Abstract: Dunwall is at peace, and as the ruler, Emily Kaldwin seems to be doing alright. At her side is Corvo Attano, who serves as her right-hand man. That all comes crumbling down when Delilah and her army attack Dunwall and dethrones the empress, claiming that...
Dee, customizable gamepla, Intricate level desig, Fascinating settin, Fun villain
Story hits the same beats as befor, Uninspired voice acting
The only serious criticism I can level against Dishonored 2 is that it's exactly what you would expect from a Dishonored sequel, and nothing more. It's bigger, cleverer, and allows players to forge their own paths even more than before. Toss in a new play...

Masterful level design, Two playable characters, A dense, fascinating world to explore
Predictable story, Flat, dry characters, Minor technical difficulties

Remarkable mix of inventive weapons and powers that can be utilized in a variety of ways, Several standout missions that offer truly memorable gameplay hooks, Larger world feels rich, detailed, and believable, Rich and rewarding well of side content

Abstract: 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 impulse...
Dishonored 2 is a worthy sequel to Dishonored and provides great gameplay centered around an immersive storyline. The new Void game engine (DirectX 11), which is based on id software's RAGE engine, is a decent upgrade over Unreal Engine 3. Even so, I sti...

Abstract: The Clockwork Mansion is one of the amazing environments of Dishonored 2 . It's a mansion with all sorts of mechanical gadgetry that enables the house to reassemble itself, and it's guarded by robotic Clockwork Soldiers. Getting through it is like navigat...

If you liked the first Dishonored then I have no doubt this will feel both familiar and also an even more expansive world with some nice new twists to make for an even more satisfying gaming experience. If you've never played the original then you can sti...
