Dishonored 2

Dishonored 2 has a nearly identical problem to Deus Ex - Mankind Divided. Both look much better than the predecessor, both play better, both have more varied level design but both also feature a noticeably inferior story, while coming out during a way too crowded release window. Dishonored 2 fares even worse with its narrative, as the 1st game's DLC went over similar territory. Calling both of these a well done standalone add-on is fairly fitting and the ability to either play as Emily or the returning Corvo (appropriately voiced be the former Thief VA) doesn't change all that much. I even played thought the game as both, while going for opposite play styles and even forwent getting the supernatural powers for Emily. My reward were many trophies but the song mostly remained the same. I would even say that playing aggressively is more fun than trying to be a ghost but the first game had the same issue. The game is also again too cartoonishly violent for its own good. Stealth fans will obviously need to get it but the longer Definitive Edition of the 1st game feels like a more complete package and a sequel will need to break new ground in terms of setting and themes. Not that I expect one due to the middling sales. The same goes for a new Deus Ex game… (The stealth genre is apparently going through rough times.) 8/10

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.

Dishonored 2 is a huge improvement in almost every aspect over its counter part. Gameplay and stealth seem to be improved with a more dedicated focus on narrative and story. The game lets you play as fan loved Corvo (who is now voiced) or his daughter Emily. Both characters have their own unique powers leaving a lot of room for replay-ability. The game travels across many different and unique looking locations not letting the player get fatigued by the same scenery like in the first.

This game is mesmerising up till the very last second and much better than it's predecessor. The level design and the super powers are highly enticing and insanely addictive to make you want to explore just every corner of the breathtakingly crafted world. Missions are lengthy and very well structured bringing the wonderfully written story to life.

Arkane easily became one of my favourite devs after this title.

An absolutely phenomenal game and for me the best in the series.

If you love this game, make sure to check Dishonored: Death of the outsider next which is a great addition to this one.

Easily my favourite videogame off all time i have hundreds if hours in, and replayed the game start to finish countless times yet it still feels fresh. The combat (sword play in particular) is incredible and the best out there and never gets old.

A must play for any sane person
