the dedication of graphics card memory, still crashes, sometimes after an hour, sometimes every 5 minutes. It's a shame, but I wouldn't buy this again even on sale. If you just want to blast through the story with a trainer and save every few minutes, maybe that's what this version is usable for.

A must-have for your games collection!

These games are very enjoyable now that the original DRM they shipped with has been stripped out (I had the originals, too, so I know what a pain they have been to configure and play on successive, better versions of Windows because of that awful original DRM scheme!) The 4k res is exactly what I thought it would be and on my Win10x64 system with an AMD Ryzen R5 1600 @ 3.8Ghz, and AMD 590 8GB, 16GB of DDR4 system ram @ 3200MHz, the game is as smooth as butter and plays very consistently--no problems with sound or frame-rate issues. Don't know why others report having problems, except to say that in the forum I read a post or two explaining that the GOG versions were newer than the Steam versions, apparently. @ $4.99 EA on sale, including the original versions as well, to be added at a later date at no charge, purchasing these games is a no-brainer.
