2Welcome back to my channel, dear gamers. As promised, while the main story of BioShock 2 may be concluded, we will stay in Rapture just a bit longer as we wrap up a brief but nevertheless important story DLC of BioShock 2, Minerva's Den. With that in mind, strap in, relax and enjoy the gameplay.
About Game: BioShock 2: Minerva's Den is 2010 First-Person Shooter with elements of Role-Playing Game and Survival Horror developed by 2K Marin and published by 2K Games. It is a DLC that was originally released as an paid downloadable expansion for BioShock 2 in May 2010, three months after the launch of the main game for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3. Upon release of the remastered version of BioShock 2 as part of the BioShock Collection in 2016, both Minerva's Den and another DLC expansion, Protector Trials, were included with the base game of BioShock 2 free of charge. Upon release, Minerva's Den was met with positive reviews from both the players and critics who praised the expansion's intimate atmosphere, storyline and gameplay but were critical of recycling of some gameplay elements that were also criticized in main BioShock 2. Regardless, Minerva's Den is today seen by many critics and gamers alike as a key component of the full experience of BioShock 2 and a well-made send-off to the story of Rapture with some even going as far as to consider the story of Minerva's Den superior to that of the base BioShock 2.
Story of the game takes place in the year 1968, concurrently with the events of the main story of BioShock 2 and follows Subject Sigma, Alpha Series Big Daddy who was reactivated and sent to Minerva's Den, Rapture's high technology district and location of the city's state-of-the-art computing machine known as The Thinker. However, as he approaches the district, a tunnel leading inside is destroyed by explosives, causing Sigma to be kicked out onto the seafloor and knocked out. Upon regaining consciousness, Sigma is contacted by Charles Milton Porter, founder of Rapture Central Computing who survived the past decade of chaos in Rapture and plans to recruit Sigma in order to acquire The Thinker's base code and blueprints before escaping the dying underwater city. As he wasn't bonded to any Little Sister prior to his activation, Sigma is able to oblige Porter's request and enters Minerva's Den via its outer airlock. However, once inside, Sigma quickly realizes that just like the rest of Rapture, Minerva's Den wasn't spared the destruction of the civil war as its halls are full of violent Splicers led by Reed Wahl, Porter's former collegue who went insane due to his ADAM addiction with his ADAM-addled delusions causing him to become obsessed with Thinker to the point of psychosis as he started seeing the machine's extremely advanced abilities as a key to "everything". With Porter telling him that he will have to make his way into Minerva Den's operations area to find the computer's code and the enterance into the area being locked down with a special magnetic lock, Sigma is forced to search three main businesses within central part of Minerva's Den in order to track down a gravity-reversing plasmid that could overload the magnetic lock and let him into the operations area. As he investigates the area and fights off Wahl's Splicers, Sigma also learns more about Porter's and Wahl's history, discovering that two founded Rapture Central Computing together and had joint control over The Thinker, whose abilities were used to control automation and other important functions within Rapture with the issues starting once two men's vision for the computer started to clash as Wahl used The Thinker for personal gain by predicting betting scores and stock market changes to invest accordingly while Porter tried to use The Thinker's artificial intelligence to effectively revive his wife, Pearl who was killed during Nazi bombings of London in World War 2, by slowly uploading the the data about her into The Thinker's AI. As social unrest in Rapture started to grow more pronounced, Wahl, who wanted the control over The Thinker all for himself as his ADAM addiction worsened, falsely framed Porter as the supporter of Frank Fontaine, causing Andrew Ryan and his government to have Porter removed from his position in Rapture Central Computing and imprisoned...
