A nice little spin off / side story. It has everything Bioshock 2 offers and on top of that has exclusive weapons, plasmids and enemy types too. If you're itching for more Bioshock 2 this is your fix. 10/10

Minerva's Den is an extremely fun DLC. The story is great and has an insane plot twist, Using the new Ion Laser to dissolve foes and the Gravity Well to throw a powerful vortex that sucks up everything is amazing. But

The gameplay is great. The characters are peak. The story is excellent, including the twist at the end which you can technically called way before the reveal just by picking up the hints. I already said what everyone
