    Direção de Arte: do Dishonored 2 é uma evolução superior ao primeiro jogo da serie, personagem mais vividos e cenário mais colorido e brilhosos nota:10
    Gráficos: Graficamente , comparado ao primeiro Dishonored , a evolução desde é 1000% POREM , comparando novamente aos games da época como por exemplo Final Fantasy XV, Forza Horizon 3 Dishoroned 2 está atrás , porem não é ruim , é bem competente . Nota:8
    Narrativa: ainda prefiro a narrativa do primeiro Dishonored , a do segundo jogo acredito que esteja mais clichê que o primeiro , uma narrativa de recupera o trono , Emily perde ele no começo por uma suposta Irmã da sua mãe , ela é extremamente forte e a Emily precisa descobrir como ferir a usurpadora do trolo de Dunwall, mas em Dishonored 2 você podera escolher , qual protagonista você quer jogar , você pode escolher entre o Corvo e a Emily , Por ter essa escolha ganha uns pontos. Nota: 8
    Performance: está impecável assim como seu antecessor . Nota :10
    Gameplay : É incrivelmente semelhante ao primeiro Dishonored porém com MUITA mais variações de escolha , começando com quem você quer seguir sua jornada , com Corvo ou Emily , dependendo da sua escolha , você também tem a Opção de RECUSAR obter os poderes , Emily e corvos tem habilidades de inicio exclusivas caso você queira aceitar ter os poderes , e tudo isso muda completamente a game play com poderes ou sem , com Stelf ou não a gameplay é variada , e muito bem feito. nota: 10
    Media final: 9,2
    Conclusão , Dishonored 2 é um sucesso competente ao primeiro jogo melhorando ainda mais a variedade de gameplay , recomendo jogar o jogo não pela narrativa , mas pela game play

    The worthy continuation of the worthy original

    It’s always scarry to start a new part of your favorite game series, and it was the same for me. Fortunately, Arcane didn’t only lose the spirit and charme of the first part but also upgraded it, added a lot of new mechanics, deepened the story and managed to present the gamers second amazing game about Corvo and grim industrial renaissance
    The worthy continuation of the worthy original

    It’s always scarry to start a new part of your favorite game series, and it was the same for me. Fortunately, Arcane didn’t only lose the spirit and charme of the first part but also upgraded it, added a lot of new mechanics, deepened the story and managed to present the gamers second amazing game about Corvo and grim industrial renaissance England.

    Gameplay 10/10
    + One of the main strengths of this game is the uniqueness of almost every level in the game. There are just 9 there, but each of them have its own atmosphere, gameplay and scenario features. It make you feel like you are playing 9 different games inside one big game.
    + Incredible level of variability: there are 2 big approaches to go through any level: stealth or assault but it’s just approaches. Because both assault and stealth can be absolutely different.
    + Super-interactive world: there are so many details which you can affect and use. For instance, when you are blinking or running or dropping the body and barely touch some glass thing like chandelier or wardrobe, it will make a really loud noise.
    + Impact, dynamic and lush fights. I preferred the stealth style but sometimes I saved and went to fight just because I wanted to enjoy this process.
    + You can complete any level in 2 ways: just go to your main goal or to solve some mini-tasks and puzzles on your way. The second way is 3-4 longer than speedrun but firstly, puzzles are really amazing and interesting here and secondly, solving the riddles you earn runes and bone charms, which give you some little but nice bonuses.
    + Great difficulty level and perfect mechanics of making complications for the player. You can’t see the map of the location if you don’t find the fire protection plan of the building or another native style of map. You have to search for the hints, listen to the NPS talkings and explore the world.

    Concept and plot 8/10
    + Almost every decision, action or inaction affects the plot, the world around you, final events and the life of this deplorable world. Even more, all these effects are logical and transparent consequence, not just random things.
    + I’m not going to spoil you, just believe me that the mission “A Crack in the Slab” is exploding the head.
    = The concept, entourage and the world being is the same as it was in the first part so I can say that the dev team didn’t create anything really fresh here. It’s still interesting but it’s the same.

    Visualization 5/10
    + Some battle animations like cutting your enemy into 2 pieces looks really nice
    = In other moments this game do not inspire you by its graphics, fortunately it at least is not ugly and do not disturb you to enjoy gameplay and plot
    = Visualisitaion is not the most important thing here, the drawing is made in classic cartoon style. It’s to you to love this style or not

    Sound 8/10
    = It’s really hard to remember some bright or opposite moment about sound: it’s highlighting the depressing atmosphere of the world

    Le premier Dishonored était de temps en temps assez convaincant et s’affirmait d’emblée comme un concurrent potentiel dans le petit monde des jeux d’infiltration malgré son bizarre aspect de « dessin animé » et son monde « steampunk » assez original mais de mauvais goût artistique.

    Pour cette suite, la technique a fait -on s’en doute- un sérieux bond en avant et propose des graphismes
    Le premier Dishonored était de temps en temps assez convaincant et s’affirmait d’emblée comme un concurrent potentiel dans le petit monde des jeux d’infiltration malgré son bizarre aspect de « dessin animé » et son monde « steampunk » assez original mais de mauvais goût artistique.

    Pour cette suite, la technique a fait -on s’en doute- un sérieux bond en avant et propose des graphismes un peu plus « sérieux » et détaillés. On est passé de l’Unreal 3 au Void qui n’est qu’une itération sévèrement bidouillée de l’Id Tech 5 et bien qu’il ne propose que du 30 im/s sur console (soit deux fois moins que l’Id Tech habituellement) il ne tourne pas sans accrocs, hélas ! sur One, c’est souvent préoccupant à cet égard et pour ma part, il faut la Series X pour que ça tourne enfin nickel ! le flou cinétique semble d’ailleurs avoir été nettement amélioré, ce qui rend le 30 im/s très supportable, ma foi.

    Mais le souci concerne surtout la direction artistique de mauvais aloi, le choix des éclairages et des couleurs et tout un ensemble juxtaposé de choix « artistiques » qui vous éclaboussent de mauvais goût à chaque pas. Ainsi, malgré une technique à la hauteur, Dishonored second du nom est en fait bien plus moche que son prédecesseur ! un comble !

    L’ambiance sonore et surtout la musique discordante plombent encore davantage l’ambiance à ce triste sujet ; heureusement l’excellente VF nous rassérène quelque peu.

    La jouabilité, elle, n’a que peu changé et se révèle toujours aussi soignée avec une prise en main et une interface sans reproche… et de nouveaux pouvoirs très intéressants à utiliser (malgré le souci récurrent de l’arme prioritaire sur les pouvoirs : l’arme occupe toujours une main, même si on n’en veut pas). De même, l’IA générale ne s’en laisse pas compter et si l’histoire n’est qu’une resucée plus ou moins mal maquillée du premier épisode, on adhère sans se faire prier, vu qu’on peut désormais jouer la fille de Corvo ou Corvo lui-même, leur personnalité s’avérant sensiblement différente.

    J’avais avancé un peu lors de sa sortie puis l’avais laissé de côté. J’avais remarqué une bonne quantité de patchs au cours des mois qui suivirent. Désireux de m’y remettre après tout ce temps et après avoir traité les affaires courantes, quelle surprise alors de constater que le jeu plante au moins une fois à chaque lancement et revient au menu principal ! le jeu ne faisait pourtant pas ce genre de merde auparavant. Après son caca nerveux cela dit, il ne plante plus mais bon. A notre époque, c’est hallucinant de voir ça, surtout sur consoles.

    D’ailleurs, il est à noter qu’il dépasse souvent la minute pour charger un niveau pas bien grand, signe que chez Arkane, on a désormais son lot de branquignoles et de pauvres tanches.

    Des problèmes qui ont heureusement tout à fait disparu puisque j’ai refait le jeu entièrement sur Series X et le jeu s’est avéré d’une stabilité parfaite ! Mais il ne s’agit pas du plus gros problème de Dishonored 2 ; non son énorme problème concerne l’organisation de ses niveaux et la nature même de ceux-ci, et notamment trois d’entre eux : le manoir Jindosh, le manoir Stilton et la dernière partie du grand final. Les deux premiers sont tordus et biscornus et plus irritants qu’un casse-couilles chinois. Le grand final pour sa part est trop orienté sur l’action et peut vous poser de sérieux problèmes de furtivité, selon bien sûr les pouvoirs que avez choisi et developpés.

    Cependant, ce n’est pas forcément l’infiltration la qualité première du jeu, vu l’agencement des niveaux tarabiscotés ; ce serait plutôt une approche à la Predator, brutalement furtive, pour ne pas dire ouvertement agressive grâce à une bonne panoplie de gadgets offensifs. Dans l’ensemble, le jeu reste des plus honorables, parfois bien agréable mais aussi très crispant de temps en temps : le bilan reste donc moyen, finalement !

    There's a lot of continuity, and unlike some sequels, it's easy to jump back into the game series, perfect if you've had some time away or changed consoles. I'd recommend playing with controller over keyboard for the combat and movement, especially when in stealth mode.

    This game is flawless in world building, level design, combat freedom, story telling, character arcs, atmosphere, of course stealth, player freedom and agency, moral choices and rpg elements. It has it all. I cannot recommend this game enough and if you have game pass you can play it for free with your subscription which makes it an unbeatable deal.

    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 girlFollowing 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

    Brilliant game, and improves on the first one in every way. The art direction, production, music, atmosphere and level design are astounding. The only issues are it is a little too woke for my tastes, limited abilities and combat mechanics, some achievements not unlocking properly, quests and abilities not functioning as described and an occasional crash.

Story has an interesting lore, but is overall a pretty straightforward one. I personally found the combat to be clunky, and underwhelming overall, in general just dreaded situations where combat was involved, and would just save cheese and continue my low chaos gameplay. Overall gameplay is fine, but can still feel clunky, and controls sometimes feel imprecise. Game can also feel repetitive, but I think it's the nature of the genre, i also just wished the bonecharms that you get from exploring would've been more than just really minor passive bonuses. In the end, this is a decent- good game, where you'll enjoy it's stealth and magic elements, but I think people will find equal amounts of pro and con's throughout every game element in dishonored 2.

    As a big fan of the first game, I would say this one is overall quite good, but a slight disappointment.

Overall though the gameplay additions are small, and more new stuff would have been nice. The setting is great, however; Karnaca is a lot more colorful and less depressing than Dunwall, with some particular standout levels like the Dust District/Manor level. Yet I found myself disappointed with the story; it just kinda fell flat by the end, with a really lame montage to wrap things up that doesn't even tie up all the loose ends. They basically made the same mistakes as they did with Dishonored 1's ending, which really confuses me. I think there's definitely lost potential here, but overall, it's a really fun game with excellent and refined gameplay, and remains at the top of the stealth genre. Expand

    The sequel of one of the most surprising games from the past generation of consoles. A complete game that bring us the possibility to play with the protagonist of the first game, Corvo Attano, and with Emily Kaldwin, that will try to regain the throne that is usurped from her. A special game that is different from most of the games that you can find.

    Dishonored is a great franchise. I love the lore, exploring all of the areas and finding the collectibles. The powers are awesome and the new game plus feature makes subsequent play throughs an absolute blast as you’re able to use your previously obtained runes to obtain all of the powers. Definitely worth playing.

My biggest complaint lies with Bethesda and Zenimax as the publisher and their continual pushing of product out when it's clearly not ready. This half baked launch ethic really hurts games like Dishonored 2 - and I have taken the approach that I will wait at least several months if not a year post release before playing a game published by them . With that being said, Arkane continues to build incredible games and wonderful worlds.

    TL;DNR

    Great stealth action title with options to play in a variety of ways, excellent gameplay mechanics, good sound with a few issues, excellent musical score, great art direction and a solid story within a well developed world with well developed characters. The big take away is, however, that Bethesda and Zenimax continue as publishers to push out product in an unfinished state and hurt their games BADLY by doing so and damage their development team's reputation. Arkane is a great developer and should be afforded the time to get it right on launch.

    Game Play

    Dishonored 2 plays very similarly to Dishonored and the gameplay is spot on for stealth action. While it is possible to play a more assault oriented style, it is, IMHO, more difficult than playing through in a stealth style - with the caveat that the ghost style - no detection and no deaths - is extremely difficult. I seem to default to an assault-non-lethal style of play (bodies get spotted, I get spotted, I just let you live...)

    Sound

    I have one big issue with the game and that is the occasional sound problem - and it happens at the worst time - being a distortion of source to reception volume. On occasion an enemy will sound like they are right next to you - when in fact they are some distance and even floors above or below you and this can be deceiving. While never coaxing me to my death (thank god for vision abilities) it does take away immersion and game flow. Besides those few times this cropped up the sound and music are phenomenal.

    Graphics

    Great graphical fidelity. I happen to really like its steampunk aesthetic and the world is very detailed and enjoyable to interact with and just look at.

    Story

    The story is well told. The writing is fantastic, with a lot of deep lore should you choose to read the myriad of books and notes found throughout the world.

    Voice

    The voice actors do a tremendous job and deliver great performances.

    Don't be fooled by the speed runs and splashy kills on internet videos: Dishonored 2 is still an old school stealth game. There are really few things to do other than stealth (a few puzzles).

There are really few things to do other than stealth (a few puzzles). Particularly in the early missions, the best you can expect when discovered by a group of enemies is to manage to run away. It's surprising how many people didn't even finish the 1st mission because of this (50% completion). You should be ready for repeating the sneak, hide the body, quick save loop 200 times.
    Now if you are into stealth games, most probably you'll play Dishonored 2 regardless of what I write here. But if you are wondering which one to play first (Deus Ex, Prey, Dishonored, Thief, Metal Gear…) this review might help you. First and foremost, Dishonored 2 is more like Dishonored 1.5. Graphics are improved but remain behind the best of what this generation can produce - which is a bit strange if you realise that the whole game consists of around 80 buildings, and it should be easier to optimise visually. Most of the new powers are not so game impacting as the old ones - you'll still solve most problems by teleporting. The world is still well built, with even more incidental detail and random NPC chats, but with all NPCs being cartoonish archetypes and most NPCs being there just as obstructions for a single mission, you will care or even remember them even less than the named monsters from Prey. The "mission" rigidity is really limiting the freedom and connection with the world (nothing like the exploration in Prey or the amazing Prague hub in the last Deus Ex). Story remains a pretty silly "eliminate one enemy to learn about the next one to eliminate" that's become the running joke of Assassin Creed games. But all this wouldn't be bad if the game managed to maintain its focus on its smart powers. Unfortunately an increased emphasis on collectables and RPG-esque elements makes it feel more like busywork, as you'll sneak into every single room to get usually useless bonecharms. By the end of the game you've spent so much time doing the same thing that there's a big chance you won't have the courage to do a second alternate walkthrough (the game tries to encourage you to play as both characters, and see both the Low and High chaos alternatives).
    The game is redeemed exactly at the moments it takes away your powers or challenges your understanding of space. If you know where your next target is, and you can teleport anywhere you can see, after all, space is a solved puzzle. But when you cannot teleport anymore, when you can travel in TIME instead of just space, or when the rooms around you can be rearranged, Dishonored 2 feels fresh again. The clockwork mansion and Stilton's House remain some of the best missions in the history of the genre and make it worthwhile to visit this game. I also enjoyed a lot the first mission as a short diversion into old school Thief gameplay, but your mileage might vary.

    Awesome sequel to an already awesome game, a very well developed story line with excellent game mechanics. This is one game that actually discourages violence if the player wants to have the best ending, at the same time give them a sense of accomplishment with finishing an levels without single casualty.
    Not to mention that they have created a very unique universe with great narrative.

    Dishonored 2's world is big and very detailed with multiple paths and ways to go about it. There are many secrets to discover and puzzles to solve. If you are a fan of the original, then this is the perfect sequel. A great game with the right amount of new techniques and ideas to provide new gamers and fans of the original with a great experience.
