    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.

    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.

    Fantastic video game! Super fun as exciting and, above all, fascinating.
    Kudos to the developers for hunting this pearl in an increasingly barren market. Well done!

    P.S. it works great

    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.

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

    When they say you can play your own way they meant it. I cannot stop playing this game and always go back to it. You can play as either Corvo or Emily and both have their own supernatural abilities so playing both is refreshing. The graphics are perfect and fit in with the style of the game. No performance issues on PS4 and it runs extremely well. If I could give this game a higher score IWhen they say you can play your own way they meant it.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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.

    i didn't think anything could match up to what the first one did for me but god dammit Bethesda did it and they made even MORE fun to play. i do find some aspects of this game lacking but it makes up for it in the gameplay mechanics and the expansion of the lore and world. yet again this and the first will be one of my favorite games of all time.

    This new game offers the option of selecting to play with corvo or emily, which is awesome in terms of replayability. Also, it is much more detailed in terms of play style at the end of each mission. And highly improved AI considering the first game.
