BioShock 2: The Protector Trials review
Exceptional
by Notly

«BioShock 2: The Protector Trials» is a «DLC» for «BioShock 2» that introduces a unique arcade mode, immersing players in a series of challenges centered around protecting the «Little Sisters».

Main Concept:
Players take on the role of a «Big Daddy», tasked with protecting a «Little Sister» as she gathers «ADAM» from corpses scattered throughout the levels. The gameplay focuses on holding a specific point, where the player must fend off waves of enemies trying to prevent the «Little Sister» from completing her collection.

Mechanics and Gameplay:
The main enjoyment of the game comes from the variety of challenges offered. Across six different levels, the player is given fixed sets of weapons and plasmids, requiring careful strategy and tactics. Each level presents unique conditions and enemy arrangements, pushing the player to use different approaches to succeed.

The mode resembles a version of «Horde Mode», where resource management and prioritizing targets are key. You’ll need to not only use your available tools wisely but also adapt quickly to changing battle conditions.

Impressions:
The «DLC» provides an engaging arcade experience that complements the main game perfectly. It’s an excellent way for fans of the «BioShock» universe to extend their time in «Rapture» while testing their skills under the pressure of limited resources and increasing waves of mutants.
