    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    This game has had a less than stellar launch on PC. 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.

    The first Dishonored    This game has had a less than stellar launch on PC. 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.

    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, who 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 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

But not Dishonored 2, no. Graphics don't impress. AI also disappoints. All of this should have been much better. The only good things are environment and locations, maybe art-direction.

    I haven't had any issues with optimisation on PS4 (digital), except for long loading of the second location (like an hour!).

    DISAPPOINTED! Glad that I've bought it in December with about 45% off.    … Expand

Also, the ending scene is jarringly lackluster. There is no final dialogue sequence between the characters - after you spent 20 hours or more uniting Corvo and Princess whatshername. What in the hell? These things seem to indicate the studio did not have enough time to complete the game, which would have otherwise been a timeless masterpiece in the vein of Bioshock. Hopefully they continue to polish the end game with free patches and DLC, both of which they have indicated they are going to do.

    Dishonored 2 is just as good, if not better, than the first game. Level design is more complex and interesting, story missions are longer and more involved, the environments are dripping with atmosphere, and the gameplay -- some input lag aside -- is pitch perfect.

    This is the best pure stealth game this generation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a sequel I give this a solid 6.

    Were this the first time I had ever played the series I would give it a 7 or 8.

    Compared to D1, its just not that much different. A new character, with pretty much the same magic powers. Same weapons and upgrades for the most part. As in D1 I find that I dont even use the vast majority of the powers, as you really dont need to.

    You can either spend 10 minutes on a level, or 2-3 hours depending on how you like to play, which gets a bit boring fast. Sneak, pick up some coins, try to find a rune or bone charm, try not to get discovered. Kill someone/carry someone. Wash, repeat.

    If its your first time with this game (not playing D1 at all) then you may enjoy the slight mix of fallout style play with assassins creed. It does have nice graphics and smooth enough play. It does provide multiple options (sneak/non lethal, sneak/lethal, or all out guns/bolts blazing (though difficult).

    Basically its the same as D1, though not quite as boring and drab.

    Gets old pretty fast, but can be fun to play around with if you just enjoy wreaking havoc and not focusing so much on stealth/non lethal play-style.

    I see myself finishing the game, and deleting it moments later.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dishonoured 2 more than delivers on it's main selling point: more Dishonoured. If you haven't played the original Dishonoured-and please do, as it is another great game-the franchise is orientated around the first-person, stealth-action genre, in which you are given a ridiculous amount of freedom to approach a mission any way you want. In Dishonoured 2, this is even more so as the sprawling urban, steam-punk environments of Dunwall and Karnaca (both offering multiple routes to targets and different ways of accomplishing objectives), the expanded arsenal of lethal and non-lethal weaponry and gadgets, and the insane supernatural powers you character is capable of, all compound to cater to playstyles of all different types. Another new change to the formula, is how Dishonoured 2 gives the option of choosing between two different characters: Corvo Attano (the previous Dishonoured protagonist) and his daughter Empress Emily Kaldwin, with both having their own powers and bearings on the overall plot making the game well worth playing through at least twice. Despite being seemingly flawless, Dishonoured 2's story-although engaging and gripping at times-becomes slightly stale and disjointed in places (sometimes the writing and dialogue feel passable, when it should really be investing the player in the world they are fighting/sneaking through) but it is a real improvement from Dishonoured's average storyline, and does not at all hold back this stellar game in any capacity. Overall, Dishonoured 2 is breath of fresh air in this shooter dominated month and really sates the appetite of anyone hungry for the old days of Thief (not Thief 2014) or those in general who love stealth games (aller MGS or Deus Ex). WELL WORTH PICKING UP!!!… Expand

I love the reward of a stealthy and non-lethal playstyle that I haven't seen in many other games. Coming into Dishonored 2, I was very excited to see what was in store for this new installment from Arkane Studios. And I came out extremely disappointed. There's no doubt that it's a fun game though, albeit a very flawed experience. Since the announcement, the developers promised a lot of change in the game. For starters we have the new setting: Karnaca. Even though there are sections that take place in Dunwall, most of the game is in Karnaca. This isn't a problem, though. The change in setting feels nice and adds a softer brighter tone to the game. But to be honest, this is the only thing that's changed in Dishonored 2. The only other thing that's changed is the new playable character, Emily Caldwin. You still have the option to play as Corvo, but I decided to see what Emily had to offer first. Clearly this game was meant to be played with her because going back and playing as Corvo, nothing has changed about him. His powers are exactly the same as they were in the original game, which won't really matter if you select No Powers mode. After my first playthrough, I felt like I had already seen everything there was to see. Not even the dialogue changes on the second run. They just replaced all the times Emily said Corvo with Corvo saying Emily. Come to think of it, not even playing as Emily is that different. All of her powers are mirror images of what Corvo's were in Dishonored 1 and are in Dishonored 2. While we're on the topic of powers, I'd like to bring up the fact that the upgrade system hasn't had any improvements. Don't get me wrong, I liked the upgrade system in the original, but there's so much room for improvement that they passed up on. In fact, they've kind of made it worse. The idea is that you look for items called Runes that you can use to unlock different powers and upgrades. Looking for Runes in Dishonored 1 was easy, and a nice distraction. In this game, it's a waste of time. They've made every Rune harder to find, and I've found myself spending almost 30 minutes on different Runes before I finally said **** it." The level design doesn't help with this problem either. And now we get to talk about that. The level design. It's atrocious. It can't even compare to the original's. For those of you who haven't played Dishonored, the game isn't open world, but each level is huge and filled to the brim with places to explore and collectibles to find. Dishonored 2 has one of those things, and that's the collectibles. Instead of being outside most of the time, almost every level in Dishonored 2 takes place indoors. Sure you have to be outside first to get to the building you're going to, but that's still a small portion of the level. Being inside makes the game way more difficult than it should be, even unfair sometimes. For people who want to do a Ghost run, you're going to be miserable here because most of the time there's nowhere to hide, and if you get caught, the only other option is running, which drains all of the fun out of the game. And even when you're inside most of the time, finding Runes is somehow still a pain in the ass. Jeez, it really feels like they wanted you to hate the level design. For a game that promised change from the original, all it feels like is a big-budget DLC. 7/10.… Expand

    3. Both protagonists are nicely voiced, and they both talk a lot. Since I'm a devoted Stephen Russell's fan since 1998, I personally prefer to hear Corvo's voice :).
    4. The world around you is alive. The Karnaca's street musicians sing *nice* songs, and the people around hear and applaud them. The City Watch cops whine about their cloths and boots, and even sing sometimes, too :). People at Karnaca's port are doing their own business: fishing, sawing, selling, discussing, looking for job. You can share a coin with beggars, and they can tell something useful in return. You can save an innocent people from the City Watch's tyranny, and they will thank you for this. Also, there is a time travel in the game, and you'll have to change something in the past to reach your goals in the present. My first playthrough took more than 60 hours - isn't that nice?

    Played the first DIshonored and I thought it was fine, but nothing I'd replay again after one run. Ok let get it out of the way the melee combat is basic and glitch ridden. Stealth take downs are easier and the powers mostly work ok.

    The strength of this game is the exploration factor and figuring out different routes and ways to achieve set goals, maybe? Story starts out a nearly a copy paste of the first games so kind of lazy writing. The VA is polished, but nothing gripping and it just works. Half through the game the drops a lazy villains exposition scene to the heroine in of all places a dream sequence. So yeah cliché and trope out of 10.

    The game also started to to drag around the half way mark. Not hunting for every bit currency in each level made me realised I'd missed out on a score of potential upgrades half way in. If I just chose one route and no back tracking or check the other routes I would of had even way less currency, skill points and ability pick ups. So the game kind of forces you to waste time and go off the beaten path for much need fun goodies. Was this game supposed to have MT, because the constant off the beaten track item hunts feels like a grind maybe people would pay to avoid or something?

    Initially fun stealth action game that show it's cracks later on. As in wasting the players time with lazy padding to get the fun cool stuff.    … Expand

Gameplay has been improved, and Emily's powers are just different enough from Corvo without being too different. The first area without any powers was rough going, but once I got Far Reach (Blink equivalent) and Dark Vision I was having a blast again. Highly recommended… Expand

    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.

    I enjoyed the first Dishonored with a fresh new take on stealth with Bethesda base gameplay of slashing, looting, exploration, and a total different atmosphere the game gives off. It is a beloved IP that most players agree had a significant draw to the players because of its look. I myself thought the game was well-made and brilliant on its design. Now with the game having its sequel,I enjoyed the first Dishonored with a fresh new take on stealth with Bethesda base gameplay of slashing, looting, exploration, and a total different atmosphere the game gives off. It is a beloved IP that most players agree had a significant draw to the players because of its look. I myself thought the game was well-made and brilliant on its design. Now with the game having its sequel, does it fair better than its predecessor or does it fall ill to the consumers taste?

    Story - 15 years after the first one, the damsel in the first game, Emily Kaldwin, is now empress to Dunwall. A power struggle comes in to play as the antagonist Delilah steals the throne forcefully. The player in that moment gets to pick between Emily or Corvo. Between the two, as the player plays through the game, both characters give out a total different experience and point of view as they narrate their own thoughts of the events happening in the game. It gives a simple revenge story more depth with Emily understanding the world evolving around her or when Corvo tells his story on how the experiences he's been through.

    Graphics - The game retains its unique look and with better texutres and lighting, the game flourishes with atmosphere and oozes style. It's not groundbreaking graphics with the game having a few graphical glitches and mediocre explosions but the use of the motion blur from doing assassinations is in great use. The character models has a unique look to them with each npc to the main character. The animation is also great in the game with each attack the player hits on another enemy gives a very satisfying impact and the use of the powers given by the Outsider feels powers with a reality distortion feel.

    Gameplay - Dishonored 2 still retains its heavy based stealth gameplay with even more options to proceed through the levels. The level designs of the game also don't restrict the given use of the mix between powers and movement, giving even more variety to the game. One level especially as the player is given a time manipulation device that lets the player travel in between times in a mansion. And given with new ammo types and moves to subdue the players opponent, the game feels more fleshed out and more responsive.

    Dishonored 2 is another well-made game and a worthy successor to the first Dishonored. With a new environment to explore, new characters to see, and a responsive gameplay flow, Dishonored 2 is a buy for fans of the first. For new comers though, I would say wait for a sale or until the game patches in because I am having a terrible experience in loading in my own personal game saves as the game crashes everytime I load a save that I personally made myself unless it's an auto-save.    … Expand

    Dishonored 2 is a first person exploration stealth game at heart, although you can play it as an all out attack FPS shooter too. For me, I really enjoyed playing stealthily with no killing, exploring every inch of each level, listening to every conversation, talking to every NPC, doing every side activity, reading every lore entry, book, letter I could find. The powers I used playing as Emily were so different and unique than what I remembered last playing as Corvo in Dishonored 1.

    Story wise, Dishonored 2 excels in world building and immersion if you take the time to read every lore entry, speak to all NPCs, and piece together the information. If you decide not to do any of these, the main plot is pretty straightforward and simple to follow, not requiring much knowledge of the previous game or the current optional world lore. It allows you to tailor your own narrative experience. I highly recommend taking your time and just lose yourself in the beautiful world of Karnaca.

    Graphics are astounding! Hugely improved from Dishonored 1, with everything so intricately designed with a high level of detail. Character faces take on a unique artstyle that will stand the test of time, not going for realism like Uncharted or Horizon but instead a style unique to Arkane studios.

    Two specific missions sealed this game for me. You will be mindblown by the genius in design, creativity and innovation of these two levels. I was constantly saying in my head how I absolutely love this game when I was exploring and experiencing the crazy awesomeness of those two levels. I can't believe I missed this game in 2016. I regret not buying the Collector's Edition, that's how enamored and impressed I am by Dishonored 2 in 2018.

    If you love games like Bioshock and Deus Ex, play this NOW! Those 2 missions in Dishonoree 2, for me, surpassed anything from any FPS game I've ever played.

    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.
    2. Lots of ways of killing - but concentration on peacefull playthrough. I dont know, maybe some kind of non-deadly bullets (from rubber idk) for pistol and more ways of disabling folks might change this? Cause its quite strange when you have a gun in your arm and dagger in another, but try your best to not use them a single time throughout the game.    … Expand

The level design is the best in the entire genre and the AI is very intelligent. Civilians challenge you if you are in a restricted area, guards actively surround you and swing below your block. Hell they'll even get suspicious about a door you left carelessly open.

    A goddamn door!

    Even so, it isn't without its issues.

    Firstly, I'm on PC and right now the performance is TERRIBLE! The frame rate so bad it easily gets me killed in combat or gets me spotted really easily. The game is shorter than the first (9 missions compared to 10) and while they are largely well crafted, a few more would have greatly helped. The bone charm crafting wasn't as in depth as I had first thought. No crafting of new bone charms, merely combining current traits into one bone charm. The lack of a mission selection screen feels incredibly wrong and the lack of a new game+ is disappointing.

    That big block of negativity may have you wonder why I gave this a 9 but really they are all nit picks of mine. The PC issue will be patched soon, the missions are well crafted and saves can easily take the place of mission selectors.

    Dishonoured 2 is easily one of the best games to come out this year which is a relief in an industry bloated with greedy money driven companies (I'm looking at you EA). Dishonoured 2 is a welcoming breath of fresh air. Just wait for the patch in PC first.    … Expand

Dishonored 2 however can not be forgiven for not improving over the first game. It actually feels more like a long DLC rather than a new, fresh game.

At the time it was a great game, it had issues but they could be forgiven as it was the first game in the series. Dishonored 2 however can not be forgiven for not improving over the first game. It actually feels more like a long DLC rather than a new, fresh game.

    So here are the problems I have with Dishonored 2.

    The Heart. The heart is basically a navigation tool used to locate bone charms and runes. These are used for leveling your character. Because they are vital to creating a stronger and more versatile character you really need to find them. This is when the problems occur. You spend most of your time getting frustrated by following the heart only to find a dead end and no reasonable route to get to where the bone charm/rune is located. So you walk around, look for gaps or platforms or ladders or cellars or windows. This becomes a repetitive annoyance that breaks the immersion and simply irritates the player. I felt like most of my time i was looking at the rune/bone charm icons instead of enjoying the game. This was such a big deal that it completely ruins the game.

    The second issue I have is with enemy AI. It is ridiculously sensitive meaning that stealth seems impossible. Many times I was completely hidden only for enemies to know exactly where I was, alerting every other enemy in the area to all come to the same point. It was laughable at times. It meant I stopped bothering to try and sneak and scope the area out, I just ended up storming in and fighting.

    Story. The story just didn't appeal this time. It didn't seem worth investing time into and I didn't care what about the characters.

    There is fun to be had in the game, especially once you do level your character up but it seemed a long slog to get there. The graphics were decent enough and the world looked decent. Sound and music were fine but nothing outstanding.

    Dishonored 2 doesn't feel like its moved on from the first game. It's not a bad game, but an average one at best. It's a shame that the dev team didn't improve on the leveling system or combat or story or AI because it could have been a good follow up. Sadly it didn't quite work.    … Expand

    Возможно я бездарь и инвалид,но эта игра слишком сложная. На секунды вышел тебя обнаружили и начинаются поиски. Приходится тратить все ресурсы и убивать боссов, а не убирать без крови.

    Can't even play the game. It's broken and the devs made zero effort to fix it. It has already been a week at the time of writing this review, nothing has been done.

    Dishonored 2 improves everything that was lacking about the original. If you enjoy immersive-sim style games that encourage creativity in how you tackle the many varied environments, this is the game for you. The game systems are deep and allow for a vast amount of customization, though they can be exploited in ways that make the game too easy.

    A Evolução Em Comparação Ao Dishonored 1 É Muito Clara, A Jogabilidade Em Geral É Ótima!
    Emily É Uma Personagem Tão Carismática Quanto o Corvo. Um Ponto Muito Positivo Foi A Opção De Jogarmos Com Corvo ou Emily, Dois Protagonistas Fantásticos! O Jogo Não Possui Bugs Que Atrapalhem A Gameplay Do Jogador Em Nenhum Momento, Tudo Funciona Muito Bem...    - Review Verdadeira, Sincera [PT-BR] -

    O Jogo Não Possui Bugs Que Atrapalhem A Gameplay Do Jogador Em Nenhum Momento, Tudo Funciona Muito Bem... Isso Demonstra Uma Evolução Enorme Em Relação A Dishonored 1.
    Graficamente Falando, O Jogo Deu Um Salto Fantástico; Semelhando Ao Que Aconteceu Com BioShock Infinite Em Relação Ao BioShock 2.
    Resumindo... O Jogo Melhora Em Tudo Com Relação Ao Primeiro Game e Ainda Inova Com Dois Personagens Carismáticos!

    The game was great people complaining about the game not going to 60fps. TBH i bet their pc,s cant even reach 60 anyways. The new powers from Emily are an amazing addition. Even though corvo was in the last game with the voice actors and new upgrade trees it definitely freshens him up. The missions are masterful. They are so dense and vibrant. The game is pretty much open world. The artThe game was great people complaining about the game not going to 60fps. TBH i bet their pc,s cant even reach 60 anyways.

Buy it anyways… Expand

    Dishonored 2 is OK. That's it. I love the first dishonored and played through it around 5-10 times. Dishonored 2 just feels like a big Add-on. There is barely anything original going on. For some this might be good, but for anyone who already played dishonored 1 a few times this is just going to end up collecting dust on the shelf after the first playthrough because it's just so damnDishonored 2 is OK.

For some this might be good, but for anyone who already played dishonored 1 a few times this is just going to end up collecting dust on the shelf after the first playthrough because it's just so damn "safe". It's pretty much the same story and pretty much the same gameplay. This game lacks in every aspect - the story is just a re-hash of the first one, the gameplay is so un-innovative it could be a mod for dishonored 1 and the graphics are actually worse in some parts than in D1.

    If that was what you were hoping for then go and get dishonored 2 because it's just more of the same. The exact same.

    If you wanted any fresh ideas and intresting features then don't waste your money on this. Seems like Dishonored was a one-hit wonder after all. Shame really.    … Expand

    Really disappointed with the PS4 pro support.
    No supersampling enabled for owners of 1080p TVs.
    The game looks really blurry and is often not fluid... It feels like a PS3 game...

    As a story, it may well be lacking, but as a collection of expertly crafted play spaces where design and mechanics reinforce and respond to your agency in myriad delightful and engaging ways, Dishonored 2 is pure magic.

    While patrolling that retail space, you’d be mad to ignore this as it lurks in the corner. It’s every inch a killer game, and worthy of Lasting Possession. [January 2016, p68]

    Despite a handful of minor issues, then, and occasionally patchy framerates in particularly busy areas, Dishonored 2 is consistently remarkable. [Jan 2017, p.102]
