    I really like Dishonored games. And this part improves everything - it adds replayability, different styles of advancing, and an even better plot. The locations are atmospheric and you can achieve your goals in the tone of ways

    it's a bit too long and it's still dishonored AND fun I like that you can choose between two characters with different abilities

    An excellent immersive sim with some seriously ingenious level design and some interesting powers. Ultimately not as good as its predecessor.

    Another visually pleasing stealth-based FPS set in a steampunk world of aristocratic bounders and assassins. It's a little too stealth-heavy for my liking and melee combat never works in first person but the interesting, evolving story and nice graphics will keep you playing to see what comes next.

    Dishonored 2 is a perfect sequel, improving on it's predecessor in almost every way. The replayability is even more front and center and the gameplay mechanics have been substantially improved. Even the characters are made more interesting and fleshed out.

    What really sets Dishonored 2 apart, however, is its player choice system. The ability to choose your character, each with their own unique set of abilities, and to approach every mission in multiple ways, means that the replay value of the game is through the roof. Every decision you make has consequences, and the game's many possible outcomes will have you hooked from beginning to end.

    Whether you prefer to play as the deadly assassin Emily or the masterful Corvo, Dishonored 2 is a game that will keep you engaged and immersed for hours on end. Its combination of stealth, action, and player choice make it a standout title in the genre, and a must-play for anyone who appreciates expertly crafted storytelling and dynamic gameplay. Overall, Dishonored 2 is a masterpiece of a game, and a worthy addition to any gamer's collection.    … Expand

    Омерзительная игра. Графика, геймплей, стиль - всё плохо. Чем больше вы убиваете, тем выше хаос и хуже концовка. В смысле? Они же переворот устроили! Не люблю игры поощряющие стелс без убийств. Забросил так и не пройдя.

    Considering that "gameplay masterpiece" Dishonored was, expectations about Dishonored 2 were high, as were, probably, fears that it might have been not living up to those expectations. I'd say it went well and Arkane did not disappoint.

    Dishonored 2 continues from the world created by the first Dishonored but takes us 15 years later in the city of Karnaca (mostly), nation of Serkonos,    Considering that "gameplay masterpiece" Dishonored was, expectations about Dishonored 2 were high, as were, probably, fears that it might have been not living up to those expectations. I'd say it went well and Arkane did not disappoint.

    Dishonored 2 continues from the world created by the first Dishonored but takes us 15 years later in the city of Karnaca (mostly), nation of Serkonos, part of the Empire of the Isles construct. Karnaca has a fascinating southern European vibe. Playing as Corvo Attano means reliving the thrills and mood of the first game, but I think the plot is deeper and truer playing as Emily Kaldwin, dethroned empress because of witch Delilah's coup d'état, who, outside her throne, among the streets, will discover herself and achieve to inwardly grow and dominate her dimension, taking back what is hers. That said, I still think Dunwall and the first Dishonored's plot and mood have a special place in my heart.

    Dishonored 2 is mostly an iteration of the same brilliant gameplay from the first game. Similar verticality, similar combat, similar approach possibilities. You can play, as said, both as Corvo Attano and as Emily Kaldwin: there are no changes in physical abilities but in the powers they get from the god-like man, The Outsider. Corvo retains many of his powers from the previous game while Emily's powers are fun novelties, like "Domino" and "Shadow Walk". Bone Charms to enhance passive attributes and Runes to enhance powers return but with a change: they can be crafted. By sacrificing Bone Charms it's possible to extract passive attribute enhancements and get Raw Whalebone(s) to craft new personalized Bone Charms. The more complex a personalized Bone Charm is, the more passive attribute enhancements it incorporates but the more risk of corruption increases. Crafting Runes is similar but more expensive in Raw Whalebone and may be less convenient. In combat, Dishonored 2 also introduces non-lethal combat moves. Again, the stealth approach, with few deaths (Low Chaos), is encouraged but to explore all of Dishonored 2's approaches, High Chaos is required, which means many dead and being detected, which in turn, again, affects the ending of the game because the more corpses, the more proliferation of bloodflies (Serkonos' plague). Level design is generally great and some levels stand out, as the always mutating, labyrinthian and fascinating Clockwork Mansion, or Stilton Manor with time travel using the Timepiece artifact; both allow cool gameplay things to be done.

    In stealth, darkness still offers shelter only at a certain distance and I still find this gameplay approach to be mostly bad. I think Clockwork Soldiers are unbalanced as it's not fair they see even from behind. Also, optional or not, I think a run without powers (which I did) it's impossible to be done wholly stealthily and further refined game design would have fixed this issue. I would say enemy AI still has some issues but got better.

    Dishonored 2 is, of course, graphically nicer than the first game, but to tell the truth it's simply not as bad as the first at the time of its release was, quite the contrary. Again, its art style impacted but positively this time. The audio and music component of the game is of great quality.

    Dishonored 2 is a sequel that lived up to expectations, at least for me. If I had to choose, I would probably choose the first Dishonored, because that's where raw feelings are. But Dishonored 2 it's brilliant, deep, and intriguing, even if not without flaws. A video game that Dishonored fans will love.    … Expand

    A good game, though it does not live up to its predecessor. Retains the combat, graphics, and player-driven choices, but doesn't hold onto the fun and excitement of the first game. Solid sequel still for those looking for more Dishonored.

    This one is the best game of all the Dishonored games, it´s pretty cool and this game will likely stay printed in your mind for years since it´s so nostalgic and amazing

    A great, flexible game with a lot of replayability. Do you want to be a vicious murderer killing everyone in your path? Or do you want to be a silent rogue, sneaking through levels without touching a single enemy? Very fun.

    Significantly more difficult than the first game. The gameplay and graphics are hugely improved, as is the story. Definitely recommend it if you enjoyed the first Dishonored.

    Don't take it too seriously. Go for fun, which in this case means being as flash and flamboyant as possible when dispatching the opposition.

    Some of the worst writing I've ever seen in a videogame, and that's saying something. The cutscenes are absolutely unbearable, and skipping through them just leaves a clunky, mediocre stealth action game that has way, way too high an opinion of itself. Strong recommendation to avoid.

    The addition on an entirely new playable character with unique abilities adds a whole depth of replayability. The powers are interesting and diverse, and better balanced and allow for more engaging non-lethal gameplay with Mesmerize and Domino. The additional enemy types test your full repertoire and have unique combat patterns and ways to approach handling them.

    Level designs are absolutely top notch allowing for both powered & unpowered traversal of the map, densely packed with alternate routes and hidden treasures. Without getting into spoilers, some of the levels are absolutely fascinating with their unique aspects (shifting level design, multiple factions, natural phenomena that influence perception).

    Following on the coat tails of the first Dishonored, the second one manages to be better in some fashions and even more so in challenges (a true one is mentally tiring to figure out and worth sinking your teeth into) unless you cheat and use YouTube.

The narrative so far reminds me of Alice in Wonderland: A Wrinkle In Time where two sisters have been at odds since their mean little girl games long ago which made the younger sister big-headed and turned her into the queen of hearts. Of course this game like the previous follows every known steampunk work back to Jules Verne yet adds the punk spirit to the story so it isn't just another simple family adventure or Disneyfied story. So far there hasn't been any sexuality (like the golden cat in the first game) but there is plenty of violence, crude characters, uses of drug or alcohol and clear attempts at villains spewing propaganda (which is considered something only adults can handle since understanding the difference between bubble perspective and reality isn't something adolescence is equipped for). In some ways the story struck me between Jessamine and Delilah as a Lily vs. Petunia in the Harry Potter novels style rivalry only Petunia didn't orchestrate the darkness in Harry's life as Delilah did for Dunwall. Still one cannot deny the amount of Steampunk in Dishonored 2 which makes it now only right that CDProjektRed now has to make a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, a sort of continuum of where the city left off and maybe a character who attempts to diffuse another big war. Anyway, different topic, different game. I had a lot more fun with the non-lethal playthrough though the clockwork mansion had one upped a simple geek like me as math isn't my forte. Again if I see not one brothel or courtesan or any other mentions of an orgy throughout the game I'll call it an accomplishment, the most M for mature this game gets is the violence and practically being as violent as any horror or Mortal Kombat game, then again not every R Rated movie or M Rated game has to have sex to merit the rating!!! It's all about context here and the context so far has largely been squeeky clean apart from the violence and otherwise.… Expand

    Overall solid game. It's a series I will hope to see more of if anything. I did feel like some things were kind of annoying to do in regards of gameplay, but that's personal preference. Hopefully more fluidity and different choices of abilities in the next one? I know DOTO came out and I have yet to try that, but we'll see.

    It feels more like a continuation of Dishonoured 1 rather than a fully new title in itself, with most elements carried over as is. This time the setting is post-rat plague, but the city is no less rotten.

    This time as advertised you can play as either Corvo or his now-adult daughter Emily Kauldwin. The other will be locked in stone for most of the gameplay so the decision is permanent unless you start a new game. Emily also has some different powers than Corvo and cannot possess animals and humans. “Blink” becomes “Far reach” though they are basically the same. As with the first game you have the same choose your playstyle and you will be rated for how violent/peaceful (chaos level) your actions were which affects how the world looks.
    No rat hazard (usually) this time, instead the buildings are infested with bloodfly nests, The red honeycomb-like structures are swarmed with the flies and you can choose to destroy the nests and risk attack of the bloodflies or slowly sneak past. You get money from a gem from the nests so there is a benefit to the former. Bone charms and runes are also often located in the same area if you want to take the risk.

    Some particularly interesting levels in this game are the clockwork mansion full of shifting walls and rooms, stairs, and tables that change at the pull of a lever or press of a button, and you can sneak around the walls and back ways ‘like a rat’ and see how it works (it’s also part of the intended route). Beware the clockwork soldiers however, powerful robots who can look both in front and behind but will not distinguish between enemy and ally (guards) when the head is destroyed.

    There is also the time travel piece that allows you to instantly warp between the present, a crumbling mostly abandoned mansion, and the past when it was a place of luxury, and see what happened and perhaps change history. You lose most of your powers on this level so have to rely on time travel to dodge around enemies, especially if going for low chaos.

    I played it (mostly) twice so I think it’s good. The levels above make it particularly unique, the time travel one especially.    … Expand
