Is Dishonoured 2 any Good?

Corvo and Emily

Dishonoured 2 is the sequel to dishonoured. Dishonoured 1 was a critically acclaimed action/ adventure, stealth game in which you play Corvo Attano, the royal protector. The reason that the general consensus was that Dishonoured was a good game was the amount of choice it gave the player. Odds are that if you have a tough time sneaking through a part of the game there is a better way to do it if you explore the world. Exploring the well fleshed out world that Dishonoured provided was a joy as well as the powers you received for doing so. Dishonoured 2 is not revolutionary in the way that the first one was, in fact it is more of the same. However this might not be all bad considering how good the first game was, if it isn't broken don't fix it. Dishonoured 2's biggest change was in your ability to chose which character you play. This choice is presented to the player incredibly early and is final, however this is a game that warrants more than one play through so pick whatever your gut tells you. If you played the first game you are going to be instantly familiar as not much has changed in the world of Dishonoured. Corvo has the exact same powers as the first game, however with upgrades, all his powers pale in comparison to his blink, blink is his mobility power. Emily is the opposite her far reach mobility power is incredibly weak however her other powers make up for it's lack of power.  Just like the first game there is the lethal and non lethal play style giving you different endings.

Dishonoured 2 has a terrible PC port. This is evident in the low frames the sluggish mouse. The port is so bad in fact that I can't recommend this game as of right now for PC. There are no such issues on console and I wholeheartedly recommend the game for console. There are several patches being rolled out on PC which may fix the issues although it may not considering it is running on the void engine which is a modified id tech 5 engine with several problems. Overall keep your eye on the game if you are interested but only have a PC.

Conclusion

Dishonoured 2 is more of a good thing. It has improved various systems though in small ways. Dishonoured 2 is not innovative at all, however it is at it's core a good video game. It is compelling to play both play styles and has a compelling story with different interesting tidbits depending on which character you play.
