  Dishonored 2 - is this a game for you?

  Right now, the game is undergoing a spell of patching after a very poor PC release. The game worked for some, but not for many, and so your mileage will vary depending on your PC (not necessarily how powerful it is either - but how balanced, how much VRAM you have and such). As most reviews already centre around performance issues, I won't spend too much time on those because I'd rather review the game itself but please bear them in mind (they are mentioned in the 'not so good' section below)....

  For people who didn't play the first Dishonored...

  While you can certainly play and enjoy the 'toys' of this superb game, the story will really make zero sense. In the first game, the graphics and gameplay haven't aged at all and so I recommend you visit that title first, otherwise it will feel like starting to read a good book half way in. The first game is often on sale, and it's an absolute gem, still carrying an 'overwhelmingly positive' review. This game does genuinely feel like Part 2 of the series, and you'd be doing yourself a disservice by skipping the first game (its story-based DLC is also a must-have, so buy the 'definitive' version which includes the DLC).

  For those who DID play the original...

  This second instalment manages to recreate that special Dishonored atmosphere of the first game. I was worried that, not being set in Dunwall, the game would be altogether more sunny and cheery, but Karnaca is every bit as poor and derelict as Dunwall, with more opulence of the 'haves' rather than 'have nots' intertwined. From the start, the game feels familiar in both setting and story; it truly IS 'more of the same' but in a great way: more of the same AND much more besides... The game feels shorter, but when I look at the hours played, it actually isn't. Nine missions only, but these missions are made in typically bigger maps than we saw in the original game which of course means more replayability because there are again many ways in which to infiltrate an area. There are more runes and charms to collect than in the first game, giving the game more side-mission style playability without detracting from the main story, and all the 'fun' toys are back so you can again mercilessly rig a Wall Of Light against your foes. More importantly, as well as two chaos levels, you now have two different characters from which to choose, with different but wide-reaching skills and power sets that will give you a different game experience. Finally, the skills upgrading has been given a huge overhaul. You still collect the beloved runes and bone charms, but this time you can opt to craft your own bone charms which can be made up of up to four individual charms, thereby allowing you to tailor your character with many more perks than was previously possible. 10 bone charm slots can therefore give you a maximum 40 upgrades from the many bone charms you will uncover in this game. The plot itself is similar to the first game and the parallels are obvious, but the game does feel like an all-new title rather than a rehash, which is great. There are plenty of nods back to the original story. Replayability of this title is even greater because the playable characters of Emily and Corvo offer very different play-styles and approaches. Arkane have provided a better balance of NPCs of different race and gender (one of the few poor things about the original title) which is great to see - it's clear that the developers listened. And as if the game wasn't fun enough already, there is also a really clever level where you will manipulate time (travelling to through a map by choosing to switch between past and present as suits your route). That is SO well done - a genius addition to the game. In summary, everything about this game brings about all the good of the first (which was pretty much all of it) and expands on it in numerous ways without destroying that special 'feel' created in the first game. If it wasn't for the performance problems, this game would be an absolute guaranteed 'Game Of The Year' because it is truly excellent. I really hope Arkane have good story-based DLC planned as they did for the original game, because I want MORE of this superb experience, and I hope they can solve the issues because everyone should be able to enjoy it.

  Anything not so good?

  Mostly, performance issues on PC. These range from variable or very poor framerates, to crashes and total black-screen non-starts (the negative reviews all focus on these problems rather than actual gameplay). Please do check the discussion forums to see who experiences what (so you can compare your PC with others) and do make the most of your two-hour refund window to progress through Mission 1 to the outside (where the performance tends to manifest once outdoors). The game FEELS short even though it really isn't. I suspect this is because there are only 9 missions. They are HUGE missions, but never-the-less that single digit makes the game feel much shorter than it really is. I found myself in mission 7 of 9 in no time at all, or so it felt, yet in reality I'd been playing 25 hours or so by that point. Being such a good game, I just wanted even more! Finally, a really minor point, but the Outsider has been reinvented with new voice actor and I don't really like what has been done. In the original game, it was impossible to determine the Outsider's stance (was he a force for good or evil). He was a dark, paranormal character who seemed moderately amused at your progression through Dunwall's affairs. In the new game, the Outsider feels much less enigmatic and also biased more against 'bad' rather than being a mysterious force. This is no show-stopper by any means, but I did prefer the original Outsider.

  Summary

  Dishonored 2 is an incredible game that is an absolute 'must-buy' if you enjoyed the original title - but only IF you can play it. Patches are being released which have already made improvements. Hopefully, the stuttering, crashes and frame-rate issues will be stamped out fully, leaving people with a truly excellent experience in the Dishonored universe that, despite current Steam ratings, is even better than the first game (and as players of the first game already know, that was a very high goal indeed).

  Dishonored is back! and with it comes a review. People have been complaining about performance issues. And I can understand where they are coming from. I recommend downloading the demo to check for any issues before purchace. Pros: AI drastically improved! Level design is wonderfull 2 different stories to do promotes stealthy actions. Loads of new powers. The duke of serkonos is a much better villan than lord regent. (In my opinion) Cons: Graphic quality is not great (Especially when looking at posters) Levels even on easy (Cough* Crack in the slab) Are hard to navigate for new players. Overall rating: 9/10 a must buy ext: To download the demo you look right and scroll until you see "Download free demo". It should be under friends that want this game.

  Nobody pays attention to the dates a review was posted. The negative reviews that are somehow still at the top of the summary page were posted over 3 years ago. Since then the PC version's been completely fixed. it runs like any other game and looks great. Dishonored 2 has some of the best level design you'll ever find in an immersive sim. Look for more recent reviews to make your decision instead of reviews made back when the game initially launched. From me it's an easy recommendation. This game is fantastic.

  Dishonored 2.

  If old Samuel could see me now... Introduction At its core, Dishonored 2 is little more than a mechanically and narratively contiguous continuation of the Dishonored formula. This isn't a bad thing - the first Dishonored was one of the best stealth-action games of all time - but innovation is too often overlooked in the games industry. DH2 does bring some nuance to the franchise, but new drawbacks are packaged in as well. Put plainly, Dishonored 2 is a game I adore just as much as the original, but there are aspects that certainly left me wishing for better. Plot The game begins 15 years following Empress Jessamine's assassination, and her daughter, Empress Emily Kaldwin, has ruled the isles since that time. Her father and Lord Protector, Corvo Attano, advises and keeps close watch over her at court. Quickly after Dishonored 2's opening however, the Duke of Serkonos, Luca Abele, comes to Emily's royal tower - bearing a gift. He brings Emily's supposed long lost aunt, Delilah Kaldwin, who then immediately stages a coup in a bid to take the throne. She is successful, and you must escape the city of Dunwall as either Emily or Corvo (more on that later). You then travel to Karnaca, the capital of Serkonos, where you begin a personal crusade to take back what's yours. Technical Revamp Shifting focus for a look at DH2's presentation, the game is gorgeous. There's a hint of the old, comic-book-like aesthetic that was present in the original game, but the graphical fidelity has been greatly improved in this sequel. The textures, lighting, animations, visual effects, and environments are all elegantly rendered. It's easily one of the most beautiful games of 2016. As for the audio; sound effects and voices are realistic, and the OST is as iconic, if not more so than the first game's. Although, when it comes to performance, Dishonored 2 clearly falters. DH2 was a technical mess on launch, and while it runs decently now; some bugs, stutters, and crashes still persist. Overall the presentation is good, but the performance is surely sub-par. Setting & Exploration As stated earlier, Dishonored 2 is set in Serkonos's city of Karnaca; known as The Jewel of the South. Gone are the dark grays and subdued browns of Dunwall, as Karnaca replaces them with bright, pastel blues and yellows. The metropolis has distinct cultural differences from Dunwall as well, whether it's the widespread use of wind-power over whale oil, or Karnaca's reliance on silver mining to employ its working class. In terms of level design, DH2's stages are much more expansive than anything seen in the first game too. There's lots to explore in every district of Karnaca, especially when verticality and hidden locations are taken into account. There's several routes toward all objectives as well; emphasizing Arkane's "play your way" motto. All considered, Dishonored 2's game world is exceedingly well-built. Depth in the Details One of the most effective ways DH2 differentiates itself from its predecessors is through what I'd call 'structural gimmicks.' To break up the standard pacing, a couple of the game's missions have special set-pieces which can completely turn gameplay convention on its head. An example of this is the 'Clockwork Mansion' on the fourth level. This inventor's home has levers in essentially every chamber that reconfigures a room's layout - such as turning a trophy room into a grand hall. These levers can be used to access new areas or evade enemies, and even reveal traversable spaces behind the walls. It's this degree of imaginative design depth that distinguishes Dishonored 2 from most other games in its genre. Stealth & Combat Moving over to the core gameplay loop, not much has changed from the first game. The stealth and combat are still just as exquisitely implemented as before, with only a couple of refinements. The deviations that come to mind are that drop-assassinations can now be used non-lethally as drop-knockouts, and assassination animations are a much more brutal (but cathartic) spectacle to watch than before. Dishonored 2's central mechanics are near flawless to be sure, but this sequel suffers by adding few new gameplay elements to the mix. Except - well - there is one big feature I've neglected to elaborate on as of yet. Emily or Corvo In Dishonored 2, you can play as either Emily Kaldwin, or Corvo Attano. When Delilah first takes the throne you get a moment to choose one or the other, after which the character you don't pick is turned into a cold, stone statue. Both Emily and Corvo have separate voice actors and personalities, but they share the same goal throughout the game's duration: to save the last of their family, and reclaim the throne for the true Kaldwin heiress. After receiving the mark of The Outsider, Emily and Corvo have different magical abilities too. Where Corvo has blink, Emily has far reach; or where Corvo can stop time, Emily can chain together the lives of her enemies, and kill or incapacitate several people at once. All in all, the decision to allow the player to progress the campaign as either Emily or Corvo was a stroke of brilliance in my estimation. Main Story Returning to the main story - it's another point of criticism for me. There are some magnificent aspects; such as the nostalgic callbacks to events in the first Dishonored or reappearances of some of the original game's best characters, but all considered most of the writing is retreading a beaten path. Just as in Dishonored 1, the game flows from mission to mission where the chief objective is simply to eliminate a key player obstructing your path to the throne. This is perfectly fine from a gameplay perspective, but it can lead to a bit of déjà vu from a narrative outlook. Dishonored 2's writing quality isn't poor, but it doesn't distance itself from the comfortable story-staging of its predecessor, making it feel slightly lazy. A Reactive World On the other side of the same coin, the narrative reactivity of Dishonored 2's world to your choices is truly admirable. Playing DH2 in high chaos; where you murder many people throughout the game, results in huge environmental storytelling changes compared to low chaos. Here's an example. If you flood the streets of Karnaca red with blood, subsequent levels show you've harmed the city's inhabitants before you even arrive. Citizens’ moods and perceptions will have soured as they become depressed or monstrous in the wake of their crumbling city - causing suicides and murders to spike throughout Karnaca. And corpses bring bloodflies, which further tarnishes The Jewel of the South in a vicious cycle. You can, of course, avoid all this... by showing a whole lot of care in your actions toward others. Conclusion When all is said and done, the Dishonored formula is a fantastic one that it's hard to not have fun with. Karnaca is riddled with environmental detail, the stealth mechanics are flawless, combat is devilishly enjoyable, and the game judges you intelligently on your choices. The Dishonored IP is incredibly strong... The tweaks provided are appreciable; I just wish DH2 had made a concerted effort to make it even stronger. But, god-dammit, I enjoyed Dishonored 2 way too much over it's 20+ hour campaign to critique it any longer. Get the game and play it - despite all my pissy complaints, you won't be disappointed.

  Personal Rating: 9/10 - Absolutely Outstanding
