Unplayable crashing to desktop.
Peak game with fun multiplayer , A must play with friends, if you have those anyway.
Pretty fun game A bit much mechanics but Overall very enjoyable
This time you’re not just some random guy in Rapture — you’re a Big Daddy. Yep, a giant drill-arm, Little Sister–protecting, underwater tank of a dad. And it’s awesome. Gameplay is the best in the series: dual-wielding weapons and plasmids feels great, and combat is way more balanced and fluid than in the first game. The story is solid and more personal, but not as memorable as BioShock 1 and without that huge “wow” twist. Returning to Rapture is still great, but the sense of novelty is naturally smaller. The atmosphere is as strong as ever, and Minerva’s Den is an absolute must-play — honestly, it might be the best story in the whole franchise. Overall, it’s considered the “weakest” BioShock by some, but that really comes down to taste. If you’re here for refined gameplay, the Big Daddy fantasy, and that Rapture vibe, it’s 100% worth playing even in 2025. P.S.: Multiplayer existed… but you can forget about it.
Crashes within the first 5 minutes. BioShock games have a habit of crashing on PC.
Even tho the story is in my opinion not as good as the first one, it does expand on the gameplay side of things and adds a lot of stuff on top of the things that already worked in the previous game Another masterpiece if you ask me, nothing short of a really good and sometimes spooky time
I love this game BUT PLEASE COULD ANYONE HERE HELP HOW TO FIX CRASHES!!!?? THANK YOU 😭❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
They never optomized for pc you need use mods to fix
This game is a piece of art. I don't understand why it's so hated, I loved it. The gunplay is perfect, it's a direct upgrade from BioShock 1's. It's very satisfying and smooth, not clunky or stiff at all. The mechanics are all great, too. Hacking isn't a pain anymore like in the original game. You don't have to construct an entire pipeline; now, you just have to time your click on the green bars correctly. The story is decent. It's certainly not as beautifully written as the original, but it's still pretty well-done. The game introduces new enemies, like prototype Big Daddies and Big Sisters, which make the game more challenging and spice up the experience. There are also new weapons, like the Rivet Gun, the Drill, and the Spear Gun. These are neat additions that make the game more unique. I only experienced two crashes throughout my playthrough, both of which happened when entering the train to progress to the next level. Otherwise, the performance was excellent. I highly reco...
