Don't let the crashes deter you

I put off playing BioShock 2 for a very long time, since the original release of the game had me experiencing horrible, constant stuttering. So I shelved it for years. It wasn't until this Remaster made its way to GOG that I finally decided to give it another shot and I'm very glad I did. This is without a doubt the best game in the series from a pure gameplay standpoint. Combat engagements are always fun. Swapping between your drill and your array of other weapons feels great. I wasn't sure how I would find Rapture after revisiting it after all this time, but the Rapture present in BioShock 2 is as incredibly beautiful and mysterious as it has ever been. Some of the levels present in this one even surpass the original in terms of exploration and environmental storytelling. As many others have already pointed out this Remaster is frequently prone to crashing. I must have crashed around 30 times over my 15 hour playthrough. Not exaggerating. It's sad that the game seems to have been left in this state but it surprisingly didn't harm my overall experience with the game. I just had that great a time with it. I definitely recommend BioShock 2 to anyone who has been putting it off.

A great game, now available DRM-free!

What else can I say, if you've never played Bioshock before, DO IT. Loved the bioshock games when they first came out and it's great to have them on GOG Also glad they're going to include the original games as I had some issues with the remasters, which I'm hoping are fixed now but if not then at least I'll have the originals to play

Owned 1&2 a while back on a console.

I'm leaving the same review for BioShock 1 & 2. I did not buy the remastered versions because I feel that BioShock 1 & 2 are EXCELLENT experiences to enjoy, and no other game quite nailed the feel that these two masterpieces give the player. That being said, For me anyways- they have very low replayability. They are strongly story driven with very fun gameplay mixed in that does not disappoint. After Playing BioShock 1&2 I did not feel like playing them again because I enjoyed the experience and the story very much and felt like I experienced everything the games had to offer. The games feel very long if you choose to complete everything that's given as a quest or a mission or a goal and I strongly recommend 100% completing the game because it makes it feel more immersive. It's not really the type of game that you feel you need to play more than once because once you know it, You know it. It stays with you and leaves you craving more but also leaves you satisfied. BioShock 1&2 are masterpieces that everyone EVERYONE should play ONCE. If you never played the original versions, get the remastered (I assume it simply looks better?) and ENJOY. This is great. (if it's simply a graphical touch up and nothing more) I don't recommend playing any sequels to the bioshock series after bioshock 1 and 2 because in my opinion they lose their touch and don't feel right. BioShock 1 and 2 are to me, like Mass Effect 1 is to the mass effect series. The sequels simply do not count. The originals are the ONLY TRUE ONES. Thanks to GOG for putting these great games here!

A Sequel That Improves Upon the Original

I didn't like the original Bioshock, but many of its faults are addressed in this game. You can now dual wield plasmids and weapons, money and ammo are distributed more evenly throughout the game, you don't feel like you're tripping on an alarm every 2 seconds and the hacking is much more streamlined (the pipe game is gone). However I do have to warn you not to play the remaster as it is prone to frequent crashes. How frequent? Well after my second crash in the final level I felt compelled to write this review before completing the game.

Exploitation game

I enjoyed B1 and Infinite, this one is more of a B1 fetish fest. I could not play it more than a few minutes. It screamed to my face "let us put together everything memorable from B1, a lot of it, and mix it together". No mystery, no immersion, it is as infantile as if some kids asked their entertainer to give them big daddies, little sisters and make a game out of it. A Bioshock themed shooter. You are overwhelmed with everything at once from the start, characters, splicers, logs in a big mess you can't even follow. The logs come from very different characters with cliche agendas, all crammed together in that random place you start in. I am not a purist, I wanted to like it, but this is not for me.
