    Dishonored 2 makes improvements over the original in nearly every aspect from gameplay, soundtrack, and replay value. At the start of the game you're allowed to pick who you want to play as. Will you play as Corvo Attano or, his daughter and empress Emily Kaldwin?

At the start of the game you're allowed to pick who you want to play as. Will you play as Corvo Attano or, his daughter and empress Emily Kaldwin? Regardless on who who choose they all have their own unique abilities, Such as Emily's Shadow Walk which allows you to turn in to a shadow and either kill your enemies knock them unconscious,or slip right by them, and Corvo's ability to summon a swarm of rats to devour his enemies alive. The world of Dishonored 2 allows for many ways to get to your destination, and like the first game you can complete the entire game without killing anyone. The soundtrack is also really good and makes some of the best parts of the game even cooler. The level design is also some of the most unique I have seen in any video game to date. With one level that is a mansion where you have to flip switches to navigate the entire mansion. Every level is like a puzzle that you must figure out on how you're going to get to your destination. Leveling up in this game has also been improved with an ability tree, and you also play though the entire game without any super natural powers. The story is a bit of a let down. It's not bad, but it feels more or less like the same story from the first game. The story overall is still great though. With so many ways to play, everyone who plays Dishonored 2 is going to have something a bit different.… Expand

    This is waaay better than the first one. Between having your choice of protaonists (the familiar or something completely new) to the new, incredibly clever and inventive missions, and the much expanded freedom of how you choose to play, this game far succeeds and builds upon the original.

    just finished my no kill/no detection run (23 hours of ingame time) and this game is just as amazing as the first one. there's tons of replayability with 2 different characters that have unique skills and the fact you can play it as a stealth game or a fighting game or a combination of both (if you have the patience no kill/no detection runs are where the game truly shines imo). also thejust finished my no kill/no detection run (23 hours of ingame time) and this game is just as amazing as the first one. there's tons of replayability with 2 different characters that have unique skills and the fact you can play it as a stealth game or a fighting game or a combination of both (if you have the patience no kill/no detection runs are where the game truly shines imo). also the dev's have said they are adding new game plus and a new game-mode in a free update next month. i heard alot about slow frame rate and bugs after i'd already bought it but in my 30-40 hours of gameplay i have never encountered any bugs/frame rate drop's whatsoever (though i dont doubt they exist)

    tl:dr 100% worth the money cant wait for dlc : )    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Certainly one of the best gaming experience I've ever had. Just so polished in every aspect, so much attention to detail, so much freedom, so many possibilities, and so immersive. A huge thank you to all the people who were involved in the making of this fantastic game.

    One of the best games of stealth or if you decide "a first person shooter". You take the choice, how to proceed. Like the first game, but better. Brillant, for me, i love it. Play it, you have to.

    More of Dishonored with enough changes and tweaks to keep it new and interesting. The story continues from the first game and DLCs and is still amazing.

    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.

    The GOAT Stealth Game

    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.

    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

    Dishonored 2 is a great game for those who never played the first game and for returning gamers who enjoyed Dishonored. Its challenging gameplay, collectibles and the ability to experience the game’s story from two different points of view are more than enough to keep you interested.

    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.
