The game itself is fantastic, one of my top 5 games of all time, despite it showings his age in several key elements such as graphical options, game saving system or couple gameplay design choices. I played the original game (not the remastered version) for the first time on Steam in 2010, back when it was still bundled with the horrible Games For Windows : it ran fine, never had any technical issue. I played the game maybe 4 times all together (on Steam) : no issue I also played Bioshock Remastered, Steam version; and it ran ok. The Bioshock 2 Remastered (Steam) version was the one who gave me so much trouble that I quit playing. I just couldn't bear the huge amount of crashes. Well well. I've been trying to play the GOG version (not remastered) for over 10 hours now : it is a technical mess that keeps crashing randomly despite applying every tweak possible (running it in windowed mode, lowing the resolution, disabling autosave...). I lost about 3 hours gameplay today because of corrupted save files. I even had to brutally force my window session to restart, many times, because the game froze and it was impossible to ALT + TAB or launch task manager. Playing a game should be an enjoyable experience. It should not be having to worry whenever a crash would happen and having to manually save your progress every 2 minutes. The game was poorly optimized back then, the remastered version even less optimized, and I guess all the broken windows OS + GPU accumulated updates don't help either. Maybe the game is worth it if you can run it on a old Windows XP/7 PC (maybe via a virtual machine?) but as its current state, if you're planning to play it on a modern PC, I'm afraid I can't recommend it at all.
