It is a similar gameplay experience to the sequel title, but with an even more intriguing plot than reuniting with your daughter was. While gameplay won't feel original, the engineered and technology-run world will.
At 800 MS points it's a bargain; with its gripping story, engaging new characters and fun new weapons, Minerva's Den is a product the late Andrew Ryan would most assuredly approve of.
Ultimately, Minerva's Den uses Bioshock 2 as a platform to tell a more personal, interesting story than 2K Marin and co. achieved with the game proper.
Rapture is getting old, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for 2K to wring interesting stories and characters out of the setting. That said, this is distilled and more accessible chapter in the Bioshock story, and if you liked the more action-oriented approach of the second game, Minerva's Den won't disappoint.
Best thing about Bioshock 2, with a great twist, using all the elements we love from Bioshock 1, and this DLC makes up for the Bioshock 2's main game being slow (apart from the ending).
When it comes to DLC, this is one of the best game add-ons I've ever purchased. The story is superb, and the experience is every bit as enjoyable as Bioshock 1 and 2.
If you liked Bioshock 2, you'll certainly like Minerva's Den. Solid story, fun new weapons, and interesting new plasmids. I don't usually buy DLC, but I purchased this on a whim and wasn't disappointed.
Minerva's Den is a great DLC for Bioshock 2. A good story for 2-3 hours, expanding the events of the Rapture story. Minerva's Den was created for those who did not have enough of the original. The story has almost no effect on the main plot. There's one plot twist and a boring final boss battle. Separately, I would not recommend buying, but Minerva's Den comes with Bioshock 2 Remastered
SummaryMinerva's Den is an all-new single-player focused downloadable game add-on for BioShock 2 that introduces new characters, locations and mystery to the world of Rapture.
