NOTE – please update the game if you don’t want FPS drops and minor bugs to ruin your experience.
Alright, let’s get to the review now.
Story – Bethesda has done a fine job with the writing. The missions feel complete, and you’ll be spending quite sometime figuring out alternate ways of completing missions. You feel the injustice done to Emily (my advice would be to play as her first time you play the game) and as you progress through the game, your actions will feel justified. To conclude, completion of objectives feels rewarding and the story is compelling.
Gameplay – now here’s my personal advice – stick to stealth, even though it’s difficult. Keep the lethality low and you’ll see how rewarding it is at the end of the game. The more you stick to stealth, the interesting it becomes to find ways of completing objectives. Your clever use of powers and weaponry results in lesser deaths and finer performance/choices for the character.
Graphics – I won’t say that this is the most aesthetic game out there but the artwork is really commendable. The way menus work, notes look like… Everything from pop-ups to interactions make the best use of the controller and you won’t pay much attention to the visuals of the game once you find yourself immersed in the gameplay itself.
Level design – I had to make this a separate point because Bethesda truly has done a fine job designing each and every level. From the waters to the balconies of palaces, mansions and even the tiny lanes with disgusting thugs and rats, every part of the world around you invites you to explore more. As you sneak past the overseers, you find yourself hiding in places which can be used as traps or maybe you can get an eagle’s view from up top. It’s up to you.
All in all, Dishonored 2 may feel like a short game (9 missions) but if you give your best at stealth, collecting important information and items to upgrade your powers, you’ll find yourself immersed in your vicinity spending hours and hours on tiny tasks.
Worth the price you’re getting this game for.

Good game. The level design is a king here – all the levels are very different from each other and there are a lot of ways of achieving your goals. Writing is also nice. Replayability factor is strong with this one: two characters and lethal\non-lethal approach + above-mentioned levels with tons of ways of approaching them. The graphics are not so hot though and the game had a critical error twice on me. Also scripts don’t work sometimes so you have to make a lot of saves to be able to restart the section.

Great game. Great graphics. The game allows you to play as Emily and Corvo. I haven’t completed the game but I have enjoyed every minute till now. Go for it if you like stealth games where you need to be patient and sneak up on enemies to finish them off. It definitely looks a lot better than the prequel. There are a lot of sword fights if you decide on engaging in them. I finished it a week ago with Corvo. You get 5 different abilities with Corvo. I liked the dark vision, blink and bending time. Emily has cool abilities too and I’ll be playing the story with her soon. Emily has a different set of abilities with Domino and Shadow Walk. Finishing the game without killing anyone is the way the game is meant to be played.

I got a UK copy rated PEGI 18. Please keep the zone of purchase in mind while buying any game on Amazon as it may affect your ability to purchase said game’s DLC in your region. For a UK edition you’d need a UK PS account to buy its DLC. Having said that, this is not the case with Dishonored 2 as its DLC is somewhat of a small game itself and it is a standalone so you can buy it on the PSN regardless of where you bought the base game.
Coming to the gameplay aspect – This is a really good game. The graphics are really good as it came out in the year 2016, the year of good graphics. The lighting, the shadows, the textures they’re all damn near realistic.Traversal is also very vertical. You’re allowed and encouraged to climb tall buildings and observe guard patrol routes. The game changes somewhat with the chaos level although the feature hasn’t been fleshed out in this game as it was in the previous Dishonored. There are framerate drops in the city of Karnaca and even the ps4 pro can’t maintain solid 30fps but it doesn’t drop too much and is playable.
The story, however, is not that good. Your enemy is Delilah, Emily’s aunt. This storyline has sort of been done already in the Daud DLC of Dishonored 1 and it ends very similarly to how the DLC ended back then, so I was not impressed by this. Delilah herself has little personality to show as she is a one dimensional evil villain character, out for revenge and more. You should try to play this game as Emily. I know you’re given a choice between Corvo and Emily. I played as Corvo the first time and the story didn’t make as much sense. The second time however was with Emily and the story made more sense. This plot was crafted with Emily in mind as it is about her revenge.
Regardless of all the flaws, it’s a very fun game to play and you should buy it for the gameplay alone.

Game is cool, delivery was fast. Taking one star away as the game was of Netherlands region and I had a tough time creating Netherlands based psn account and downloading the included dlc pack. Although there are no differences in playing experience and this version allows me to play this game at a lower price that I had to give for EU version, my only crib is that seller should have mentioned upfront about the region. Game is simply fun and is a great sequel by all mean. Story line is dragged and is repetitive but game play can be as creative as one can imagine
