    This game gives me very mixed feelings. The story, graphics and gameplay are all fantastic and a great step up from the original.

    -Optimisation is terrible, with an i7 and GTX 1080, at 1080p im struggling to even maintain a 50-60fps framerate on ultra settings, with anti-aliasing at TXAA 1x

    -Mouse sensitivity is tied to FPS, so it is extremely hard to aim, especially with how jumpy and unpredictable the FPS is currently.

    -Pre-order bonuses. For most this doesnt matter, but trying desperately to tempt people into pre-ordering is always a bad sign in my opinion. And in this case it seems like they were doing it because they knew reviews would be mixed with its current state.

    Overall, a very good and exciting game and a fantastic sequel to the original. But the port and optimisation need some serious work. i would not consider this game 'finished'    … Expand

    - Although the levels have become more big, but it doesn't feel that the character runs through the city, for there are almost no civil NPC.
    - New voice of the Outsider is awful.
    - "F Skip button" which cannot be disabled in every cutscene.

    I am reviewing this game in the state it is NOW. It runs perfectly well on my hardware (FX-6300 + R9 380) @ 1680x1050 and high settings. The game is good. more or less the same as the original. A little overrated.

    Good storyline and the same fun action/stealth aesthetic of the first, but the world building feels lackluster in comparison and the idea of playing one of two characters feels like a cheap way to get some more hours of playtime out of you. As well, easiness on the verge of becoming boring still plagues this sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the original Dishonored and loved it – even played through a second time to get the low chaos ending. Bought the DLCs and loved them. So I’m coming into Dishonored 2 with high expectations. And I’m feeling let down. Here are my thoughts, in no particular order:

    • First off, I’m playing on a Windows 10 machine with a Core i5 and a GTX-970. I’m through chapter 6 and I’ve had one crash and noticed a few minor graphic anomalies like walking around a corner and seeing a wall appear, but that’s it. Nothing that really impacts playability.

    • I’m playing as Emily (as I’m guessing many are since we played as Corvo in the first game). I’m not enthralled with her powers. Outside of her Far Reach, Dark Vision, and Domino, I’m not using much. I’ve done the Shadow Walk once or twice, but I probably could have accomplished the goal with Far Reach as well (and the animation when you knock someone out with Shadow Walk power is just freaky – as in make me cringe freaky).

    • I’m going for low chaos, so all the powers about killing and more health, strength and shadow kill are wasted on me.

    • The world feels empty. Yes, there are now people on the streets in some places, but they don’t really do anything – they just stand there and shadow box or saw wood. In fact I find it annoying because I can’t tell who is an innocent and who will try to attack me until I interact with them.

    • I hate the hub – the Dreadful Whale. D1 had the Hound Pits pub, which 1) had several people around that gave the place a sense of life, and 2) was a great playground to try out abilities. I could practice blink-racing across the area, or see how high I could climb and get a good feel for how to manipulate my powers. I’ve tried a few times to get to the top of the mast and stand on the little platform up there but I fail every time. Bummer. I also enjoyed the rivalry between Piero and Sokolov in D1 and watching that play out, but I haven’t found any “life” like that in this game.

    • *** SPOILERS **** There are some collectables that seem really oddly placed. In D1 I recall that there were multiple paths to get anywhere. In D2, for example there is this rune in the basement of the Asylum that you can only get to by taking the elevator to the top and then cutting the cables to send it crashing into the basement – neither obvious nor stealthy. There is another one in a locked room in the basement of the Conservatory that you need to find a key for. In D1 I’d expect a rat-tunnel or window transom as an alternate path.

    • Hate the new Dark Vision. With the orange on orange is really hard to see what’s what. D1 did this much better.

    • Finicky Controls – Far Reach and it’s pull are really hard to aim right. There seems to be a really small window when aiming that will get you “up” on something. As an example, I was working my way across the Conservatory level and ended up on the spinning light tower in the middle. I could see the balcony I wanted to get to. I walked out on the end of the “gangplank” and as the tower was spinning there was a small window of time where I was close enough to make the leap. But I could never get the aim right. After about 10 failures I gave up and found an alternate path.

    • Lack of feedback when your actions affect the world. As an example, there is one area that requires you to walk across pressure plates to move some walls. I was seeing the walls moving but had no idea I was making it happen. It took some research online to understand what was happening. After I knew that, looking down at my “feet” (which aren’t really there) I could see the plate depress when I “step” on it, but if I’m not looking at the floor I never would have seen that. An audible click would have helped immensely to let me know at I just did something.

    • Overall feeling of sadness. In D1 I was Corvo, wrongly accused of murdering the Empress and thrown in jail, only to escape and work with a band of crusaders to overthrow those responsible. In D2 I’m Emily, my throne has been usurped and I’ve been thrown in my room, only to escape and … slink off to another city to try to uncover the backstory of my usurper, all the while spending my down time in a rusty stinky hulk of a ship.

    There are more things that bug me, but that’s enough to give you a feel for it. In the end I’ll finish the game to see how the story plays out, and then shelve it. Very doubtful I’ll replay it or get any DLCs if they come out.    … Expand

So the review willAfter the latest patch the technical problems with this game seem to be solved. I have two computers one old one new and both can now run the game smoothly if you take take the time to adjust graphics settings properly. On the new computer (nvidia 1050 ti) the game looks very good with very high texture quality. On the old one it looks satisfying and still runs smoothly. So the review will be based on game play rather than technical issues.

    The problem with this game is that it employs RPG mechanics (various perks that improve your character) while being very different from typical RPG games. An RPG game will reward you for all the standard activities you do in the game: fighting, discovering new locations and completing quests. You can then use the experienced gained to improve you character. In this game doing all these things gives you nothing, literally nothing. You can go through successive missions with only minimal increase in your character capabilities until you reach the situation when the further progress is impossibly hard because you are simply too weak. In a standard RPG game you can then change your quest, go elsewhere, farm experience and return when you are ready. But not here. Dishonored 2 is in fact a strictly linear game where you go from A to B to C ... and you can never return to previous locations once you finished them. It is even worse than that. Whenever you reach an essential quest location (typically a large building) you will be locked there until you finish the quest. No chance for extra farming at all. And the farming consists in looking for runes which are dispersed all over the world in hidden locations that have nothing to do at all with doing any questsl. So you will have to waste your time scavanging empty building or sewers just to find runes without which you will not be able to play at a decent power level. But you will only learn that this is so maybe 2-3 missions into the future when there will be no coming back and the only option will be to restard the campaign. I find such design tiresome and a pointless waste of time.
    As to the combat it would be interesting and challenging if it were not for the fact that the loading times after getting killed are atrocious. And you will die over and over again if you try to fight your way (especially when being undefarmed) because you die after receiving just 2 hits and multiple opponents will wield pistols. Then there are clockwork soldiers that are totally immune to all your basic attacks. They are essentially invincible. They are in fact 2x worse than deathclaws in Fallout as deathclaws can be beaten even with basic weapons if you have the skill and patience. But the clockwork soldiers just take zero damage from your attacks. Fun like hell. After dying like 20 times to them in a locked room and fighting for 10 seconds and reloading 1 minute each time I called it quits. I will restart the campaign and try again developing my character more carefully but I am not sure if I will want to waste my time crawling in sewers which have nothing to do with the main quest. So this is a strictly linear game with shallow rpg mechanics that forces you to waste your time on boring activities detached from the story and quests. 7 is the resulting score.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dishonored 2
    More like Dishonored .5
    if you’re expecting a more polished and more awesome version of dishonored with Dishonored 2...
    Sorry to break your heart, pun intended…
    But this game feels more like a cheap DLC than a proper sequel
    it even looks like dishonored 1... A 4 year old ps3 game
    the game starts out with you conveniently training the now Empress Emily on being an assassin…
    It introduces new ideas and mechanics to the dishonored series like sliding and jumping... but you use none of this throughout the campaign…
    Emilys Aunt comes to take her place on the throne and its then you choose who you play as, Corvo from Dishonored 1 or the Emperess Emily,
    I chose Emily as she introduces a new set of magic to the game…
    And you have to save whoever you don’t choose and retake the crown…
    Your choice does not change the campaign, but will of course change the story.. So there is incentive to play twice...
    Which unfortunately if you want to feel you got your moneys worth youll have to do as my run through with Emily took only about 5 hours and 40 minutes…
    Nothing has really changes since dishonored 1, except level design got noticeably worse…
    There are 2 levels that are pretty cool puzzles that will definitely test your patience, but these 2 levels are the only 2 of the 9 that live up to this series standards..
    The rest all feel uninspired, and therefore I felt no urge to explore them…
    And creating such boring worlds to explore is bad for the player and hurts the gameplay because of how inaccessible magic and upgrades are in this game…
    If you aren’t willing to try and figure out how to get to a rune behind some annoying locked door.. you’re not going to have fun at all playing this game as upgrades and magic are so expensive and are mistakenly not unlocked with story progress…
    I felt the same about the original.. But it’s even worse here due to how inaccessible everything is...
    Magic should be given to you as you progress through the story and the level design should be crafted around this magic…
    There is an option to do a no magic run here as Emily, but even still… theres potential to turn this into 3 different campaigns centered around each characters magic or lack there of…
    Instead theyd rather annoy you by hiding the runes in frustrating spots like they don’t want you to have fun with their game..
    Well congrats Bethesda, you win...
    I didn’t have fun at all…
    Upgrades are also only available at shops… and for ridiculous prices that you won’t be able to afford unless again, you spend the time to explore these poorly designed levels with horrible progression indication…
    I understand the whole point of dishonored is to place you in a world and let you go..
    But there should still be some sort of direction designed into the world…
    For example one of the later missions I was stuck in a room forever trying to leave, only to google and find out everyone else had problems with this spot to… there was a button next to the door you were supposed to hit.. The game never tells you to look for a button to proceed, it just gives you a locked door... and it’s a Bethesda game so naturally one would assume, this is a bug... no... Just bad design.
    The hand to hand combat here is just as bad as it was in the original, now however there are ways to just knock enemies out instead of killing them in combat which makes a non-lethal run much easier to obtain, but the stealthy approach is still the more satisfying option…
    Dishonored 2 is everything we already got…
    Sneak around, take people out, get detected and sword fight or gun fight…
    Disable electric walls A dash of magic all in a less inspired world… with like 1 and a half hours of awesomeness from 2 levels.
    Set your standards low… It’s nowhere near as good as the original.

    Graphics, sound, all ok. Setting and story isn't that bad, writing is ok. I have a good PC so no perf problems (though a bit slow admittedly).

I guess this is as much of a stealth game as like, call of duty. In fact forget it, call of duty actually has more stealth mechanics than this.

    Robots, enemy positioning, patrol routes, skills, upgrades, runes ....etc are all specifically made to make stealth not actually work. The gun ho approach is more fun and better, except there's better gun ho games out there.

    Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Tries to be action game and is designed specifically to tell you to stealth. Tries to be a stealth game except everything is designed to make stealth not actually work with no gameplay or tools at your disposal to actually stealth.

    One glaring example is the robots. On a stealth playthrough, what do you do to robots? Avoid them? Patrol routes designed specifically make them specifically unavoidable. Stealth kill them? Mechanics make that specifically impossible to do or take way too many resources. Kill them? That will raise alarms and ruin the usefulness of your stealth style upgrade investments, so in fact they're not that easy to kill with no upgrades.

    The last game suffered from the same problem, but it's MUCH MUCH more glaringly worse this time. They need to fire their entire gameplay design team and hire one that can actually design a stealth action game. The old design team can come help us make more call of duty titles.    … Expand

    She is boring. I understand that world of the game is not a funny one, but do she really has some personalities that devide her in a good way from Corvo? Emotion spectre that they bring to you is the same (and its gray).
    Corvo also doesnt really work for me this time, he doesnt open up as a new deeper more complex person he is just old dad/man with quite a boring motivation.
    2. Lots of ways of killing - but concentration on peacefull playthrough. I dont know, maybe some kind of non-deadly bullets (from rubber idk) for pistol and more ways of disabling folks might change this?

    While the game tries to somehow pack these single missions together, it really reminds me about the random quests one has to endure in countless RPGs.
    Somewhat detracting from the fun as well is the AI, which has spotted me several times, while I was cowering behind walls or obstacles.

    So to sum it up, I've bought a game that hasn't got a great story going for it, the plot missions mimic fetch quests from RPGs and even though the game tries to place itself as a stealth game, enemies are able to detect you behind obstacles and walls.

    It would have been a nine but the optimization is just horrible. The first Dishonored is one of my favorite games but unfortunately this game really wasn't as good.

    Дропы фпс являются привычным нынешним трендом и ничего тут не поделать, на самом деле ультра с высокими не сильно друг от друга отличаются и можно пережить даже владельцам хай энд систем играя не на ультра.
    Касаемо сценария:
    -опять заговор
    -разматываешь ниточки,
    все то же самое, что было в оригинальной части
    разрабы это понимаю как никто другой и поэтому два персонажа.
    Хоть какое то разнообразие!
    Считаю имхо концепция себя изжила и триквел делать в том же ключе будет позором.

    Почему игра хорошая:
    -Локации можно проходить 3-4 раза абсолютно по-разному, то есть дизайн на высочайшем уровне. Реиграбельности хватает от начала и до самого конца.
    -Художники поработали великолепно, все весьма красиво и аутентичен стимпанковому миру оригинальной игры.
    -Геймплей с 2012 года отполировали и довели до близкого к идеалу.
    Почему игра плохая:
    - Потому что сюжет здесь для галочки и является калькой с предыдущего. Слишком плоско...
    Больше минусов я не нашел.

    No mejora las deficiencias de la anterior entrega que ya me pareció sobrevalorada, la de Dishonored es una formula relativamente innovadora pero ejecutada con poca ambición y clarividencia. Esta segunda entrega además parece algo recortada en favor de meter DLC y además tras un año de su salida seguía teniendo algunos bugs importantes sin arreglar. 5/10.

    The story was interesting, the voice acting was really great and the combat was satisfying. You can opt to play through on easy and enjoy the story with much easier combat or you can play it the way it was intended, in the shows, it's very much a stealth game at heart so if you prefer a more run and gun style you'll want to select the easiest difficulty to make this possible.    … Expand

    The stealth is engaging, the combat is visceral and the story is interesting. The first game worked better on my PC so that's why I can't give this one 9/10.

There are interesting locations and enemies as in Dishonored 2 but game kinda sucks because stealth is broken! Ending was lame and game felt short. Story felt uninteresting, but it was okay.

    Also there is weird input lag, which is even in original game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A good sequel to the first Dishonored game. The game is quite long, but I was dissapointed by the lack of climax at the ending. You're looking for your target for the whole game, all that to finish with a short, bizarre mission that makes no sense.… Expand

    I liked Dishonored 1 more than this one. Because I think Dishonored 1 has a stronger storyline. Also, the characters, gameplay and atmosphere were better in Dishonored 1. Therefore I don't like Dishonored 2 much. 12hrs on record.

    No complaints from me regarding frames because it has been improved with patches. D2 is a must-buy for hardcore stealth lovers. But for someone like me who prefers a more tactical approach, the mechanics were somewhat frustrating. Since you cant tag enemies, you cant strategize your route. It led to frustrating replays from the previous checkpoints and ruined my fun. The game punishes youNo complaints from me regarding frames because it has been improved with patches.

The game punishes you for breaking stealth unlike Metal Gear solid 5. It barely improvised upon the original with no major gameplay addition. The graphics are good, controls and parkour too are brilliant. But again, i dont think D2 would be able to attract people from outside its already established fanbase.… Expand

    It's a beautiful game in terms of design and gameplay. Locations are rich and full of little details, stealth is great and IA of enemies is quite good.

I played this game non lethal way and almost all power ups where useless for me... I've used only 2 power ups so searching for runes was useless for me... Generally speaking there wasn't anything valuable for me too seeking in this beautifully designed world... So unfortunately after some time I've become a little bit bored this formula. Luckily this game isn't too long. Maybe if I chose lethal path I could have little more fun with all mechanics and power ups… Expand

    The magic of Dishonored was much less powerful this time around. The dullness of the world felt far beyond what we had seen in the original game. There was less color, uglier areas to explore, and not much improvement in mechanics. I like that we get to play as Emily or Corvo, but Emily has worse powers for a stealthy player like me. I had to restart the entire game as Corvo.

    I never loved the second game as much as I loved the first. I don't know what happened to this series, but it completely loses its magic with the first game and the sequels feel like a boring experience that can't be remembered.

    Dishonored 2 is bigger and better than its forbearer, with greater variety of level design and even more flexible gameplay. It is a shame the central narrative isn’t more engaging and that the sequel is haunted by technical deficiencies.

    Dishonored 2 exists to make you feel good. It gives you a lot of freedom in accomplishing your goals and keeps your adrenaline level constantly elevated. It’s a shame that it failed to shake off the original game’s drawbacks and is not as stylish. [01/2017, p.38]
