    Excellent game, solid story and combat. I loved the original game but I think this one is a bit better.

    Compre este juego con mucha ilusión ya que el primer Dishonored me encanto pero menuda decepción. El juego no está a la altura del primero ni por asomo y para más inri tiene un parche de 12Gb que aun con el instalado sigue teniendo un montón de problemas. Cosas como fallos de sonido, de las IA de los enemigos, etc...

    A pretty good game when you get into it. It's got some quirks that set it apart from the first game which, personally, make it feel a little less tight mechanically than the first, but the levels are much, much more sprawling and insanely densely packed with things to do and explore. The first game is still better in my opinion, but Dishonored 2 brings so may new things to the table thatA pretty good game when you get into it. It's got some quirks that set it apart from the first game which, personally, make it feel a little less tight mechanically than the first, but the levels are much, much more sprawling and insanely densely packed with things to do and explore. The first game is still better in my opinion, but Dishonored 2 brings so may new things to the table that for the most part work that it's hard to hate it.

    The main problem I have with the game is the comparative looseness compared to the first game in mechanics. Enemies sometime seem to be able to spot you from lightyears away and when you're directly above them, somehow, and some ways you get caught can often feel unfair and not at all the fault of the player. Further there are several bugs that didn't exist in the first game, such as Emily's Far Reach instant killing you for no reason, and an arc pylon that didn't shut off even though I had removed its power source entirely leading to another instant death.

    It was due to these that I despised the game at first, putting it down for three years until a repeat playthrough of the first game and its DLC rekindled an interest in giving it another go. The finicky nature of the game compared to the first one set me off just as much as it had before, and by the third mission, the one I'd clocked out on the first time, I was still having an experience that ranged from lukewarm to terrible. After that, however, I slowly began to get a feel for how the game worked different from the first, and outside a few weird hiccups I began to really sink into it, until by the end I was absolutely hooked.

    Took a bit for me to come around to it, but if you just stick with it, chances are you'll fall for it just as hard as the first one. I'll still hold the first game as superior in my heart, but I'm planning on putting in multiple playthroughs of its sequel just the same.    … Expand

    The best immersive sim and stealth game. The plot, unfortunately, is much weaker than the first part. But it would be unfair to the genre to downgrade the rating because of the plot.

    Uninteresting story and characters that fall flat compared to the first game, two characters with the same story but different (and cringe) dialogue that often breaks the immersion of you being in a STEALTH, dark and broody game. Copy-paste powers and some weird glitches (walking into a peaceful NPC killed him by throwing him to against a window at 1000km/h which alerted everyone around).Uninteresting story and characters that fall flat compared to the first game, two characters with the same story but different (and cringe) dialogue that often breaks the immersion of you being in a STEALTH, dark and broody game.

    The only thing it has going for it is some very interesting level design like the shapeshifting house, and it's still a Dishonored game, just a more low effort one. Bullcrap DLC though, who cares about that character anyway.    … Expand

    Overall a good game but less inspired and with a weak and predictable story compared to Dishonored 1. The first half is excellent, then it becomes blunt and even boring at times, I had to push myself to finish the last two missions and I ended up with a lot of unused runes. The endings are nothing special and seems to have been rushed just to give a closure to the story.

Diese wurde nochmals perfektioniert und ist nun echt das beste was es gibt. Wie im Vorgänger auch schon ist es ein echt unglaubliches Gefühl quasi völlig frei vorgehen zu können. Sei es vertikal über die map oder sonst wo lang. Arcane Studios schafft wieder ganz eigenes Flair für diese Spiel. Die Atmosphäre ist diesmal im krassen Kontrast zum Vorgänger, macht das Spiel aber überhaupt nicht schlechter. Ich finde es toll das man jedes Mal es so direkt mitfühlen kann. Im 1. Teil noch düster und bedrückend, ist es jz wie im einem Italienurlaub nur mit wesentlich mehr Tod xd. Ich hoffe es gibt noch einen 3.

    Great story and playthrough overall. You have different options in terms of completing objectives. In my case, I am more of an aggressive type causing alot of chaos in the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not quite as good as the first one. Was a much bigger fan of Dunwall than the new setting of Karnaca. That being said, Karnaca does have some pretty great levels (the Clockwork mansion in particular). If you enjoyed the first game, you’ll enjoy this one (and vice versa if you didn’t like the first one). Emily plays very similar to Corvo. I like the play without getting detected, so the only powers I really use are the blink/far reach and dark vision which both characters have so they were almost the exact same thing to me. One change I am not a big fan of is the Outsiders new voice actor. MUCH preferred the actor from the first game, but otherwise no gripes. The actor for Corvo is awesome.… Expand

    The aim acceleration and native input delay (on the PS4 version - NOT the PC version, which is not what you should be basing your reviews on for this entry) make this a gigantic chore to play. If you're used to garbage controls, then I guess it's fine, but for those who are expecting a smooth controlling experience, you might as well play this on PC or go find another game.

    decided to pick the bundle edition with death of the outsider, never played the series but had long admired it on youtube. love the art style, game play looks excellent, narrative and world are fascinating.

    unfortunately i guess the devs have decided to troll console users or something? bc my god this game plays like utter **** on ps4 pro (consoles in general from what i read). its not *technically* unplayable but its def unplayable for me bc after several hours of slogging thru this **** im done with it.

    to start with the FOV is insane, its like looking down a low power telescope and theres no way to change it. its so zoomed in you routinely get hit offscreen by enemies that took two steps and went from right in front of you to off screen. it also makes looting/looking for things a pain.

    right stick/camera movement is just awful - aiming it literally nigh impossible due to some weird camera acceleration that seems to happens when you aim and if you turn sensitivity down youre slow as hell anytime you need to turn. who thought this was a good idea? did they just not test any of this before release? if it was a PC game first (idk if this is the case) fine, just adjust it so it functions on consoles. i really dont understand these decisions.

    the game is not exceptionally difficult, but considering its a 1st person game, these issues just make it frustrating and completely unenjoyable to play, to the point where im done even trying to adapt to it now. which is a shame bc there is a really great game here... its just totally unsalvagable imo, unless they fix these issues (and considering im writing this in 2021 i doubt thatll happen)

    got it for $8, i wouldnt have downloaded and played it if you PAID me $8 knowing what i know now.    … Expand

    This game is great, the story was interesting and the gameplay is pretty good. While the clockwork mansion was quite a chore, and the game can go a little overboard with it's security areas, the gameplay overall was quite great. I loved being able to quickly maneuver, and the stealth felt quite satisfying. Great game.

    A great sequel that has the strengths of Dishonored and improves on it. It is set 15 years after the events of the prequel. Corvo has aged but is far away from retiring. He trained his daughter Empress Emily Kaldwin well in the skills of stealth, infiltration, fighting and assassination as he knows the time will come when her enemies will make their moves. After a coup by Delilah CoppersonA great sequel that has the strengths of Dishonored and improves on it. It is set 15 years after the events of the prequel. Corvo has aged but is far away from retiring. He trained his daughter Empress Emily Kaldwin well in the skills of stealth, infiltration, fighting and assassination as he knows the time will come when her enemies will make their moves. After a coup by Delilah Copperson it is your decision to chose either Corvo or Emily to be the playable character. Dishonored 2 continued were the prequel stopped as best stealth game in years. The setting is dark and matured. It has also a better story than the prequel. It is full of reveals, plots, twists and the old and new characters never fail to deliver. Fans / players of the prequel know Delilah Copperson and will be puzzled how this could be happened as she should be neutralized (Handled in DLC for Dishonored). It is a tough and intense ride to defeat the traitors. The returning old characters that I wont spoil work well. They have also developed during the years that have past and have relatable personalities / motives. For the new ones I think Kirin Jindosh, Aramis Stilton and the Duke of Serkanos (he counts twice ;-) are great additions to the cast and lore. As in the prequel based on your approach / decisions it gets even darker /more hopeless later on. If you kill many guards in one level then the next level will be guarded heavier with more guards (There are also other changes which I won't spoil). It is possible to solve the game without killing anyone or ever get detected. Lets start with the abilities. Again the Outsider a being who is existing between realms and worshiped by some as god and seen by others as evil pagan demon gives you a choice to receive his blessing in form of supernatural abilities (and a mark). You can of cause refuse but I think the abilities are too fun and awesome to avoid. Both Corvo and Emily have unique abilities so you can replay the game with the other one for a different experience. Because Corvos abilities are close to his in Dishonored 1 I favored Emily. The variety is great as there are abilities for stealth, manipulation and fighting. You can learn or upgrade your abilities during the game after reaching special locations. They improve the levels / environments. Like in the prequel the variety in the levels is remarkable. Most times there are multiple ways or approaches for a task. When I replayed a level I often find alternative ways or set things in motion that even change the outcomes. Here in this games are 2 masterpieces with Jindosh mansion he specially created as challenge for intruders or Stiltons mansion with 4th dimensional gameplay (Keep thinking hard what is possible as you can make mayor changes here if you grasp the possibilities correctly). There are some sidequests added to the game atop on collecting valuables, charms (give small bonuses), blueprints, lore and ability points. This variety and the multiple approaches give a lot of replay value. The graphics look great as they have a special art style for the world and characters. I liked that style as it enhances the game. Overall this is a great game that surpasses its predecessor. There is so much to explore, abilities to test / use and different paths to take. An easy recommendation for lovers of stealth games.… Expand

    One of the most underrated games. The level design and character abilities just incorporate perfectly. There’re always multiple solutions to the same task. And the art style is so elegant and beautiful. I really hope people don’t get turn away by its seemingly less colourful visual effects. It’ll be great if Arkane studio can make a sequel...
