    Just as good as the original. It's a must play for stealth fans, but it also allows you to play aggressively, if you prefer that style. Solid story, amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended!

    Coming from other stealth games series Tom Clancy, Thief and Metal Gear Solid to name a few. Dishonored is a unique game in the genre considering the fact it has magic powers, ranged weapons and swords.

    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.    … Expand

    It's obviously flawed on PC, but it's not quite that important when the gameplay is so superb. It builds up from the first game, so you can expect the same core mechanics and outstanding stealth action. It might not bring in a big amount of new things, but I expected a similar game anyway, so it is totally fine with me.

    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.

    So I can affirm that this game is one of the most intrinsically in-depth games I have ever played. Not only does it have a good story to play through that you can learn more from just picking up and reading all the different documents laying around, but the gameplay is outstanding and so entertaining. I have been playing on very hard the whole time and I am close to the end of the game.So I can affirm that this game is one of the most intrinsically in-depth games I have ever played.

I have been playing on very hard the whole time and I am close to the end of the game. Now, I will say like the first it was very frustrating in the beginning when you had barely any abilities at your disposal. Although, that all changes and you can easily adapt yourself to the way you want to play. I tried the nonlethal approach for a bit and loved the challenge, but once I started gaining powers from collecting the runes it all changed fast. Eliminating unaware guards could never get old and there are so many ways to do it. So what if I have a high chaos ending at least it was fun the whole time and still quite the challenge at my difficulty setting. Lastly, I really despise people that leave reviews of games and give it awful scores because of their own hardware issues or FPS issue that will be patched. I purposely waited until the issues were resolved with updates and driver updates until I made an educated decision about this review. I will even say I had FPS issues with my combine GTX 970 SSC and GTX 670 (Dedicated PhysX GPU) running the game. Now, I am running the game on ultra settings and I have zero issues. So hopefully this is helpful because regardless I think this has a really good chance of being Game of the Year.… Expand

    Really fun game, the gameplay is incredible, and the game looks amazing. Story has a little to be desired, and the voice acting is only passable. Performance issues aside, the game plays like a dream. Once these performance issues get patched, this game will be amazing.

    I am an older gamer (66), a clinical social worker, and an artist. The game is rich and challenging - full of encounters requiring meaningful choices, including morally and psychologically challenging ones; and it is a beautiful work, as well. I did experiment a little with high chaos, and low chaos suits me better. Point: you can play any way you like, and there is enough game there to play every way you like.

    I've played through multiple times, as both Corvo and Emily, in 170 hours, preferring the powers of Emily until Game+ was released and then the difference all but disappeared. Game+ gives the player enough powers (runes earned in earlier completed games that can be used after The Streets of Dunmore) to more easily explore the game.

    I'm going in again, once more from the top, to see if I can explore every inch of every level in the game.    … Expand

    This game has had a less than stellar launch. However, with my GTX 1070 and i7-4790k, I can play on Very High to Ultra settings with minimal issues. Also, for those of you that do have problems, the game likes to set its priority to low after each loading screen, so changing it to normal or above should do the trick until there's a patch. Now, onto the review.

Also, for those of you that do have problems, the game likes to set its priority to low after each loading screen, so changing it to normal or above should do the trick until there's a patch. Now, onto the review.

    The first Dishonored is my favorite game of all time. Obviously, I was anxious for the day to come where I could reprise my role as Royal Protector Corvo Attano, or I could possess the role of Empress Emily Kaldwin, whom has a slew of new abilities. As of now, I am around 10 hours into my playthrough as Emily and I must say that this is exactly what I expected from this sequel. Of course, there are multiple ways of reaching your target and also multiple ways to take down your target. Each power now has a more in-depth upgrade tree in which you can allow Corvo's Blink to be redirective, as Daud's was in the Knife of Dunwall and the Brigmore Witches, or you can upgrade Emily's Doppleganger ability to create copies of yourself that will fight for you.

    A new feature that I was very excited for was Bonecharm Crafting. This works by sacrificing a bone charm's trait so that you will be able to create a single bone charm with multiple traits taken from a sacrificed charm. You can create a single charm with two, three, or four traits, however, corrupted charms have made a reappearance from Daud's DLC. The more traits you add onto a crafted bone charm, the more likely it will be come corrupted and apply a negative attribute along with the traits you applied to it.

    I don't know much about graphics, but I can tell you that this game's graphics are outstanding. I will occasionally stop and stare at the scenery, which will sometimes appear as a beautiful painting. The art style has remained the same and it helps with its look that much more.

    There are new enemies, such as the Nest Keepers and the Clockwork Soldiers that will help gameplay from feeling repetitive. There are new faces, as well as old ones. There are new powers that can be heavily upgraded (if you can find the resources to do so), and old ones with new attributes to be added onto them. There's an entirely new system for bone charms that can be ignored if you do not care for corrupted charms. There are new places to explore, and there are old, but familiar ones that make this sequel feel that much more like Dishonored.

    This game has gotten a lot of criticism for its performance, but looking past this minor inconvenience, Dishonored 2 is yet another masterpiece created by the masterminds at Arkane Studios. In my opinion, Dishonored 2 is hands-down my Game of the Year and I would recommend this piece of art to each and every one of you.    … 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.
