Weak story notwithstanding, Arkane Studios has again delivered a truly excellent stealth action...
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.
Dishonored 2 is an excellent stealth game bogged down by a terrible port. Consider this score provisional until Arkane fixes its myriad issues.
It's a fantastic sequel that does a great job of building on the strengths of the first game and providing a few new wrinkles that make the game feel as fresh as the first one did a few years ago.
In becoming even more itself, Dishonored 2 occasionally stumbles under the weight of the almost too-intelligent denizens of its "Whalepunk" setting. But despite a murderous new sense of difficulty and a few surprising, if minor, shortcomings, Dishonored 2 is a much more fleshed-out realization of the world of Dunwall and the star-crossed Kaldwin family. For such a miserable, conflicted place, Dunwall and the Isles are a place worth exploring, something gaming could use a lot more of.
Dishonored 2A rich, detailed world, tense stealth and frenetic action. Dishonored 2 has it...
I went into the game expecting a universe of glorious ugliness, deliciously underhand abilities, maps that are lousy with infiltration vectors, and a multitude of ways to survive any scenario. I found all of that and more, but I wasn't expecting to care quite so much about the people I met along the way.
A Glance Back When the original Dishonored was launched in 2012, players found themselves dropped into the role of Lord Protector Corvo Attano, framed for the assassination of Jessamine Kaldwin and the abduction of her daughter Emily. Emily being the...

When I think back on the greatest games I enjoyed when I was younger, games like Ultima Underworld and Thief II: The Metal Age, they all have one thing in common. They honored player intelligence and gave us endless possibilities for our creative...
Dishonored 2 is a fantastic game that truly allows you to play the game your way. You get to chose your protagonist, your style of play, and your pathway through the missions. This is flexible game play at it's best. The worst part of Dishonored 2 is...
Dishonored 2 understands level design. That's the takeaway here. Not much has been changed, especially if you're playing Corvo. It's just a bigger, bolder version of Dishonored, one mastercrafted stealth gauntlet after another paired with some...
It has been an exceptionally noisy year for first-person video games. “Overwatch,” “DOOM,” “Titanfall 2,” “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,” “Far Cry: Primal,” “Battlefield 1” – if you like to blast things in the face, 2016 has over delivered.But those...
Dishonored 2 is a depressing slog of bodies and misery. It is confusing and jumbled, full of half formed ideas, and ready to break at the slightest touch. But, in spite of itself, it works.Dishonored established a strong if unrefined take on first...
Dishonored 2 is a hugely demanding game on PC, so much so that even a GTX 1080 cannot achieve a steady 60+ FPS at 1080p max settings. Bethesda has promised a performance enhancing patch, but right now the company has issues no clear release date and has...
There was something about Dishonored that prevented me from loving it like literally everyone else when it was released back in 2012. I eventually warmed up to it with the DLC and the spectacular characterization of Daud, but Corvo's tale left me with a...
Better than the first game in every way, Dishonored 2 is a creative stealth/action adventure packed with replay...
