4.5/5 ★ – FerrumCrow's review of BioShock 2: Minerva's Den.

Played from – to: (2021-10-28 – 2021-10-29) - Beaten on PC via keyboard. ‣ 9/10 – Man creates a new stage of grief. ‣ Final notes: Since this is a narrative addition to the main game, I won’t rate any of the gameplay systems or other game parts besides the story, because they would be identical and would not provide what I think about the actual expansion of the game and how it enhances the game. Sorry, that was a lengthy sentence. What I am trying to say is, that the overall rating of this DLC will be based on my opinion and how much fun I had with the story. So, moving on, I think that Minerva’s Den is a fantastic expansion to the Bioshock universe. It tells a great short story about a small part of a huge city you spent so much time in already. It gives you a full new cast of characters with a few reappearing characters like Ryan, but overall, this DLC is its own thing barely connected with the main games events. At first this might seem like a boring adventure where you try to evacuate a random scientist, but the further you go it gets deeper and deeper, eventually revealing a very good twist. Remember how I said that Bioshock 1 had such a great plot twist that it would be impossible to mimic it, well I was wrong. Even though Minerva’s Den is a separate story I still recommend playing it, because the story is great, plus there are a few new plasmids and weapons for you to use.
