Good addition with lots of fun.

The DLC Minerva’s Den for BioShock 2 is a nice one. It has its own mini story in which you play as another Alpha Series, subject Sigma. It also has the Protector Trials which you can complete for some achievements.

The story is good and connects well with the original story of BioShock 2.

On graphics and sound, I have nothing to comment, those are the same as the original game.

The game features new weapons and a new Big Daddy type. It also gives you a reward if you complete the Protector Trials first, which are also included in the Minerva’s Den DLC.

There are a few minor complaints about this add-on like the bots and security that block your movement (just like the original game) and the sometimes poor parts of the story script when you are told things you already did, found or completed. It sometimes did not match with your progression. Also, the normal version of the DLC (so not the remastered) does have way more bugs like Splicers getting stuck in the walls.

Overall, BioShock 2: Minerva’s Den gives you a nice extra three hours of story and fun with new weapons and enemies.

Remaster is not that special, but still worth it.
