“Power to the People” in the context of BioShock 2 is a pivotal concept that encapsulates the game’s central theme of rebellion and empowerment. It refers to the struggle of the denizens of Rapture, an underwater dystopia, against the oppressive rule of its founder, Andrew Ryan.
The slogan “Power to the People” becomes a rallying cry for the resistance movement led by Subject Delta, the game’s protagonist. Through strategic alliances with other survivors and the use of powerful weapons and abilities, the resistance aims to overthrow Ryan’s tyrannical regime and establish a more just and equitable society within Rapture.
