Dishonored 2 Reviews
Dishonored 2 successfully builds upon an already enjoyable game. The game reached the standard of what a good sequel should try and be. With a story that's satisfying and a world that is open and enchanting, my only major objection is that the ending falls short of being entirely satisfying.
Dishonored 2 is an amazing sequel that fans of the original game should absolutely play, and cements this as a (hopefully) permanent franchise for Bethesda and Arkane Studios. Being able to play a number of different ways, changing the world and story on a whim, and having the ultimate freedom at your fingertips, it’ll keep fans of the series coming back for more for quite some time.
Dishonored 2 gives fans even more of the innovative gameplay that made us fall in love with the original.
Arkane Studios' sequel constantly and delightfully engages our minds with its characters, lore, sense of discovery, and satisfying mechanics
Dishonored 2 is a good game marred by too many issues, and adds up to far less than the sum of its parts.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Dishonored 2, it is the kind of game that when you finish it you can easily play again as the other character and have a totally different style of game. You could probably blitz through levels quickly, but you rarely will be, Arkane does so well to draw you into all the little subtleties of Dunwall, you end up caring about the choices you make, which leads to a really enjoyable game.
Dishonored 2 is not here to make a revolution but has succeeded in the essential: improving a formula that has already proven its worth four years ago. With its artistic direction that delivers a sublime city, its two assassins as well as a level-design mastered to perfection that pushes exploration and leaves players a real freedom of action, Dishonored has become in just two opuses a reference of the genre.

Dishonored 2 takes everything that was great about Dishonored and builds on that. It is an absolute worthy successor to the original. Newcomers to the series and fans of the original are going to get their money’s worth.
Although Dishonored 2 didn’t feel quite as open-world and non-linear as we were hoping for, it still provided plenty of reasons to play through the game more than once, if not several times.
It may feel like just more Dishonored, but Arkane have improved everything they could’ve and made a truly satisfying sequel. We just hope it’s not the last.
I was counting on such a continuation. The game encourages you to re-play to draw handfuls every time and realize a new vision of the gameplay. Here it's really hard to get bored.

The first Dishonored title offered levels with multiple paths, but the recent iteration takes that concept and runs with it.
Dishonored 2 stayed true to the franchise's roots, but this time around players can choose from two different protagonists, which offers up a ton of replayability and value for those who purchase it.
Dishonored 2 is one of the games I’d recommend to anyone who loves stealth games, but don’t expect much in case you loved the first one, as this feels more of the same, instead of a completely new game.

Dishonored 2 doesn’t live up to the original, but it still provides great gameplay mechanics and a sense of freedom you can’t find anywhere else.
A rich, detailed world, tense stealth and frenetic action. Dishonored 2 has it all.
By throwing you into its gloriously open missions with a bag full of tricks, running wild in Dishonored 2's fascinating world of stealth playgrounds never fails to be both fun and challenging. While anyone who doesn't have the patience for its particular brand of methodical exploration will likely find the experience tedious, if you can commit to trying to ghost your way through its lengthy campaign, even disappointing shortcomings – especially in terms of its story – likely won't stop you from having a whale of a time.
“Dishonored 2” is one of those games that seems ripe for YouTube or Twitch. It offers an excellent platform for high-level players to strut their stuff. Alas, because it is a decent but inessential sequel, I will not be revisiting the game to perfect my technique.
Dishonored 2 is a great game that builds a believable world and lets the player use it as a playground. For those wanting a straight-ahead action game, this is not it, and even more so than the first, stealth is highly recommended. Still it is impossible to argue just how well the team has executed their vision. Crafting one of the most unique and engrossing experiences once again. Don’t miss out on Dishonored 2, it is easily in contention for one of the best of 2016.
