Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, 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.

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): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 21 → 2.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

[h1] 爱只不过是一种化学反应,是我们赋予了它意义 [/h1] 我在评测一代的时候说 ‘Bioshock当然不是一部完美的作品,我随手就能找出十个不重样的弃坑的理由。 与此相反,我要琢磨很久才能表达出它令人痴迷的特点。’ 对于Bioshock2,的确是没什么短板了。 无论是游戏性,气氛营造,剧情方面都是上乘。 也不会像bioshock被单调的游戏性和一些智障的游戏机制影响体验。 但背景题材画风相近,经历了一代,再难被惊艳了。 高山在前,确难有绝唱。 心向珠玉,已非比寻常。 9/10

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 7: 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.

It seems fun but it crashes very often. No matter what I tried it keeps crashing and having to repeat segments in between saves got old really fast.
Para mí es el mejor de la trilogía en jugabilidad, aunque la historia no me parece tan fuerte como la del primero y la de Infinite. El tema es que el port original está rotísimo, en su momento me comí una banda de crasheos y aun así lo terminé porque soy un cabezadura. Espero que en el remaster hayan arreglado todas las cagadas que tiene esta versión.
crap port, can't recommend any game that requires you to fix it for yourself. this version has multiplayer, the remastered version doesn't.
Buen juego, pero demasiado parecido al primero, se echa de menos mayor valentía a la hora de innovar, el 1º era un imprescindible, este es bueno sin más, parece una expansión y gráficamente es PEOR que el primero, cosa que para ser posterior al 1 considero inadmisible.
Following the critical acclaim of the original BioShock was no small feat. With the original developers at Irrational Games stepping away, BioShock 2 could have easily drowned under the weight of its predecessor. Instead, it resurfaces as a surprisingly thoughtful sequel — one that trades shocking twists for emotional depth and refines the series’ combat while returning players to the haunting ruins of Rapture. Playing as a Big Daddy changes everything. In a bold move, BioShock 2 casts you as Subject Delta — an early prototype of the lumbering, iconic Big Daddies. Far from being a mindless brute, Delta is agile and emotionally tethered to a specific Little Sister, offering a fresh perspective and an unexpected sense of vulnerability. Combat is faster and more fluid than in the original, with the ability to dual-wield plasmids and weapons, making for a more dynamic and responsive gameplay loop. Combat is more refined. Where the first BioShock sometimes stumbled with clunky encounters, BioShock 2 makes moment-to-moment action more engaging. Hacking is smoother, enemy variety is improved, and the ability to lay traps for incoming splicers during Little Sister protection sequences adds a strategic layer that actually works. A more personal story. Though it lacks the revolutionary narrative twist of the first game, BioShock 2 tells a more intimate and morally nuanced tale. The relationship between Delta and Eleanor (your Little Sister) becomes the emotional core of the game, and your actions throughout genuinely influence her development. It’s a story about parenthood, identity, and sacrifice — told through plasmid-charged chaos and quiet moments of compassion. Sophia Lamb makes a compelling antagonist. While she doesn’t quite reach the iconic stature of Andrew Ryan, Lamb is ideologically opposite: a collectivist utopian who believes in the sacrifice of the individual for the “greater good.” Her calm demeanor masks a ruthless fanaticism that gives the story a chilling edge. Rapture is still Rapture — and that’s a good thing. The environments are beautifully detailed, eerie, and immersive. New areas like the decrepit amusement park "Ryan Amusements" or underwater segments that show Rapture’s desolate majesty help expand the city’s lore in meaningful ways. It feels safe in some ways. While BioShock 2 deepens its world and mechanics, it doesn’t take the bold narrative risks that defined its predecessor. It sticks closely to a proven formula, which makes it more consistent but less surprising. Multiplayer is forgettable. The addition of a full multiplayer suite — while novel — feels unnecessary. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t match the tone or sophistication of the single-player experience, and it’s largely been forgotten. Some pacing issues. The middle section of the game can drag a bit, especially if you're thoroughly harvesting ADAM or searching for upgrades. It can create uneven momentum between the story beats. BioShock 2 might not have been the sequel people expected, but it turned out to be the one Rapture needed. With tighter combat, a touching story, and deeper moral nuance, it stands tall in its own right. It may live in the shadow of the first BioShock, but it brings a human heart to the cold steel of the diving suit — and that’s something truly special. If you loved Rapture and want more than just a return trip — if you want to see it through a new lens — BioShock 2 is absolutely worth your time. Rating: 8/10
hi 2k games can you stop spying on me? there's government agents outside of me house. this game is beautiful though, I like this and the remaster, but it does crash alot. Even with me on Windows 7, it barley runs. you should still play it, but perhaps on the XBOX or consoles, for me, it never crashed. only on computer.. 2k please the government is after me
so this is just spyware now? updates like this years after i bought the game should be illegal!
Not as good as the first one. I wish they had added more Plasmids. Playing as Big Daddy is cool though. The best thing about this game is the multiplayer if you can find a lobby to play.
