In BioShock 2, you step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big Daddy, as you explore through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and your own survival.

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): 7/day in the week to Aug 20 → 7/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

jogo incrível mesmo no fácil da um grande desafio e é bem divertido, história nem se fala
This is a great game whose reputation suffers from "sequel to a masterpiece" syndrome where the original is just too good to be topped, and as a result the sequel makes people feel let down. The narrative isn't as strong as the original BioShock which is without question one of the greatest ever assembled into this medium but is by no means bad. The gameplay is actually better in this game across the board versus the original. This game is like Uncharted 3 vs. 2 on the PS3 or Return of The Jedi vs. The Empire Strikes Back. Get mods from Nexus to improve texture quality; the remastered versions use compressed textures. This game doesn't crash at all on Linux... sorry Windows folks

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 14: 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.

Игра огонь отпимизация на высоте, но вот русский язык твари забыли.
So I actually did like this sequel. I'm well aware, of it's reputation as a red headed stepchild in comparison to Bioshock 1 and Infinite and I can't exactly argue with people's opinions of it as such but I personally enjoyed the novelty of playing as one of the Big Daddies. Returning to the crumbling city of Rapture, this time you're a prototype big daddy without the zombification process and Little Sisters trust you intrinsically. You are a target for Splicers which added challenge to the gameplay and I liked setting up traps and fortitudes to protect my little sisters while extracting adam. I liked being able to venture in the ocean without threat of drowning. I loved The Big Sisters. They were actually very cool and terrifying. I will admit the story this time around is fairly shallow. There's a Lady cult leader that is trying to turn your original little sister into some kind of embodiment of adam. Obviously we're not into that and storm off to save her. There's no big twist this time around, no profound ideation about freedom and liberty. No mysterious back story. No redemption arc. Just kill the bad guys and save the princess. Can't deny this is still a fun game though and seriously effective as a horror game. I can't express the feeling of just lumbering about, minding your business when suddenly you hear the ungodly shriek of a Big Sister and have to desperately hunker down and fortify or get obliterated. Their visual design is iconic. They're super challenging, it's a legit marathon to stay alive most of the time. For me, it's fun but I definitely don't like to put it up against Bioshock 1 because that one's in the major leagues. It's like a 6/10 sorta deal. Not bad. It's decent.
despite knowing the story it was still incredibly fun. i'll admit i got lost a lot but the area's storytelling makes up for it.
Game is really good this was the first time I ever played trhe story. It's diffrent than the original bioshock definitely more combat focused less of a strong story but it picks up toward the end of the game. If you haven't played Minervas den its really good more of an expereince you would find from the first game great story great peice of DLC. One thing to note is trhe default mouse sensitivy is a little high but if you have a superilight and running 800 dpi drop the sensivity to 2.0 its amazing on this sensivity so good.
The crashing is just unbearable. And more infuriating is that the game doesn't have a proper Auto-save feature (it only autosaves at the beginning of each level). Had to replay a whole hour just because i didn't save the game and it crashed during a fight. You are better off playing the original version (not remastered) of Bioshock 2.
Better then the first, except for the ending...
rockt auch 2026 noch :-)
