    It sure is a good game but not brilliant. I liked it somewhat and i appreciate the art style but honestly it's kinda boring after a couple of hours. And no, i don't think it's a perfect stealth game. It's good for sure but i don't really get the hype around the series.

    A great game inferior to the first game but still amazing fasesa that let you exercise your creativity freely to achieve your goals the way you want.
    an interesting desing of the city of karnaka that seems alive.

    The only downside of the game is the shallow story with little charisma compared to the first.

    Although I wish it were much longer, and there aren't many locations to explore, making the game feel significantly smaller than its predecessor, "Dishonored 2" is a great sequel that builds on the mythology and has a very good story.

    It is pretty similar to the original gameplay wise. Story is good, although it could have been better. Atmosphere, level design and gameplay are excellent.

    Dishonored 2 was a great sequel to the unforgettable experience in Dishonored 1. The developers added so many awesome game mechanics that are really fun. To me, none of it seemed redundant or pointless. Everything was effective in the right situation. The map design in each level allows for extensive experimentation, and it also rewards you with bonuses for exploring to nonessential areas.Dishonored 2 was a great sequel to the unforgettable experience in Dishonored 1.

    There are basically two ways you can play this game and I'm pretty sure you're gonna have fun with either, especially if you enjoyed the first one. The plot is kind of simple, and it works, but this game's looks are pretty amazing.

    Dishonored 2, much like the first one, is a steampunk blessing.

    Una muy grata sorpresa. Había mirado para comprarme en Game el yakuza kiwami que tenían por 25 euros pero al ir a pedirlo en la caja me dijeron que no les quedaban copias.

Yo me compro los juegos en físico normalmente de segunda mano para poder revenderlos, ya que juego mucho y si no me dejaría un montón de dinero. Así que busqué por las estanterías y me encontré este juego por 20 €. Bethesda suele rebajar mucho sus juegos con el tiempo. Ya me pasó con el Skyrim que me pillé casi sin conocerlo y acabé echándole 200 hora. Está muy bien por razones obvias, y no habría comprado este juego tampoco de no haber estado tan rebajado.
    Antes de comprarlo, sólo sabía lo que había visto en los anuncios de la tele. Me pareció un AAA de acción y al verlo tan rebajado me lo acabé comprando porque pensé que me lo jugaría una vez y lo revenderia. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Es un juego de sigilo (mi género favorito) muy original y que me ha encantado. Me lo he pasado tres veces y pienso pasármelo una cuarta, ya que no voy a venderlo porque es uno de mis 3 juegos favoritos de PS4. Toda una sorpresa!.
    No había jugado nunca a un juego de sigilo en primera persona. Sin los poderes sería imposible, pero con ellos se puede planear estrategias y se gana en inmersión.
    El diseño de niveles es espectacular. Mención especial para la mansión mecánica, uno de los mejores niveles que he jugado en mi vida. Historia de los videojuegos en mi humilde opinión. También muy reseñable el nivel de la máquina del tiempo. Supongo que ya lo habrán hecho otros juegos antes, pero yo es la primera vez que juego un nivel así y me ha parecido espectacular.
    También está muy bien el dibujado y estilo del mundo y de los personajes. Muy original y además está bien que cambien algunas cinemáticas por comics. Supongo que les ahorrará costes pero queda muy bien y con mucho estilo. Ahora que se dice que los AAA son muy caros y que tienen mucho riesgo de no recuperar la inversión, que recorren en esas cinemáticas no me parece mal.
    En resumen es un juego de sigilo que funciona de maravilla y que sólo tiene algunas pegas. Para mí la más importante es que el sistema de lucha cuerpo a cuerpo es confuso y está mal hecho.
    Por otra parte he leído que se le achaca que es muy similar al primero. Yo no lo jugué así que este me ha parecido un juegazo. Totalmente recomendado!    … Expand

    A wonderful continuation of the first game. I love that you can play either corvo or emily, with both having unique powers. New and fun ways to transverse the world, and see how the world has developed after the rat plague. The biggest complaint is that the villain is completely forgettable and uninteresting.

    Estava indeciso entre o 7 e o 8 mas dei 8 porque é muito parecido com o primeiro jogo e o primeiro era mesmo muito bom. Contudo, se a formula continuar igual no próximo jogo a pontuação vai diminuir. O próximo tem que melhorar em muitos aspectos. Ainda assim, bom jogo.

    Pros: -Level Designs were fun and never repetitive. Each new section of the world had its own identity.
    - Great ascetics. The world felt alive.
    - High replayability. Being able to pick between Corvo and Emily and their own respective play styles made the game feel fresh. Experimenting with their powers was always entertaining and gave me some pleasant surprises.

    Cons: -The overall story itself seemed like a retelling of the first game and was rather predicable. The worst let was how the story was told to the players. The dialogue between you and the other characters of the game were rather elementary, making it painfully obvious when you were about to make a story line changing decision. The "wrap up" conclusion you are given after you beat the game felt like a cliffnotes edition of the story where it simply just told you what happened to the people you spared or killed, making it feel as though your decisions didn't impact the game in any tangible and meaningful way.
    -The clunky controls were hard for me to get past at the beginning. I was never able to feel like I had full control over my character, making it difficult for my to gain full confidence and fluency when having to make quick changes between powers in the heat of a battle, and it almost made it impossible to get coins out of a cash register without closing and opening it a couple times to get that last coin in there.

    Overall it was a good game. I have no regrets of playing it and certainly had fun playing it when everything came together. The combinations of some of the powers were truly brilliant and there was one level towards the 3/4 of the way done mark that I thought was a masterclass in level design. Anyone who enjoyed the first entry in this series should have no problems getting behind the mask of Corvo one more time, or the equally enjoyable choice of playing as the sly Empress.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a huge fan of the original game. Have played it over hundred times (Not metaphorically), but I'm a realist and some kind of developer myself so I can't ignore a flaw when I see one.

    I will start with a look of course. Graphically game is amazing. I never doubt it would be so. I played game on PS4 and it's very good there. Still some performance issues, but very little. It's surely better than in original game, but it would be strange if it wouldn't be.

    Gameplay have also become much more interesting. I wished in first game there was more ways to neutralize enemies without killing and second game did provide. I wished there was more freedom and second provided me with this too. I didn't get much into Emily's abilities tho. Her "blink" when fully upgraded is a great tool for fun. Especially when used with domino. Throw multiple enemies into you - that's fun. I play this game in second time now as Corvo and it feels cooler. Blend time, possession...it never gets old.

    But then there's a story. Which is also good, but...is it just as good as original game?
    You may think original game's story also was predictable, but dishonored 2 has nothing to predict. It's just like a corridor. You've been thrown off your throne and now you must take it back by eliminating all these people. Done? Congrats. You've completed the game. Really? I thought there would be something... anything! Couldn't they add more personages? Why it's a ship without a crew? Or this captain can do all on his own with one f***ing arm and eye? Wouldn't we like to see there more people with their interests in what we're doing? With their own story and quests?
    There was a butler and two maids of sort in the first game.
    I think our ship in Dishonored 2 is a poor thing.

    I would like to see huge crew and some mutineer in it. Someone who would be on his own mind, too smart to blindly follow orders, he'd betray protagonist and his friends, give up ship to soldiers or Delilah because protagonist doing dark **** If game was at low chaos there would be only soldiers against you on the ship and man from the crew that ain't gave up would be captured, but if high chaos most man would be persuaded by mutineer to go against you and one that don't would be killed. That's cool right? Not a great twist, a bit self repeating, but it's already something.

    Also Duke knew Sokolov was on this ship why he haven't inspected it when strange things started to occur and everybody searched for our hero? He can't be that stupid.

    And then there's an end. Where Outsider shows you what you've done and it's so...so short and plain? I think outsider lost not the voice only in sequel, but all his magic of speech with it. Listening what you have done in original game was something. It could touch very fabric of your soul or is it what "Honor for All" does?

    Game is great anyway. Graphic is wonderful. Gameplay is amazing. Story is good.
    It's still a game to spend months playing same levels over and over again. Wait...where's "Missions" from the first game?!!

    I would like to give it 10/10, but I just can't.    … Expand

I'm sorry this game doesn't hold your hand and instead makes you have to think and solve problems for yourself, but some people like a challenge. Go back to whatever bland, hand-holding crap you like and leave Dishonored 2 to people who can appreciate it.

    My one con on the game is the story, it's not terrible, but it just doesn't deliver. It's a pretty straight-forward revenge story. But I think it's safe to say Arkane was more focused on the gameplay and the world.

    Also, apologies to PC players, but the PS4 version is not buggy at all.    … Expand
