    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.

    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

    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.

    Additionally the game runs really poorly on my hardware to begin with. I'm running an i7-4790 with 780ti SLI on an SSD, all my drivers are updated, and I've got patch 1.2 installed and it still runs terribly on even the lowest settings. It's not even so much that I see a low framerate -- Even though I certainly do, I'm averaging about 35 fps overall on medium settings -- It's that the framerate fluctuates wildly for seemingly no reason. For example, I'll play through a certain area and see around 45 fps, then quick reload because I screwed something up, and play through the same exact area averaging 28 fps. It makes no sense. And toggling graphics settings seems to help nothing: I get maybe a 5 fps variance between the lowest settings and putting everything to high. Something is severely wrong with this game, and seeing how broken it is removes almost all of my hope that it'll ever be fixed. From what I understand it even runs poorly on consoles: I've seen many complaints about crashes on the PS4. So maybe this is a Void Engine thing, I dunno. But I sure wish they had just built Dishonored 2 on the Unreal Engine, like Dishonored 1 was.

    The poor performance and terrible overall stability make this game almost completely unplayable even on super high-end systems: Even people running 1080s are experiencing frame drops and instability, so you can't even brute force your way into hitting a constant, stable 60 fps. As for the crashes, who knows? They could be caused by any number of reasons.

    All-in-all this is the worst running PC game I've played since Assassin's Creed Unity's release back in 2014. I've heard people say this is as bad as Arkham Knight, though I can't say whether or not that's true since I haven't played that one. I'll update my review should this game ever stabilize, though even that is no guarantee. Once a game releases in this bad of shape it's rare to ever see it run well again.

    Now we know why Bethesda didn't want to ship review copies to journalists covering the game. Because it barely works. Shame on you Bethesda for such shady business practices, and shame on you for releasing a game with so much potential in such a sorry state.

    Note: I'll edit this review if it ever manages to run decently, but for now I don't really have anything to comment on aside from its performance since it's nearly unplayable in its current state.    … Expand

    The only reason I give this game a 3 is for graphics, game play and story which are OK.

    The original game felt small and oppressive, but this sequel is vast, sprawling, and lacking that essential dystopian feel of the original. The VO and script seems exceptionally weak. I could probably overlook these complaints if I could get over 18fps in open environments.

    But I cant.

    So no.

    Ps3 graphics, broken port, awful performance ,muddy textures even at ultra and the best of all is that you need a monster rig to run this garbage port, and to the idiots saying that is running good on their gtx 1080 and is well optimized, well thats all the contrary...

    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

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 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.

    Enter a room
    kill a person
    find something
    go up the stairs
    because a CRASH is just a few steps away!

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

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, 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.

    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.

I would say to decrease the visuals which I tried, I even tried going to very low/low settings and the results were so similar to running at very high/ultra about a 10-15 fps difference for what was a massive drop in visual quality sometimes no increase at all... showing that the game is very poorly optimised which is a massive let down

    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 only played it just recently (~4 years after its release) as I was a bit afraid of the stealth mechanics and the influences of current day politics on its story.

    Played to see both characters with both endings and I enjoyed it. The visuals are great, run well on my PC. The no-kill not-detected no-powers run was quite intense. For comparison, I tried to play DH1 again but got bored on my kill-everybody run as it wasn't as fun as sneaking around undetected.

    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).    … Expand

    The game suffered with terrible performance at launch, but I can safely say that's not the case now, they did fix it, I ran at pretty close to 144fps all the time on medium settings with ultra textures, if you're using a 60Hz monitor then 60fps will be doable on max settings quite easily appropriate hardware

    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.

    Reason i am giving 6 is: stealth is broken, they instantly hear you even from 15 meters and if you walking and through roofs!

    Otherwise game was fun, beautiful photorealistic graphics! Except cartoonish faces, which i don't mean as negative. I like the looks.

Many today times games have ugly graphics, despite they are very demanding. That's mainly because to many effects and bad textures. 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 were many interesting locations, but some parts - especially outskirts were same and repetitive!

    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

    The sequel to the much beloved Dishonored, brings back everything people liked about the first one but bigger and better. The story follows a similar path but the gameplay is much more refined, with more open levels and more approaches to every goal, this game is very replayable. Especially with the dual protagonists, making you go back and play it through again but with different powers.

    This game in its current form (2019 Steam) playing on i7 - 7700 with a 1080 runs silky smooth.

    This is one the more unique FPS games I've had the privilege to play. I love it! Get on it. Deep story, great game mechanics and amazing artwork via the visuals.

    Oyunu Gamepass'den oynadım ve bir bölümde sürekli olarak çöküp kapanıyordu. Onun haricinde gerçekten keyif almıştım.

    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]
