    The detailed missions, versatile powers, and atmospheric storytelling will keep you coming back for multiple playthroughs if only to learn more about the world, play with the powers, and find every last thing to either steal or kill/subdue. Simply put, Dishonored 2 is a must play for stealth fans and an easy recommendation for most gamers.

    Dishonored 2 is just the latest example in a long line of games that continue to illustrate the close relationship between quality stealth games and emergent gameplay. Any given playthrough will present you with myriad chances to both create and react to opportunities, many of which appear with little to no warning. It's in surviving these situations (preferably undetected) where Dishonored 2 delivers its most tangible rushes and most profound sense of gratification. It's a tale of vengeance that's presented in an imaginatively conceived world, one that is as threatening as it is inviting.

    Dishonored 2 is an improvement over the original game in every sense of the word. Its real value lies in the fact that it offers unique and rewarding game experiences for any type of player, whether you like to murder everyone on sight or prefer a more… ghostly approach.

    Dishonored 2 is an amazing game. Played entirely in first-person, the freedom it bestows players closely resembles that of the Elder Scrolls games. Although the game is broken up into distinct levels rather than an open world, each chapter is huge and filled with atmosphere, detail, and myriad nooks and crannies to explore. The Empire really feels like a believable steampunk world, one with countless stories to tell.

    Dishonored 2 is a great game for those who never played the first game and for returning gamers who enjoyed Dishonored. Its challenging gameplay, collectibles and the ability to experience the game’s story from two different points of view are more than enough to keep you interested.

    Dishonored 2 tries to take on so much that it can't actually keep up with itself, even on PC. If Arkane can get a handle on the optimization and delivers a DLC campaign that's on par with the original's take on Daud, it'll be one of the easiest recommendations I've made all year.

Between having your choice of protaonists (the familiar or something completely new) to the new, incredibly clever and inventive missions, and the much expanded freedom of how you choose to play, this game far succeeds and builds upon the original.

I attempted to play through this game completely stealth and suffered heavily because of it. Game was fun, there was alot to explore, I found myself interested in the puzzles that lead to shortcuts and secret areas more than I'd like to admit. Did not feel like there were a ton of changes between the first and second installments to the series but I still enjoyed the game. Overall a great sequel to a game I absolutely loved. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un gran juego, con una historia interesante, bien desarrollada y un gameplay agradable y bastante divertido. Poder escoger entre dos modos de juego, sigilo o ataque frontal, le da dinamismo al juego. Recomendable y divertido. Expand

    It's a stealth game. There's no mention in the games description that it's a stealth game. I hate stealth games.
