About

Dishonored 2 is set 15 years after the Lord Regent has been vanquished and the dreaded Rat Plague has passed into history. An otherworldly usurper has seized Empress Emily Kaldwin’s throne, leaving the fate of the Isles hanging in the balance. As Emily or Corvo, travel beyond the legendary streets of Dunwall to Karnaca, the once-dazzling coastal city that holds the keys to restoring Emily to power. Armed with the Mark of the Outsider and powerful new abilities, track down your enemies and take back what’s rightfully yours.

    In fact, that’s a question that sums up Dishonored 2 as a whole. It’s a fine game that still has all the working components of Dishonored, but crams it full of new ideas that just don’t gel with it. To go with a food analogy, it’s kind of like cake. Eat a perfect piece, and it’s delicious. Try stuffing in more, and you’ll spend the night wondering where it all went wrong.

    Dishonored 2 doesn't veer from the path established by the first game too severely, but given how strong the world and gameplay were it doesn't really have to either. The new locales and villains make for some strong additions to the series, as do the new powers unleashed by Emily Kaldwin. Even with a passable story and ineffective acting, the foundation and gameplay are strong enough to make Dishonored 2 one of the year's best.

    What’s more, a less-than-stellar story aside, Arkane’s compensation in the visual accompaniment — be it interiors, items or dead bodies alike — makes it near-impossible not to get entrenched by the greater and/or collective presentation on show, no matter how subtle the offering may be. Dishonored 2, with its refined mechanics and expanded gameplay following suit, personifies what a sequel should be.

    It delivers tonnes of fun, a brilliant environment with many hours of gamepla, multiple run throughs due to the two different characters choices. If the story delivered the same impact as the rest of the game then this title would no doubt become a timeless classic.

    My playthrough of Dishonored 2 has not been without a few bugs here and there. I personally haven’t experienced many of the issues reported, but I have noticed considerable framerate inconsistencies when trying to get around a level quickly or when using the spyglass to zoom. I feel as though I should mention these issues, but they didn’t detract from my experience of the game. I’m still in love with the level design and I still think the ability system favors the use of one or two abilities.

    As much as I've delved into the specifics of each individual system, what makes Dishonored 2 so exceptional is how it's all connected. The writing sheds light on the world, which sheds light on the systems, which sheds light on the environments and characters. For everything that works in isolation, the real trick is that Dishonored 2 feels unified—a powerful piece of world building where everything happens for a reason.

    I really enjoy stealth games or single player games because when I play multiplayer I tend to rage quit. So if you're like me I greatly recommend this game. Unlike its predecessor you can choose to play with no abilities however I find it more fun to play with them unless you're looking for a challenge. The graphics and artwork is also wonderful and the story is pretty dark. The soundtrack compliments the atmosphere of the artwork. You don't necessarily have to kill you're main targets which is usually my choice because as the saying goes "there are some things much worse than death".

    Wasn't as good as the 1st one but it still plays great! Especially when you can choose between two characters to play as at the start of the game!
