Dishonored 2 is awesome if you love stealth and games that give you tons of freedom to play how you want. Sneaking as Emily or Corvo, using their unique powers to take out guards or ghost through completely unnoticed, feels amazing. The world is creepy and cool to explore, the story has some twists, and I love the option to play non-lethally. Can get a little difficult at times, but honestly? One of the best stealth games out there.
one of the best stealth games. i love the old pc game esque quicksave and quickloading you see in games like portal 1, it really lets you min max in a very fun way. the most fun ive had is doing a no powers ghost and pacifist playthrough recently. It rlly shows how well the game is made considering you can reasonably beat it with that many restrictions.
Dishonored 2 is the continuation of the original Dishonored, taking place several years after the events of the original and introducing two playable characters to choose from, Corvo and Emily. I chose to play as Emily, so this review will cover her powers and abilities.
The game mechanics and tone still carry over from the original and are much improved, introducing new powers for Emily, such as Domino, cloning, and shadow walking. These abilities are super fun to use and feel really good when chained together for a combo takedown on enemies. It's extremely satisfying to clear a level with a series of ability combos and whatnot. I also liked the option to find collectibles to power up your abilities. The game also keeps the same art style as the original, which was really good-looking.
I'm not very good at stealth games, and even on lower difficulties, this game was fairly challenging, requiring lots of retries and planning to get past certain areas. Also, the universe has a lot of supernatural elements, like people having powers and other things, but near the end of the story, there was a lot more supernatural stuff happening plot-wise that still seemed like too much magic or something, and most plot points were covered with some magical item being the key. Then again, I'm not too familiar with all the background lore of the game universe.
Overall, Dishonored 2 is a great sequel that improves a lot over the original game. It looks pretty, plays well, and is extremely satisfying to play. Definitely worth a playthrough or a few to get all of the endings and whatnot.

Artistically this game is phenomenal and it's art style is one of my favorites. Most things are better executed here compared to the first game but the levels just don't feel as replayable which is a shame seeing as overall the game has more replayability. The standout mansion levels are some of the coolest and best designed levels in any game though.
Dishonored 2 was a fun experience. I chose to beat the game on my first playthrough as Emily so it was a nice change of pace from Dishonored 1's Corvo as the protagonist. I liked the new powers implemented in the game which helped me do creative kills. My favorite power from this game would have to be the Shadow Walk because I just like how we literally transform into a crawling shadow on the ground and make stealthy kills or get to use it to get around certain areas where there's many enemies. Dishonored has always been my favorite game after playing 1 and now that I've played 2 it just reinforces it even more. I liked the plot and how the game plays for dishonored. Currently on New game+ for my second playthrough as Corvo and IM glad to see that all of Emily's ablities are also available to Corvo. Can't wait to play around with it for a bit. I'll play the DLC soon and will absolutely write my thoughts on that once I finish it
The first Dishonored was a little masterpiece in terms of storytelling, the way our gameplay impacted the very story itself, making us decide whether it's a justice story or a revenge one, in addition to a very good immersive sim gameplay itself. All that made the game quite innovative and interesting for its time.
Dishonored 2 took everything from the first one without really adding anything new. It is the exact same game but with a less pertinent and interesting story. It is still decent and the level design is very good, but I didn't think this game was necessary.
