    An awesome follow up to the first game which I absolutely loved. A must play for players who like stealth games, and if you want to go all out, you have even more options to chain together kills and make flashy plays.

    Game 1 was pretty weird. Actually, it was such a strange thing that even though this game is more advanced, I guess it doesn't taste like the 1st game.

    I`ve finished this game before and now I`m playing it again and both times it was awesome experience. At launch there were some perfomance problems but now they are fixed.
    This game is extraordinary both in artistic and gameplay, extremally impressive and worth playing.

    Just like the first game, but better with more replicability playing as Emily or Corvo.

    Must play if you love the first game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played this game on a non-lethal/low chaos gamemode playing as Corvo (he seemed to be better for stealth than Emily).

    This game is great! I'm happy to see that the witches are the main focus of this game as I thought they were really cool in Daud's story. I did think the story fell flat in a few places (once again, the ending feels rushed and the game just sort of... stops. Especially with the low chaos ending.)

    I thought the level design in this game was much more interesting, but the game does feel a lot harder. This made me not really want to explore as much, given that it was a lot easier to get caught and die in this game. I did play this game on Very Hard, but there were certain levels that I wouldn't want to play even on Easy (mainly A Crack in the Slab, which although had a cool concept - just consisted of me staying mainly in the Present to not deal with the guards.)

    Overall, I do enjoy this game moreso than the first one. I think I'll remember the first one better just because it was my introduction to the world, but I feel this game plays a lot better than the first. (And at some point, I'll play the high chaos run with Emily. I don't think that will affect my score here however.)

    This game is bad. I have no sympathy for the protagonist, and the story feels like it was written by an executives bored wife. I wouldn't care that it blatantly copies story elements of Thief, if they'd pulled it off successfully. Instead it just makes you realize what you're missing.

    The graphics are bland, all the NPCs look the same, and the performance is terrible even on modern

    The graphics are bland, all the NPCs look the same, and the performance is terrible even on modern hardware. There are smaller studios that have produced much better looking games with far fewer resources.

    The worst part though is there's no challenge, you have to artificially make it harder for yourself. Some of the mechanics are interesting, but the gameplay has no depth so they quickly becomes boring.

But I don't give 10s for games that are perfect, because no game is perfect (except TLOU2). I give 10s to games that really stick with me, and games that excel in ways most others can only dream of. And Dishonored 2 does both of those things.

    Right off the bat, the level design is just f*cking incredible all around. These levels are so densely packed that I always found it engaging to explore every nook and cranny. I've already played this game before, and yet on this playthrough I was still finding new stuff, which I loved. It also helps that the world building is top tier and every building is worth exploring, and pretty much every note, journal or document is worth reading. I still can't believe how underappreciated the world of Dishonored is.

    Combat wise, this game is so brutal and satisfying if you want to go for high chaos. But I think sneaking around and playing non-lethal is just as enjoyable because of how many different routes there are, and how the game lets you mess with its systems. Hell, I even found out about new ways to complete missions this time around that I somehow missed the first time because there's just so many options.

    But what really surprised me this playthrough was actually the story. Now it's not amazing or anything, but I ended up appreciating it much more on a low chaos run. I liked seeing how Emily changes as the game progresses, realizing how terrible things really are outside the palace, and that she can't just sit idly by; she needs to be the one to take action. It's maybe a bit more subtle than I would have liked but I certainly appreciated it more this time around. Reshaping the world (and herself) to be better just feels much more satisfying narratively.

    In the end, this game is legendary. Arkane have massive wangs, and you a goofy if you don't like this.

Görevleri hep alternatif yollarla yaptığım için, aydınlardan kimse ölmedi ve mutlu sonla bitti. Açıkçası ben ilk oyunun atmosferini ve hikayesini daha çok sevmiştim. İlk oyunun 15 yıl sonrasında geçtiği için o veba yayılmış, bitkin ve harap düşmüş şehir atmosferi yok. Ya da ilk oyunu henüz bir kaç ay önce oynadığım için benzer tarzda olan ikinci oyun ilki kadar etkilemedi. Oynanış aynı, yeni skiller ve bir kaç yeni düşman gelmiş. İlk oyundaki gibi ister gizli ister vura vura, ister bayıltarak isterseniz de öldürerek ilerleyebiliyorsunuz. Bir yerlere girip çıkmanın bin bir türlü yolu var. Bu serbestiyet açısından Dishonored serisi en iyi oyunlardan zaten.

    İster baba ister kız olarak oynayabiliyorsunuz. Ben kızı seçtim. Sonra biraz da Corvo ile oynadım. Corvo'nun yetenekleri çok daha fazlaydı. Adam eski suikastçı sonuçta.

    Görevleri yaparken de ilk oyundaki gibi karşınıza genelde iki yol seriliyor. Kimseyi öldürmeden yapacağınız barışçıl yöntem ya da doğrudan hedefi öldürmek. Barışçıl yöntem için seçimlik bir başka yan görev tarzı şey yapmanız gerekiyor, doğrudan yöntemse çoğu zaman daha basit, öldür. Görev için gittiğiniz mekanı araştırdıkça hedefi niçin öldürmemeniz gerektiğini ve bunu yapmadan nasıl amacınıza ulaşacağınızı öğreniyorsunuz. Bu yol öldürmeye göre çoğu zaman daha meşakkatli.

    İlk oyundaki o siyasi komplolar, bizi kandıranlar falan yoktu. Daha düz ve sürprizsiz bir anlatısı vardı. Bazı görevler yine saçmaydı. Dükün yerine dublörünü başa geçirmemiz mesela. Lan adam gerçek dük benim diyor iki dakika bir dinleyin, sorgulayın.

    Skiller daha da gelişmiş. Becerebilene inanılmaz bir çeşitlilik ve cool hareket imkanı sunuyor. Geliştirdiğiniz yeteneğe göre oynayış tarzınız doğrudan etkileniyor.

    Görsellik ilk oyunun çok ötesinde. Çizgiler daha stilistik. Ara sahnelerdeki çizimlerden oluşan bir animasyon serisi olsaydı keşke.

    Sonuçta beni ilk oyun kadar etkilemese de türünün en iyilerinden.

    HISTORIA
    -La historia esta bien, aprendes mas de los personajes y del outsider. Sin embargo la historia se siente menos interesante que en el primer juego, resulta mas "predecible".

    NIVELES
    -El diseño de niveles es diferente al primero, mientras algunos niveles traen unos conceptos novedosos a la franquicia que hace que se sientan únicos, de alguna forma también logran que se sientan mas pequeños. eso sumado a la falta de objetivos secundarios interesantes hace que se sientan menos dinámicos.

    ENEMIGOS
    -Los enemigos básicamente los mismos que en el primer juego con 4 excepciones:
    -removieron a los enemigos con cajas de música.
    -sustituyeron a los asesinos de Daud con brujas (son diferentes pero el concepto es el mismo).
    -sustituyeron a los tall boys con una clase de enemigo "GRANDE" que es bastante peligroso

    en este aspecto lo hicieron mejor.

    PODERES

    Los poderes de Emily son bastante diferentes y son divertidos de usar,

    Los de Corvo son los mismos.

    CONCLUSION

    Vale la pena. no es lo mismo que el primero pero no esta mal. ademas el game+ es bastante divertido.

    One of the most enjoyable games I've played. It's impressive for so many reasons: visually stunning, highly imaginative, excellent gameplay, satisfying combat, and an absorbing story. There are a few technical issues but otherwise it's quite remarkable. Better all round than the original (which was also excellent). If only all games were as good.

    - Gameplay -
    If you've played Dishonored 1, you can expect the same type of gameplay here. You can go about it stealth or full on combat. You can spare everyone, or kill everyone. Your choice. There are a whole new set of powers to play with this time with an entirely new protagonist, Emily. Or you can go about it as Corvo, if you fancy the OG abilities more. She has powers that have similar functions as Corvo's, but are quite different in applications. You can turn into a shadow to scout and by pass, instead of possessing mice. You can summon a spirit to distract enemies, etc. All these powers give you creative options when approaching a difficult situation.

    There is one gripe I have about the stealth. Sometimes it's absolutely impossible to see an enemy because their model colors are so in tune with the background, to the point where they are completely camouflaged even when they are just standing a few meters away. It doesn't help that once an enemy catches a tiny glimpse of you, the detection meter fills extremely quick and there's rarely enough time to jump to cover. But when you do manage to stealth past an entire area, it's very satisfying.

    There is one area that single handedly boosted my rating from a 7 to an 8. That'd be the dust district. In this area, you're given a very very fun tool. This tool allows you to see the area as it was in the past. I've seen it ever implemented in one other game, Bioshock Infinite. But Dishonored 2 perfected it. The way you could solve puzzles and get past areas using this device was a unique experience that I've NEVER tried. It was truly mindblowingly creative. If they implemented this tool in more areas, that'd would have been epic. The devs who designed this gadget and applied it in-game deserve awards.

    There are a bunch runes and bonecharms to collect which all act as upgrades for your abilities. Going about these side ventures require more stealthing, which is fun, as the game does it well.

    - Narrative -
    Dishonored has an interesting story and a protagonist you want to fight for. Based on how merciful you are to your enemies throughout the game, the ending will vary and the characters will treat you differently. This has always been a staple of Dishonored, which is a huge positive. The characters have unique personalities, and it's interesting to see their motives. The game makes you want to know who the next antagonist is, and how they tie in with the main story.

    - Visuals & Sounds -
    The game looks great. A very dull and steampunk atmosphere gives the game a unique feel. The facial expressions are mediocre. They can be improved as most of characters in cutscenes feel robotic.

    - Replay value -
    There's only a new game plus, where you get the chance to use Corvo's and Emily's abilities in the same playthrough. But nothing more than that.

    Thanks for reading.

    If we get Dishonored 3 somehow, i seriously hope the devs pay a little more attention to the PC port because the games reputation was more or less destroyed on release due to the atrocious performance and bugs. Stop doing this to pc ports. This game and those with rigs powerful enough to enjoy it at max settings, deserve so much more than what was delivered with the port of this game.

    Just stop. It's fixed now, but that doesnt change the fact it was sold to people broken, its unforgivable. However, the game, as i stated above, is absolutely fantastic and deserves a place in your steam library any day of the week.

    What I'd change is to allow a chapter select and allow each map to be played for the no-kill not-detected style achievements individually, without the need to replay everything from the start. That being said, it was nice I could speedrun most maps to get those last collectibles (most cutscenes and conversations can be skipped).

    Игра заслуживает внимания!

    Знаете, часто бывает что фанаты какой-нибудь игры ждут продолжения своей любимой франшизы, с нетерпением кусают ногти в ожидании релиза новой части, и когда она выходит, игру накрывает шквал гневных комментариев, мол они убили их любимого героя, антагонист не имеет мотивации, в игре поменяли движок, герой стал менее цепляющим, ну и все в этом духе.

    Игра заслуживает внимания!

    Знаете, часто бывает что фанаты какой-нибудь игры ждут продолжения своей любимой франшизы, с нетерпением кусают ногти в ожидании релиза новой части, и когда она выходит, игру накрывает шквал гневных комментариев, мол они убили их любимого героя, антагонист не имеет мотивации, в игре поменяли движок, герой стал менее цепляющим, ну и все в этом духе. Что ж, этот сиквел доказывает совершенно противоположное, игра осталась тем же Dishonored, и изменения коснулись разве что графики и локаций, так же в связи с тем что в начале игры можно выбрать прохождение за Корво или за Эмили, список умений возрастает в 2 раза, у Корво те же что и были с небольшими бонусами, а у Эмили совершенно другие, так же дается возможность играть вообще без магических умений, но тогда теряется тот кураж задуманный разработчиками. В игре появилось уйма доп. заданий на каждой локации, которые не просто в стиле подай/принеси/убей, а с целыми сюжетными линиями и раскрытием персонажей на высоком уровне. И хотелось бы отметить, на сколько же мир привязан к действиям игрока, каждое ваше решение, может всплыть боком в последующей локации, или вы хотя бы услышите о своих деяниях, это дает неистовую мотивацию исследовать мир и выполнять каждое мелкое дельце.
    Так же у игры есть дополнение в виде отдельной игры Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, прекрасное дополнение уже окончательно разъясняющее весь сюжет игры, и шедеврально раскрывает вселенную сиквела.

    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.

I am very glad that such talented developers from Arkane Studios are now led by Microsoft. If they are given the creative freedom and financial capabilities of Microsoft, then they will continue to make great games. Expand

    This game makes no sense. It forces you to play stealth, but what happens if you don't want to play stealth or that you find that there is no real solution to play stealth ?

Like many stealth games, this one does not take into consideration the fact that you might find that there is no stealthy solution to a given problem or situation (meaning that something in the level design is bad generally....) So if you try to not play stealth the game just becomes impossible to play. And there are no real stealth solutions unless you want to spend 2 hours doing nothing and just wait for the guard to be at an exact point of their patrol to take them out. A game is suppose to be hard but also fun, this game is hard and not fun at all. Expand

Combat of satisfying stealth kills and sometimes really annoying sword fights looks unchanged from the last game, one of the few things that hardly needs an improvement. Maps are fun to explore with the puzzles and loots almost everywhere.

    Game's biggest disappointment is its performance and optimization that unfortunately made a huge impact on my experience. Its famous gameplay that everyone was excited for is crumbled by the horrible FPS drops and disgusting bugs. I already knew before buying it that it has some FPS issues but everyone was basically saying that it got better, well in that case I really don't want to look how it was before this disaster. To be honest I was enjoying solving the puzzles and looting more than to kill someone.

    The PC port is terrible, makes me sick with all the jittering and weird "floating" mouse movements. And I don't know why but the optimization in this game is terrible, (which makes this game 9/10 times unplayable). But besides all of that, just play this game on a console you will have a way better experience because this game without issues is a masterpiece & work of art.

    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.

    The graphics and artstyle of this game are great and go well with its history, combat and so on.

    The story is good enough. Nothing very complex, well developed or full of twists but it fits well in this game and is directly affected by its style of gameplay, something that I found very interesting. This generates multiple endings, they are very diverse and generate gameplay replayability.

    The soundtrack is very bad and adds almost nothing.

    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.

    A bittersweet experience. The game is a huge improvement compared to Dishonored on almost every single level:
    - visually gorgeous
    - level design, both in terms of layout and architecture, is often stunning (don't want to spoil the experience, but a couple of levels really BLOW MIND) - maybe the most customisable HUD I've ever seen in a game - overall beautiful GUI with vastly improved

    - maybe the most customisable HUD I've ever seen in a game
    - overall beautiful GUI with vastly improved functionality compared to Dishonored
    - by far the most customisable difficulty settings I've ever seen
    - and a number of other smaller improvements, such as level maps that can be found in the streets/buildings and can be later viewed in the journal, the ability to slowly move and rotate when choking enemies, secondary small-font subtitles for when interaction and background speech occurs simultaneously, much more comprehensive stats at the end of each level, etc etc etc.

    However, it pains me to say, the writing in this game really sucks balls, especially compared to the original. The story is rather poorly contrived, but above all most of the dialogues feel like a B-grade TV show. It's nowhere near as engaging emotionally as Dishonored, or even as The Knife of Dunwall or The Brigmore Witches. In Dishonored, the stealth and other mechanics served the story, but here I feel like it's the other way around - they had plenty of brilliant ideas on how to improve the gameplay, and needed SOME story to go with it. It's a real shame, and it also made the playthrough feel less exciting and more tedious and repeatable.

    The game also suffers from stutter issues, but limiting fps to 60 resolved this. Not ideal and was frustrating initially, but since then it ran just fine. Had only occasional dips to some 55fps with a GTX1070, and no noticeable stutter anymore.

    Despite that, if you're a fan of the gameplay from Dishonored, this should be a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

    There are so many directions you can go. So many nooks and crannies. Exploration is actually usually NOT rewarded, but it helps make the game immersive, like you're wandering in a big city or a big mansion and it isn't some arcade-y treasure hunt where the developers conveniently hide loot for you to find.
    At best you'll find bonecharms which are decent, but not mandatory. The rest if what you find, should you choose to wander about and explore, is only really books and documents that help flesh out the lore and explain the politics of the game world. I read them all and never got bored -- because I was so INTO the game as I'm playing it.
    In modern games I HATE hand-holding and linear gameplay. In Dishonored 2 I didn't have to deal with any of that.
    The art direction, characters and writing is exqusiite.
    All these positives add up to make a game that is very immersive, I am already sucked in after 5 minutes of playing.
    Stealth is drastically harder than just going in and killing everything. You have plenty of gear like mines, grenades, special bolts to easily dispatch enemies. BUT the most effective thing about this game is that you truly feel guilty if you spill too much blood. Just something about it . I felt bad about killing enemies and doing things the messy way. Getting through an area cleanly and stealthily was more rewarding, without needing any artificial in-game rewards.
    The sense of reward is the accomplishment of objectives -- the mark of a great game. And if you do it the dirty, bloody way, not so rewarding but you still got 'er done!
    I love games that are versatile, non-linear and immersive and Dishonored 2 delivers on those three critical aspects.

    Some minor bugs and frame rate drops, most noticeable with any enemies that can blink seems to drive the game crazy. I also felt there could have been more sidemissions for the size of the levels as well as there seems to be a lot of wasted space that only really exists to let your inner kleptomaniac loose.

    First I become a powerful assassin, full of dark powers and tricks, fighting my way in a revenge spree. Then I was a deposed empress, betrayed and deadly, that moves like a shadow but that is a benevolent soul and don't killed once, not even her enemies.

    And now, as I'm doing this review, I'm in a third playthrough, without any special powers.
    It's superb, I don't have words to describe it...

    Graphically is fantastic, full of details and with a very peculiar art style that I loved. I had no significant problems, only 2 or 3 errors during game save that forced me to start it, but in more than 60 hours of games so far nothing.

    Mechanically easy to pick up especially if they have already played the first, will realize that the basis of controls and powers is practically the same.

    Overall is 10/10 to me. It is a "most have" for any Steam collector and one of the best game experiences of the last years.

    - There are almost no interesting and memorable characters. Interesting only two (The Outsider and Delilah) from the original Dishonored, in which there were 15-20 interesting characters, each with its own history.
    - 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.

    6/10 for Dishonored 2 with removed Denuvo.

    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.

    This game is an overall amazing game and greatly improving the original in terms of story, art, atmosphere, and gameplay. However the game does feel a little too short and some areas feel very small and narrow. That only seems to be the case in a few levels but overall a fantastic game, definitely worth trying out.

Tengo que confesar que tanto la historia de Daud, como la de Billie, son incluso mejores que las "principales" para un servidor. Y no porque las de Corvo y Emily no me parezcan sobresalientes, si no porque, en cierta forma, el corazón de la saga radica un poco más en ellas. Mi voto va a ser el mismo para todas, porque sin duda, disfruté de todas y cada una de ellas, de una manera similar. Expand

    All release bugs and technical problems aside, talking in the artistic, fun, replayeable and history side of the game. This game is a true 9/10. I recomend it to you all for a "Non Benchmarking Experience" just a "Gaming Experience". Hide fps counter, set it to ultra, lock 30 fps and enjoy one of the best single player games with a reasonable Price to buy. SO:

    - History is impacting.
    - Game is long enough (around 15h, im slow so it tooks me like 20-25 hours.).
    - There are a lot of ways to achieve an objetive, is like an "open world game" inside a linear single player game, i really like it.
    - Optional objectives are diferent, relevant in the game and fun to complete.
    - 2 characters, 3 way to play (sealth mode, assassin mode, DOOM MODE), diferent ends with an action depending history makes the game 3 or 4 times replayeable. Actually in my third time (DOOM MODE).
    - The artistic part of the game makes the visuals unique, giving us a reason to remember their main characters, the history and the whole world for a long time.
    - The game looks cool in its low-end graphic settings (Consoles uses a mix of low-mid settings).
    - Full customizable dificulty without achievements restriction like "beat the game in hardest dificulty". Fun achievements.
    - Lot of small parallel stories hiding a whole world in text, people talks, enviorement, etc...

    I will give him a 10/10 to compensate the "0/10 - I cant launch it, hard fps drops (viruses, dust, etc), crash to dsktop (Temps, etc.), denuvo sucks" and others unjustified and unobjetives reviews. Console players have low-medium settings, with a non-native resolution and 30 fps and they are so happy with the game, why would we be mad with an ultra setting native 1080p-4k and 30 fps. This is not a game to do benchmarks, that's all. This game is actually (2018) a 9/10.

    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.

    I'm surprised how much of an improvement this game got. Story, gameplay, combat, stealth, map design, enemies and AI, you name it. I didn't get bored playing and I didn't feel like it was repetitive, unlike the first game.

    STORY
    In the beginning, you're given the choice of playing as a grown-up Emily or reprising your role as Corvo. Your decision will vastly change the perspective of the story as well as the abilities available at your arsenal, as if two sides of a coin. You will not be able to make any contact with the other throughout the game.

    The developers designed the game with the intent for you to play more than one run after completion, so that you can play as the other character or attempt different approaches to missions.

    The script is a lot more concise and the story is a huge improvement. It is no longer vague and characters no longer speak about topics that are irrelevant to the mission at hand.

    GAMEPLAY
    Dishonored 2 now plays like a true Hitman game, unlike the simplified one the first game was. It's entirely up to you whether you want to be a ghost or if you want to go in guns blazing.

    I recommend trying out stealth to make the best of your experience, but if you want to rush through, you'll still get a thrill out of the combat because it is no longer as simple as the first game. The game will punish you for carelessness. I recommend playing on Hard difficulty.

    For weapons, you use the classic sword/pistol/crossbow combo. There are many more upgrades now and money is even more scarce than before, so it is crucial for you to plan out what you want to buy.

    As for powers, there are new ones introduced for Emily while Corvo mostly uses the same ones as before. Emily's powers are more focused on stealth than Corvo's. Unfortunately, some powers in this game are completely pointless, which is a shame.

    The game introduces a Bone Charm crafting system where you recycle charms into new ones consisting of 2-4 modifiers and only taking up one slot each. Even though there's a chance of corrupting them, the corrupted modifiers are mostly laughable. For three extra Runes, you can use each modifier up to four times, which is even more broken.

    There are new and improved enemies in this game and AI has been vastly improved. Even with the "wall hack" power fully upgraded, it's difficult to play.

    EXPLORATION
    Maps are a lot more open-world than before and items are scattered throughout. If you only focus on the missions, you will miss out on plenty of exploration. If you only focus on special items, you will have a deficit of funding and will be limited on ammunition.

    The Heart reprises its GPS tracker method of detection. All of the items are exposed on the map again. Many of them are located in stores or safes now, which require additional effort to acquire.

    Sadly, there are a bit too many Runes in the game, making powers easy to obtain. Bone Charms are generated at random, which makes the search for them somewhat pointless once you're near the end of the game, since they might not have good modifiers. Unless you're planning to do another run, of course.

    Like the first game, this one has nine missions and a central hub. If played quickly, it should last around 10 hours. If played stealthily, then easily at least 20-30 hours.

    UNIQUE LOCATIONS
    There are two locations in this game that are unique: Stilton Manor and the Clockwork Mansion.

    Without spoiling too much, the former introduces "on-demand" time travel gameplay. This is an interesting new system with lots of potential, but the developers only limited it to that map.

    For the other location, it is essentially a dynamic labyrinth. It's incredibly fun to play and very challenging with the clockwork guards. It's difficult to acquire all of the special items on this map because half the time you're just trying to avoid getting killed.

    PERFORMANCE
    A lot of reviewers here complained about poor optimization and gave low ratings because of that.

    I too experienced sub-optimal FPS, but I managed to stabilize it at 40 average on 4K resolution at mostly-low with mid-range hardware, while streaming. If you fear that your system might not be able to play it, Steam offers a refund policy which offers you the chance to try it out.

    SUMMARY
    Dishonored 2 is a huge improvement from its prequel. There is a lot more variety in combat and more freedom to plan out your approach. This is definitely a worthy successor to the original game and I highly recommend it even if you haven't played the prequel. You can hop straight to playing this game as the story isn't too reliant on the prequel.

    Disregarding performance issues, I'm giving this game a generous 9/10 for being the sequel Dishonored fans wished for. It is well-balanced and challenging in every way. I would've preferred there to be a bit more money available on the maps to loot, but it's not a big deal.

    And what can i say, this game was fantastic. I played as corvo and my experience felt unique to my play style. The level design was incredible, with the clockwork mansion having maybe the best design I have ever come across. The sound, graphics and mood are all excellent. I must say that the star of the show is the gameplay. The freedom to tackle each level how you want to. I chose to play as an assassin, showing no mercy during these tumultuous times. But I imagine the game would have equal satisfaction if tackled in a non-lethal stealth manner.

    Overall I would give this a 9, it would have been 9.5 if it was released in this current state, not to mention the fact I have had to upgrade to a titan Xp just to have a quality experience.
