Its new faces are all excellent – whether they’re on your side on out for your head – and they’re seamlessly interwoven with familiar characters such as the scientist and genius, Anton Sokolov. It’s not quite as well paced as its predecessor, but despite the thematic similarities, Dishonored 2 never feels overly familiar. For those, Emily is your best choice – she comes complete with an awesome taste for revenge and entirely new, powerful abilities that, while comparable to Corvo’s, feel unique.įrom there, the story follows many of the same beats as the original – that aforementioned royal betrayal, your fall from grace before a lengthy climb back up for revenge, and the twists and turns along the way.
This is a series renowned for its level of choice and its various branching narratives, but your most important choice is your first: who do you want to play as? You can be Corvo once again, if you please – this time he’s fully voiced, which gives him far more personality, but his path is not where Dishonored 2’s most original ideas lie. The ins and outs of her motivations I’ll leave for you to discover, but just like in 2012, Dishonored 2 wastes absolutely no time getting to the action. This time, the witch Delilah – who you’ll know if you spent time playing the original game’s two brilliant expansions – has come to Dunwall accompanied by the Duke of Serkonos, and she plans to rule Dunwall for herself.
It’s about 5 minutes before you witness yet another heinous betrayal. Emily Kaldwin, the Empress’s daughter, now rules the empire – she’s stronger and wiser and has Corvo, simultaneously her bodyguard and father, loyally at her side. The coup that saw the city’s Empress murdered and Corvo framed has also passed into history. Set 15 years after the underdog adventures of Corvo Attano, Dishonored 2 starts in the city of Dunwall long after it fell to ruin thanks to the infectious rat plague. But it’s a more consistent, more inventive game, adding mechanical hooks to provide depth and creativity in every mission. Across its numerous incredible levels, it never abandons the core traits which made the 2012 original so great: the satisfying stealth, the freeform verticality and the insane number of ways to play. We have experimented with the game across multiple settings, levels and scenarios and can confirm that PC performance is far improved.ĭishonored 2 is the best type of sequel. The game has now received major patches that address the issues. Editor’s Note – Dishonored 2 we experienced several PC performance issues at the time of review, ranging from frequent frame-rate drops to combat problems.
