Combining tools at their disposal, players are allowed options to eliminate enemies, whether they choose to pursue them unseen or ruthlessly attack head on. Dishonored 2 features the same campaign style as its predecessor in which the protagonist must advance through a series of missions. Read less

Superb! Was not at all disappointed. The game is realistic, lets you play as either the legendary Corvo or Emilia, his daughter. A beautiful mesh of real and imaginary world. Good graphics, no bugs or glitches encountered and challenging yet fun open world. I exclusively loved cracking Jindosh's riddle - very tough and no cheats to guess it.

Began playing Dishonored 2 today. I enjoyed the first game a fair bit but never ended up finishing. Only about two hours in but enjoying it thus far.

Have you ever reached a section of a game that made you pause, consider and go, "Yep, that's the five star rating."

Just had that feeling. Who designed this bit? I've never seen anything like it.

$600 of PC upgrades later, and I'm finally playing this game... This will be an interesting review. Stay tuned.

I really struggled with my decision on a rating for this game. I decided to wait until I was done my second play through before posting a rating. And somewhere mid way through that play through I was pretty close to giving this game a rating of four out of five stars. Why? The mechanics were still really fun. I enjoyed playing my low chaos run and I was still enjoying my high chaos run. The story and acting leaves a lot to be desired (as they did in Dishonored) but the mechanics are smooth and almost wonderful. Arkane can't seem to tell a story but they sure can build a fun game to play.

But then I hit Stilton's house for the second time and I suddenly didn't care anymore. Not that the level isn't enjoyable. The time mechanic is a great change from the rest of the game. But I suddenly felt done. I was no longer gleaning any joy from the game. So I grabbed the the mansion key off a guard, headed out back to steal the code for the final room and skipped everything else. Moving on to the Duke's palace I did something similar. I claimed to the very top, skipped the entire level, made a deal with the body double and then hiked it to the safe before leaving the area. And once more with Dunwall. I simply beelined to Delilah, grabbing only the necessities for the ending.

It was in Stilton's manor, and the rest of the second play through, that I realized that not even the mechanics and gameplay was enough to keep me wanting more. I enjoyed my first run and a half and then accepted that Dishonored 2 is a three star game.

I don't know if it's the actors or the writing, and maybe I'm alone in feeling this, but the delivery of dialogue in this game is particualirly wooden and unfeeling.

Finished my low chaos run yesterday. Playing a high chaos run now. I don't know what to rate this game. There are a number of disappointing elements, but since I'm still paying I guess I'm enjoying it.

For a game that has a lot of fluid movement, drop assassinations really feel broken.

I tried to figure out which the best visual settings for my PC are, so to be able to play Dishonored 2 under normal circumstances, but no matter the combinations I've tried, I could only play it with my settings on Low. Of course there's no point playing Dishonored in such poor settings, so I decided to quit. It's a …

I tried to figure out which the best visual settings for my PC are, so to be able to play Dishonored 2 under normal circumstances, but no matter the combinations I've tried, I could only play it with my settings on Low. Of course there's no point playing Dishonored in such poor settings, so I decided to quit. It's a shame, I know, but it's just as well I have sooo many games that are waiting for me to play. I've started Shantae: Half-Genie Hero today and it's really a fun game to play!

I am having less fun with Dishonored 2 than I expected. Maybe my memory of Dishonored is fuzzy, but I recall enjoying it quite a bit. But I'm struggling to get into the sequel. I like aspects of it, but it feels off slightly. I'm not putting it into words well, but it feel excessively tedious.
