The first improvement revisiting BioShock 2 now was going into the options and turning the helmet hud off. How do you follow up one of the biggest and best FPS story titles of all time? Apparently the plan was with a multiplayer mode that was largely forgotten and a very heavy focus on the shooting. It always felt unbalanced and never quite up to the highest points of BioShock 1. I’ve always tried ( I’ve had it since launch for PC) but each time gave up about halfway, when the grind for ammo and survival became almost impossible. I never finished BioShock 2 until recently. It’s a fascinating idea to show off what could have been although technically not DLC as this was part of the remaster.ĭoes it hold up? – Not really.

Once loaded you are dropped in with no weapons into a Rapture styled museum which showcases dropped ideas, concept art and models. The only enjoyable experience to be had after the main game is over is a very interesting Museum mode. Although it does have some interesting ideas with the puzzles and a sense of challenge that requires a bit of creative thought, the entire DLC can be passed over and you won’t lose out on much. A short collection of puzzles that doesn’t really add anything to the main experience. I hadn’t even realised the original game had DLC until the remaster. This is where things start to go a little off the rails for BioShock. Stupid simplistic final boss and all.ĭoes it hold up? – Yes and then some! 9/10 BioShock 1 DLC From the way the game introduces you to the first big daddy to the entry into Rapture itself, the game is in a class of its own. Every inch of every level has magnificently crafted designs and the diaries are still a treat to collect and flesh out the world as you go. The pleasant side effect of this slower pace is taking time to appreciate just how well created everything in Rapture is. Unlike playing back in the day I no longer sprint through burst pipes and standing water, worried that the room might fill and the sense of urgency is diluted. The game does suffer from some padding in areas but overall the experience is still incredibly well polished. Taking pictures and shooting splicers is still a fun gameplay loop, managing of ammo and resources is still a little tedious but crafting mitigates this later on. Unlocking developer commentary by finding little reels was a nice extra and it turns out I still really enjoy the hacking mechanic, tinkering with plasmids and clearing the linear experience. Even knowing what is going to occur later in the game, it’s still a wholly enjoyable experience.

The story in BioShock is full of so many twists and little pockets of brilliance that it has really aged well. Loading up the Remaster though I shouldn’t have worried. Headphones on, no other focus and a blessed immersive escape from ‘I’m a Celebrity’ based TV.

Originally I upgraded my PC simply to play BioShock and it was setup as my only source of respite in a small crowded house on the dining table. I doubted it had aged well and I had a feeling my memory of it would be tarnished somehow. I was a little worried sinking back down into Rapture.

With the Remaster on PC, ports to all modern consoles and port to Switch, it was now time to dive back into Rapture on the PS4 and finish them both with all the trimmings.ĭo they still hold up though? Or do they deserve to be left on the ocean depths? BioShock 1 As much as I love BioShock I’ve never liked 2 and never managed to complete the story. I still have my embossed steel-box PC copy of BioShock 1 somewhere, residing next to the not-such-loved artbook edition of BioShock 2. It’s strange how I always remember the first game as the best example of a story driven singleplayer fps game and yet it fades back into memory. Luckily, none of the doors hide Plasmids, so you could get through the Bioshock 2 only opening the doors blocking story progression.Does it hold up? A feature where I have a look at games from the past and see if they are still as fun and playable now as you remember or if they are simply rose tinted memories.Įvery time I’m asked to list my favourite top 10 video games I always forget about BioShock then lament afterwards that it should be in there. We've also included the items and loot you'll get for unlocking the doors. These are the codes for all of Bioshock 2 and the Minverva's Den DLC. Bioshock 2 Door Codes (Including Minerva's Den) Luckily, we've rounded up all of the codes in one place so you won't get stuck anywhere. Some stand in the way of finishing the story, and if you're a completionist, others hide audio diaries that add to the game's ending, good or bad. Many of these guard extra rewards that help on higher difficulties and new game plus. As expected, there are quite a few vexing doors with hard-to-find codes.
