    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.

    One of the greatest "play-it-your-way" games I've encountered. The sense of freedom when completing missions is amazing. Truly great game! The first Dishonoured game was quite good but this one outshines it and most other games too!

    Good game, but by the middle it has become boring for me. The plot could not catch up to the end and the game turned into a senseless carving of all living things on a level.

And I really wanted to like its sequel. But Dishonored 2 has a critical flaw: It was rushed to market. For PC gamers, D2 was a debacle at release. Nearly one year later, it’s still a substandard heap of been there, done that. Not only is D2 a giant leap backwards in graphics and performance, it doesn’t push other franchise elements forward. Ultimately, D2 drops the ball in every conceivable way. Arkane Studios and Bethesda ought to be ashamed.

    I was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning when it came time to download and install D2. 48 hours later, I uninstalled it without progressing past the second level. I gave it another go 8 months later. Still trashed. Graphics are despicable. Draw distances are incredibly short. Textures constantly pop in and out. Jagged lines everywhere. Some environments look flat and washed out while others are blindingly oversaturated. Character models and animations are comparable to N64 games. D2 is like a 15 year old title which was patched with a free HD mod by a novice coder.

    It gets worse. D2 implements horrid motion blur that makes me sick. Others have the same complaint. Even after adjusting the settings, I get motion sickness playing D2 for just an hour or so. So what should’ve been an enjoyable weekend experience took over a month to complete.

    To top it all off, frame rates are pathetic. Lowering the settings and resolution way down doesn’t fix problems. D2 runs poorly because its garbage. It's so incredibly unoptimized, my rig runs on average of 8-10°C hotter when playing it versus other major games. I installed an additional 120mm fan to compensate. Otherwise D2 will melt my computer, literally.

    Sound design is terrible as well because directional audio is broken. NPC’s and enemies will be across the street, but their voices are heard next to the player. Footstep locations can’t be accurately pinned down. I can’t tell if enemies are above me, below me, or if they moved right or left. Since nonlethal playthru’s require lots of creeping, locating enemies by sound is vital. Arkane also recycled ambient music from the original game. Lazy.

    The original Dishonored is no visual masterpiece, but it’s still superb in its own right. It successfully achieves a bleak aesthetic by resembling the dreary portraits featured in game. More importantly, the original focused on gameplay over graphics. So performance is slick and visuals are crisp even if things look a tad basic. The developer—Arkane Studio—used the Unreal Engine 3 engine which is a tried and true platform. And Arkane had prior experience with UE. For D2, Arkane used the Void Engine, a rebadged id Tech 5 engine. Only 3 or 4 developers have implemented the Tech 5 engine, so it’s a relatively unused medium. And based on my experiences with Rage, Wolfenstein:TNO and Dishonored 2, I can see why. I bet Bethesda pushed Arkane to use an in house engine to cut cost. And gamers suffer. If Arkane had stuck with the Unreal Engine, I’m certain D2 would be significantly better.

    D2’s story is average and dull. The opening scene is so over-the-top that I rolled my eyes and set aside all urgency. Basically, a wizard lady turns people into stone, orders the immediate execution of imperial supporters, but inexplicably spares a deadly assassin who’s friends with an ancient deity that imbued him with mystical powers. Next!! The hero’s sudden helplessness doesn’t fit, unless of course there’s a wizard lady with amazeballs powers. Sure, the first Dishonored followed a similar formula, but it’s executed more thoughtfully. The story and the world feel believable. The characters are more relatable, and treacherous. At the end, I was happy to get sweet revenge.

    In D2, I was happy when it finally ended, except the ending sucks. The narrative is weak, characters aren’t compelling, and the lore isn’t accurately represented in the atmospheric settings. Voice acting negatively impacts the story as well. The heroes’ whiney expositions are ill-suited and cliché. It’s a mixed bag despite the Hollywood talent.

    The ONLY thing D2 gets right is gameplay. It’s more of the same except gamers can now assume the role of Emily. She has different powers than Corvo which encourages multiple playthru’s once the motion sickness passes. No thanks.

    For me, D2 is unplayable. Motion sickness aside, D2 runs so poorly I can’t enjoy it. I didn’t expect the sequel to be as remarkable as the original Dishonored, but I expect it to be at least technically superior. Bioshock: Infinite and Mass Effect 2 are shining examples of games which improve on their predecessors. D2 could’ve been one of those games. Unfortunately, it’s the exact opposite. Even on sale, I can’t recommend D2. But I wholeheartedly recommend Bioshock: Infinite and the original Dishonored.    … Expand

    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

    The game is unplayable on PC. Had to delete and get the refund.
    Games like this (completely broken, in terms of optimization) - are non existent for me. I simply PASS on them all together and I highly recommend everyone does it. This is the only way to MAKE the developer do their job. If they DON'T WANT us to buy and play their game - WHY should we??

Simply put, this game is brilliant - it's a game for the thinking gamer. Sophisticated, beautiful, great story with great writing. All games should be of this caliber. 'Nuff said.

    It all seems kind of vague - go here, do this, go there and do that.
    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.
    I had a great time exploring the first Dishonored and was really looking forward to this sequel, but so far I've got the feeling that I didn't get my money's worth...    … 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? Cause its quite strange when you have a gun in your arm and dagger in another, but try your best to not use them a single time throughout the game.    … Expand

    Graphics, world looks really nice, in overall it looks atmospheric, but soap is everywhere, for 2010-12y game I will say it's a good visualization for photorealistic game, but for 2016 and with its performance can't give it good score, below medium is maximum what can I give, also people look strange, ugly as in every Bethesda game, but more plastic, hair is also plastic, whole objects in the world look plastic, detalization and object quality is also bad for photorealistic game and for that performance, also game can't allocate all 6GB VRAM, textures, shadows and resolution quality does not affect VRAM at all and use RAM instead of VRAM (looks like console emulated game and not ported), also can't properly work with all CPU cores. Not stable FPS, after Doom Vulkan I really expect same quality Graphics, Performance and Stability, but it's not even close to RotTR, FPS can jump from 120 to 20, in combat sometimes you can get freezes, game does not even use VRAM, and use RAM instead of VRAM, and even RAM is not fully used, when it goes over 16GB it start to use SSD instead of allocating whole 32GB of RAM or use whole VRAM instead of 15% of it for GPU side processes, shortly Emulation, reminds me old console exclusive games that was played on PC by emulators.
    Controls are most annoying problem of this game, you can't control where to blink no matter where you're pointing at game always decide to where you will blink, under wall, at the wall, on the enemy, in front of enemy, but not where you want to, on the wall or behind the enemy... Ctrl block+grab also does not work properly, sometimes it does not have problems, but mostly instead of silent grab you will continuously Block...
    Texture and Geodata blackholes, yes like in old fashioned MMORPGs you can stuck in textures and even fall through, enemies can hide in walls or under the floor and shoot....
    Sound, not biggest problem after Fallout, but game can't work with dolby sound, directions are mixed, so you can hear voice from behind when enemy who makes that noise is in front of you, left from right, atc... Also no echo effects.
    Mostly game feels like Early Access game, not finished, and poorly coded, what developer should be to make so badly coded game on id tech for PC, if it will be a indie game, then will say OK, for small studio, but from AAA game and for its price I expect more than that.
    But, Other parts, like story, atmosphere, music, characters, enemies, are really great, interesting.

    For reference Im running a MSI watercooled gtx 1080 with i4-4790k oc to 4.6ghz and 16gb ram.

It also has two endings for each character. The only problem I see here is the port. The optimazation is nowhere to be found, performance is pretty bad even in high end pc's.

    Buy it if you have a powerful machine, if not, wait till it's totally fix.    … Expand

    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]

    Weak story notwithstanding, Arkane Studios has again delivered a truly excellent stealth action game. [Issue#258, p.53]
