Dishonored 2 Reviews
The first Dishonored title offered levels with multiple paths, but the recent iteration takes that concept and runs with it.
Dishonored 2 is like meeting an old friend – you know who he is and what to expect from him. Basically, Dishonored 2 is the same as the first Dishonored, only bigger. It's bit of a shame that it wasn't a bit more ambitious, but whoever loved the first game will be equally excited about the sequel.

An enjoyable and highly recommendable experience, even more so to those who fully enjoyed the first game. Arkane Studios has improved everything that needed improvement since Dishonored came out, and they give us an excellent game to enjoy on consoles and PC. Stealth is far from games like Deus Ex, however it is still entertaining although somewhat frustrating. Level design is magnificent, specially in two maps: a mansion that transforms its rooms with mechanisms and gizmos, and another mansion we can visit in two different time sets simultaneously. Dishonored 2 makes me want to replay Dishonored in its Definitive Edition release.

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.
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.
Dishonored 2 was a pain in the ass to get running initially, but once I did, I was able to settle in for a really fun and rewarding adventure. 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.
Dishonored 2 is like a pretty painting stuck in an ugly frame — painfully close to being complete. New abilities and upgrades, the addition of a second playable character, and creative level designs illustrate Dishonored in its peak condition, but the game is hampered by technical issues on console as well as a predictable plot. These criticisms are easily forgivable though, because Dishonored 2 is so engaging in its moment-to-moment gameplay. Very few games can boast so lofty a degree of player agency as Dishonored 2, and when you consider this, the ugly frame doesn’t seem as important after all.
Dishonored's 'whalepunk' world remains stunning
Dishonored 2 is bigger and better than its forbearer, with greater variety of level design and even more flexible gameplay. It is a shame the central narrative isn’t more engaging and that the sequel is haunted by technical deficiencies.
Dishonored 2 is a complex game with a simplistic first-person action wrapper. It offers up a variety of different gameplay options to run through the game with, while presenting a bigger world for you to stretch those options out in. It’s a great follow-up to the first game and certainly improves on its ideals.
A great sequel that improves and expands the already excellent predecessor but which, in part, also mantains its limits and flaws.

Better than the first game in every way, Dishonored 2 is a creative stealth/action adventure packed with replay value.
Dishonored 2's story beats are perhaps a little too familair, but it makes up for its narrative trappings with open-ended gameplay that rewards exploration and creativity. To call Dishonored 2 a stealth game is a bit of a disservice, because you can play it any way you like.
Dishonored 2 is a great game, and it offers a lot of value. It's definitely worth considering if you’re into stealth games, and looking for something with a lot of replay value.
Dishonored 2 is a fantastic journey that takes you across different cities in the empire to take down Delilah’s allies and reclaim your throne. It’s much more challenging than the first game but also much more flexible. Playing as Emily and Corvo gives you multiple powers to experiment with and ways to traverse the maps and you can play it over and over again to find new secrets and without getting bored. However, while playing as Corvo, the game and the story will feel very similar to the first game and it’s much less exciting than playing as Emily.

Dishonored 2 is one big bombshell of atmosphere. The game offers something for everyone, with the general rule that a solid gameplay experience is maintained. An interesting setting, combined with a compelling story, ensures that you won't get bored for a moment. The game offers the best of the first Dishonored, with enough tweaks to keep things fresh.

Arkane already had a great game in his hands, and unlike many other firms, they didn't spoil it, they made it even more great. If you enjoyed the first game, I'm sure you're already plunding Dishonored 2.

Dishonored 2 ist eine unglaublich gelungene Fortsetzung, die vor allem ihre Stärken im Gameplay und der umfangreichen Welt ausspielt. Leider geht durch den Einsatz von zwei spielbaren Charakteren die Story etwas unter und auch die Gegner KI lässt einen meistens von reinen Schleich-Einlagen, auf ein Massaker umschalten, aber ansonsten hat Arkane Studios hier alles richtig gemacht und liefert einen der wohl besten Stealth-Titeln der letzten Jahre.

Whilst it has taken me a little while, I am fully engrossed in Dishonored 2 and slowly becoming obsessed with keeping my chaos low and learning the clever tricks presented to me in order to beat the guards and targets I have been presented with.
