The Dishonored saga has always been in my view one of the peaks of gaming, for it being very classic in its mission structure but with a gameplay nothing short of stellar and both a very unique lore and art style. Sincerely, they really should make a series out of it: I won't spoil anything about the story, but the steampunk setting and its interesting characters really leave you with the desire to know more about it. For the 3 people who still don't know, the Dishonored saga works on a chaos level: the "messier" you are in your mission, the worse the world will become, and despite defeating the bad guys the world will turn to crap anyways. For this reason it's of the utmost importance to try and be a shadow, lurking unseen and knocking out foes without killing (almost) anyone. In my case, I've started the first few mission in a clumsy and slightly too deadly way, but then I've improved and I could reduce the global chaos and get a positive ending. That might seem like small victory but believe me, once you get it it's really rewarding. This game has a charming soul and it's visible in the little details that make you lose yourself in, the little alleys during sunset, patrolling enemies singing to themselves sweet songs, little unexpected details... make yourself a favour and play this game!

An overall upgrade to the first one. Really fun game, you can play it however you want. The story is a good continuation. I hope Arkane focuses on singleplayer games rather than ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Redfall. The ending song is a banger.

"Dishonored 2" takes players back to the richly crafted world of Dunwall and introduces the new setting of Karnaca. You can choose to play as either Corvo Attano, the protagonist from the first game, or Emily Kaldwin, his daughter, each with their own unique abilities. The game is set in a beautifully designed world that feels alive and reactive to your choices.
Key Highlights
Dual Protagonists:
Players can choose between Corvo and Emily, each offering distinct powers and playstyles. This choice adds significant replayability as you can experience the game differently based on your character selection.
Engaging Gameplay Mechanics:
The game combines stealth and action seamlessly, allowing players to approach situations in various ways. Whether you prefer to sneak past enemies or engage them head-on, the game accommodates your style.
Stunning Visuals and World Design:
The art direction is exceptional, with a unique aesthetic that blends steampunk and fantasy elements. The environments are richly detailed, making exploration rewarding and visually captivating.
Complex Storytelling:
The narrative is deeper than its predecessor, exploring themes of power, betrayal, and redemption. The choices you make significantly impact the story and the world around you, leading to multiple endings.
Critiques:
Some players felt that while the game is visually stunning and mechanically sound, the story could be somewhat forgettable compared to the first installment. Additionally, certain levels may lack challenge, especially for seasoned players.
Conclusion
Overall, "Dishonored 2" is a masterful sequel that builds on the strengths of the original while introducing new elements that keep the experience fresh. It’s a must-play for fans of stealth-action games and those who appreciate rich storytelling and world-building.

Dear Nostalgists,
Please stop saying that this game is in any way worse than its predecessor or that there is no reason for it to exist.
Dishonored 2 improves upon the entirety of the gameplay in every way imaginable. The level design, the fact that there are two playable characters with their own complete sets of skills — the level design, have I mentioned the level design yet, etc.
Something the game also does extremely well is that it mainly builds off Dishonored’s DLCs, but still makes complete sense if you haven’t played The Knife of Dunwall or The Brigmore Witches.
The only critique I can understand is of Corvo’s dialogue.

For me, Dishonored is one of the best series ever made. I can only recommend playing it.
