    Está opacado por Bioshock infinite y Bioshock 1, por ello se "cree" que es muy mal juego la gente pero realmente es un juego que está bien, obviamente es el más flojo pero tiene una historia entretenida y la jugabilidad para mi es mejor que los otros juegos.

    Everytime I play BioShock 2, I like it more. Is definitely not as good as the first game, but still one the best FPS I've ever played.

    Overall a very good game. While there were obvious improvement to the gunplay as compared to the original Bioshock, the story is much less engaging. The DLC is great and I still recommend those who liked Bioshock to play the sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I only just played Bioshock 2 for the first time as part of the Remastered Collection on PS4 and I have to say I really enjoyed it! I think it was an improvement on the first game on pretty much every way, from the characters to upgraded game mechanics, new exciting enemies and the much improved hacking! For me the story of Delta is a lot more interesting and hits a lot harder than it did for Jack, for one the whole idea of your choices influencing the kind of person (or monster) Eleanor will become resonates a lot more with me than Jack’s mind control. Also in Jack’s happy ending he got to live a full life with his adopted family whereas Delta was doomed regardless of what you do making it all the more poignant. Bioshock has always been great at making you feel for it’s tragic monsters even if you are forced to gun them down, I always feel terrible when I have to kill a Big Daddy to rescue a Little Sister or when I see a forlorn Big Daddy wandering around looking for his Little Sister once I have rescued them all. Bioshock 2 is even better at this, with the grief-stricken Alpha Series on a suicidal rampage to Sinclair and Gil who beg you for death and even the Big Sisters, they may be the most dangerous thing in Rapture and very much trying to kill you but they are just scared teenage girls who have gone mad from their brainwashing failing. Anyway this is all round a great sequel to the original one and I can’t wait to see what happens in Infinite.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Perfect sequel to the original.

    The first BioShock was, and still is, the best game I played in my life and BioShock 2 is in every way an amazing sequel that follows the story from the first game very well. Everywhere are pieces of the story that fits perfectly with the whole series. History from the first game, the founding of Rapture and the many mad scientist experiments that happened there.

    You play as a Big Daddy this time, so the perspective is completely different. You feel like a Bouncer Big Daddy right away from the start of the game. It is a really great idea.

    The graphics and gameplay in BioShock 2 have been greatly improved. It has the same atmosphere and feeling like the first game but looks way nicer. The mechanics, like dual wielding plasmids and guns is also a big plus. The sound is also improved, when you shoot the living sh!t out of a splicer, you hear your bullets impact in their twisted body’s.

    The new weapons and enemies in the game are very well balanced and add new strategies you can use to defend yourself against enemies, like the hack tool turrets for example.

    The game has the same moral decisions from the first game. How you treat people in this game determines your ending. I, of course, am a good guy so I saved everything and everyone.

    There were some minor irritations like the hacked security bots that constantly blocks your movement in small spaces and the same goes for Eleanor when you rescued her. Also, the constant “father, father I love you father, we will be together father, oh father” got really on my nerves sometimes but despite this the game was good, incredibly good.

    I had some technical issues in the beginning where the difficulty kept resetting itself but thanks to a tip from a Steam community member if fixed this.

    The DLC is fun to play and rewards you with special items.

    The strong story is the best part of this game and because of it, along with the improved mechanics and pace, I enjoyed every minute of it.

    The original game from 2010 still has the multiplayer function and it is, surprisingly, still active and has a whole community behind it that plays. With this people it is lot of fun to do.

    I definitely recommend BioShock 2, Remastered or original.    … Expand

    The new gun system was an improvement. Now each weapon gets 3 upgrades at power to the people stations, which adds a little more variety. I really like the ability to combine cyclone traps with other plasmids. Though the method of doing so is a little clunky unfortunately.

    The new plasmid system is also good. Plasmid upgrades are more interesting and contribute more than the first game. The down side is that there might be times where plasmid upgrades get in the way of others. And the need to charge plasmids is annoying sometimes. Like electro bolt for example. I think it would have worked better if the chain lightning was passive without the need to charge, and the big storm move was more like the way Infamous did arc lightning. Especially if you have to charge for both the level 2 and 3 conditions to be met. I'm also not a fan of the scout plasmid and would take a returning sonic boom over that one any day. Either way, the new plasmids are a great new addition.

    The new hacking tool is a good addition. It helps to avoid the repetitive pipe minigame from the first Bioshock. However, after a while, I kind of started to miss the old system. I think it would have been cool is if hacking the normal way would have used the original method while doing it with the hacking tool would have used the new one

    Some of the mechanics carried over from the first game also unfortunately don't work as well here. While I like the idea of the new research camera, I feel like it created more problems than it solved. Not only is it disorienting to switch between the camera and other weapons, but it's always so hard to try to remember which methods I used to beat an enemy before so I can use a new method. And because you have to use it in a fight, you can't take pictures of little sisters or stand back and take pictures. You also can't take pictures of multiple subjects. I feel like the research camera should have been dropped. It was cool in the first game, but by the second, it was overstaying it's welcome.

    The new story is cool, but unfortunately it creates problems and plot holes.

    The med kits and eve hypos also could have been improved. Unlike the first game there's no way to manually use an eve hypo. So I have had many times where I was over capacity and I just fired plasmids in order to drain my eve and force a hypo to be used.

    Unfortunately, there have been a lot of technical issues. This game has crashed on me a lot. Apparently it has something to do with DirectX10 or draw distances or something. I don't know. But it's bad. Sometimes it will crash as soon as it opens. Even after I lower the graphical settings and shut down every background task on my computer. Because, I guess the PS1 graphics were just too much for my RTX 3070.

    In it's defence, this game was designed for Windows 7, which no one uses anymore. So, a little leniency is fair. Plus, I'm sure that if I made the game emulate windows 7 in launch, that might also help.

    In general, this is still a solid follow up to the original Bioshock.    … Expand

Why? Because of the original Bioshock. Hear me out, Bioshock 1 is probably one of the best videogames ever made and everyone has already acknowledged that by this point so the star of the original Bioshock shines so bright it literally overshadows the excellence of Bioshock 2. Is Bioshock 2 worse than Bioshock 1? No, not in a single aspect, quite the opposite - in terms of gameplay it is definitely superior (Bioshock 2 probably has the best gameplay I have ever seen in my life - it really feels as though you could play the game for days and never get bored. Every encounter with an enemy turns into a mini-war with its own tactics and strategy which depends on the type of the enemy, their number, surroundings, your health and eve conditions, your plasmids and your ammo. This game pretends to be a first-person shooter when in reality it is a first-person strategy.) and the final sequence is much stronger than the original's one (Usually I like how videogames end but I am not sure I have ever seen a PERFECT ending...until I finished Bioshock 2. Of course your ending might differ from mine but since I choose to harvest all Little Sisters I got probably the "darkest" one and believe me that ending IS exactly what it should be - it left me literally speechless not because it was epic or something but because it was so logical, so suitable, so on point). Is Bioshock 2 as revolutionary as Bioshock was in 2007? Of course not and it doesn't have to - a game doesn't have to be revolutionary to be a great game, right? Bioshock 2 is still the same good old Bioshock from 2007 but just with different story and improved game mechanichs and that's, in my opinion, should be enough to be regarded as one of the best games of the past decade but for some reason Bioshock 2 rarely pops up as a top contender for that nomination all thanks to the fact Bioshock 1 has all the attention.… Expand

    Bioshock 2 felt more like a DLC, rather than a sequel. It is a very solid first-person shooter experience but it does nothing new. Bioshock 2 is the odd child and while it is still a worthy experience, it's the one that you can forget about immediately after you finish the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BioShock 2 benim bugüne kadar oynadığım en iyi Aksiyon-Birinci Şahıs Nişancı oyunlarından birisiydi. Serinin ilk oyunu da çok güzeldi -zaten ikisinin hikayeleri bağlantılı- ancak bu oyun kesinlikle çıtayı arşa çıkarmış. Hikaye ile başlayalım, oyun ilk oyunun 2 sene öncesinde, yani 1958'de başlıyor. Oyunda Eleanor Lamb isimli Küçük Kız Kardeş'in Koca Baba'sı olan, ismini bilmediğimiz kod adı "Denek Delta" olan birini oynuyoruz. Yani kontrol ettiğimiz karakter bir Koca Baba. Eleanor Lamb'in annesi, psikiyatrist Sofia Lamb'in Eleanor'u bizden alıp zihin kontrolü plazmitini kullanarak elimize bir silah veriyor ve intihar etmemizi emrediyor. Kaskımızı çıkarıp silahı kafamıza doğrultuyoruz ve tetiği çekiyoruz, her şey buradan sonra başlıyor. 10 yıl sonra ilginç bir şekilde Rapture'un dibinde uyanıyoruz, kurşundan sonra ölmediğimiz anlaşılıyor. Bu sırada, 10 yıl boyunca bizim baygın olduğumuz süre içinde BioShock 1'deki olaylar gerçekleşmiş oluyor ve bambaşka bir Rapture'a uyanıyoruz. Yani hikaye buradan sonra ilk oyunun sonrasını konu almaya başlıyor, ilk oyunda öldürdüğümüz Andrew Ryan'ın ardından Rapture'un kontrolünün Sofia Lamb'e geçtiğini öğreniyoruz. Bizden kurtulduktan sonra, Sofia Lamb Koca Baba sistemini ortadan kaldırıp, yerine "Büyük Kız Kardeş" modelini geliştirdiğini öğreniyoruz. Büyük Kız Kardeşler, yanlarında bir Koca Baba'ya ihtiyaç duymuyorlar çünkü fazlası ile güçlüler, oyunda yenmesi en zor düşmanların da Büyük Kız Kardeş'ler olduğunu belirteyim. Ardından Koca Baba'ları ve Küçük Kız Kardeş'leri ortadan kaldırmaya çalıştığı için çaresiz bir durumda kalan, ilk oyundan hatırladığımız Tenenbaum ile karşılaşıyoruz ve kendisine Küçük Kız Kardeşler'ini kurtarması konusunda yardım ediyoruz. Buradan sonra oyun Elanor'un izini sürüp bulmaya çalışmamız ile geçiyor, aynı zamanda Andrew Ryan'da aralarında bulunmak üzere ilk oyundan hatırladığımız bazı karakterlerin de ses kayıtları ile zaman zaman karşılaşabiliyoruz. Oyunun sonlarına doğru ise Elaenor'u buluyoruz ve Elaenor da bir Büyük Kız Kardeş olup Rapture'dan kurtulmak için bizimle birlikte savaşıyor. Oyunun sonunda ne olacağı ve Sofia Lamb'in akıbeti oyun boyunca verdiğiniz kararlara göre şekilleniyor ve oyun o şekilde son buluyor. BioShock 2'nin çok güzel işlenmiş ve heyecanı oyuncuya hissettirebilen bir hikayesi var. Ben hikayeyi çok beğendim. Oynanış olarak fizik motoru ilk oyundakinin aynısı, ancak geliştirmeler yapılmış. Yani anlayacağınız fizikler ilk oyunun biraz üstünde, ortalama sayılır. Oyundaki savaşlar çok hızlı ve heyecanlı olduğu için "canlandırma tüpü" olayı hariç hiç sıkmıyor ve oyun kendini oynatıyor. Yakın dövüş ve plazmitler bu oyunda ilk oyuna göre oldukça geliştirilmiş ve hem yakın dövüş hem de plazmit kullanımı ilk oyuna göre çok daha rahat ve keyifli. Hack olayı da kolaylaştırılmış ve makineleri uzaktan hackleyebilmemize yarayan bir silah oyuna eklenmiş, bunlar da çok yararlı geliştirmeler olmuş. İlk oyundaki zor ve zaman kaybettiren hack sisteminin kaldırılması yerinde bir geliştirme. Ateşli silah kullanımı ilk oyunla neredeyse aynı, yani vuruş hissi vasat bu silahlarda. Ancak pompalı tüfekteki vuruş hissiyatı diğer silahlara göre daha tatmin edici bir hisse sahip, onu da söyleyeyim. Atmosfere gelirsek, BioShock 2'nin Rapture'u benim bugüne kadar gördüğüm en iyi oyun şehri olabilir. Atmosfer tek kelime ile inanılmaz, oyunu sadece manzaralara bakmak için oynayabilirsiniz. Şehrin her kısmı özenle modellenmiş, ben remastered sürümünü oynadım ve grafikler bugün bile sırıtmıyor. İyi yapılmış bir remaster ile harika bir atmosfere sahip şehrin birleşmesi inanılmaz olmuş. Atmosfer konusunda oyun kusursuz. Onun dışında, ilk oyundaki yükleme süresi probleminin bu oyunda da olması beni üzdü. Oyunu SSD'den oynamama rağmen hızlı kayıt aldığım zaman 3-4 saniyelik bir yükleme ekranı geliyor ve bu hiç güzel değil. Yine ilk oyunda olan ölünce canlandırma tüpünden doğma olayı ne yazık ki bu oyunda da devam ediyor ve bunun olmasına üzüldüm. Çünkü bana kalırsa bu oyunun atmosferine uygun değil, onun yerine hızlı kayıt alıp öldüğümüz zaman en son kayıttan başlamalıydık. Oyunu oynadığım süre boyunca sanırım sadece bir tane hata ile karşılaştım, o da çok küçük bir hataydı göze batmadı. İlk oyunda daha fazla hata ile karşılaşmıştım, bu oyunda hataların önüne geçilmesi beni mutlu etti. Sona gelelim, BioShock 2 muazzam atmosferiyle, iyi yazılmış karakterleriyle, oyuncuyu içine çeken harika hikayesiyle, eğlenceli, hızlı ve aynı zamanda akıcı oynanışı ile Aksiyon-Birinci Şahıs Nişancı türünün en iyi oyunlarından biri, hatta belki de en iyisi.… Expand

You can launch yourself around and deflect projectiles, giving the game a completely different approach if you didn't want to use guns. There is a much larger variety of enemies in Bioshock 2. The game challenges your use of plasmids and weapons more so than it's predecessor. I love how the game grouped the gene pools together, such that it's less cluttered when managing. Though I wish there were plasmid previews before purchasing, cause I never know what some plasmid upgrades actually do. The explanation is not that good. I still wish there was an easier way to manage your weapon and plasmid shortcuts though. You get so many along the way, that you can easily get mixed up during an intense battle. There were times where I just settled with a less optimal weapon because cycling through to the right one would take too much time, and I'd take too much damage. Though with multiple play throughs, I can imagine speed running through Bioshock 2 would be quite fun.

    The narrative is one of the strong points of the game as usual. There are plenty of dialogue that enriches the story as you progress. Plenty of characters have various agendas, and don't always align with the ideologies of Sofia Lamb. This draws into question of their real intentions. I was questioning my ally for a majority of the game, assuming he had ill intentions. But in the end, he proved to be a good guy, who sacrificed himself. I enjoyed the ending as well. It nicely reflects the moral choices you've made on your journey.    … Expand
