Should You Buy Dishonored 2 in 2022? (Review)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- Dishonored 2 originally released in 2016. I played the first Dishonored last year and I've finally gotten around to playing the sequel which improves upon the experience of the first game (which was already great) in so many ways. I really enjoyed Dishonored 2 and it's DLC the Death of the Outsider. It's a really good option in 2022 because it's often on sale and a phenomenal game for fans of the stealth genre.

I played Dishonored 2 years ago, and I had a good time with it. It’s a good thing both Corvo and Emily have their own set of powers, yet, each feel different and similar at the same time.
Did you play dishonored, two years ago or dishonored a few years ago
Nowadays have game + that you can use both powers from both characters after one full play through from the beginning of the game to the end of the game
Still one of the best dishonored games I ever played
Even though back when it launch had bad issue performance wise
But still very fun if you ever played the dishonored 1
I love this game way more than those years ago
@@viperdoesthings7454 I know he cant spell.

I should've said that I played Dishonored 2 few years ago, probably 6 or 5 years ago😆 Sorry.
I played Dishonored 2 some weeks ago, experienced it for the first time, then did a Corvo The Black playthrough. Then I played the first one as well as all of its DLCs. Incredibly enjoyable and replayable. I would give so much for Arkane Studios to make a threequel.
Well it’s a good thing they’re working on the third one than😌
I recently got the Arkane Collection which had Dishonored 1 Definitive edition, Dishonored 2, Death of the outsider and Prey and I have to say I experienced it all and enjoyed every bit of it.
Have you managed to get a controller working for Prey? It doesn't recognise my xbox controller!
@@OneBiteoftheCherry I play on PS4
@@OneBiteoftheCherry That's odd. Mine recognizes my controller just fine. Both on my PC, and my Steam Deck when I have it hooked to my TV. I'm using Xbox One controller in both instances. All I can say is, make sure your controller is plugged in and on before starting the game. And, make sure the controller is enabled in the control settings. Plus, make sure the controller works in other games. Other than that, only other thing I could think of is to try a different controller. I never experienced this problem, so not sure what all I could tell you except those things above.
do you know where i can get dishonored 2 for free ? steam epic ???
One of the best series' of all time. So glad to see the sequels getting the love they deserve!
In death of the outsider you can use foresight to place a displace marker far away from your body to teleport to. I missed it first time round but it's a massive game changer as it allows you to teleport further than any other character and it seems you might have missed it as well.
You can combo this ability with a bonecharm that allows you to place two displace markers, this allows you to do a quick takedown on two enemies that are a large distance apart. You can also telefrag with displace which you cant do with any other character.
@Chimney You place a displace marker on an enemy and teleport to that position and the enemy dies because you teleport inside them. No other teleport in a dishonored game can do this.
@@xTheCrispyNinjax i always feel a little bit bad when i do it, but there's something really satisfying about making someone go splat
I love the art style and it really does have great replay value.There aren't many games I play that have any replay value whatsoever
If you like the art style look up the works of John Atkinson Grimshaw. His work was a big source of inspiration for the first games art style.
@@thundercricket4634 I'll have a look into that,thanks
If you like the art style there are two art books for Dishonored 1 and 2. The second one is particularly beautiful and it is easy to find in PDF. Just a few days ago for some reason I felt the urge to own it physically, so I bought it, but it is not cheap.
Mission 7 with time piece actually has 3 different map sets. You unlock the third one if you knock out the mansion’s owner in the past. It will replace the ruined mansion with one in good condition.
Ever since seeing the dishonored video I was hoping for a dishonored 2 video because I wasn't sure of which one to get, so thank you.
Nice timing. Finished replaying Dishonored 1 and the dlc for the dozenth time a few days ago and now I'm working on Dishonored 2 for a second playthrough.
Also, for the Mission of the Timepiece, depending on what you do with Stilton in the past, you can just massively alter the map of the present (along with the dust district), something I really appreciated.
This game (and Death of the Outsider) were part of my backlog for years. Did an ambiguous playthrough half way thru with Corvo when I got it but got sidetracked. Recently (last spring) got back into it and did a hi chaos with Emily. Was fantastic; I knew it was good but not how good. Starting Death of the Outsider next week. Good vid
I didn't really use any of the powers, so I might have just gone with the no powers route. But bonecharm crafting changes the experience in such a way that suits any playstyle and I love that so much.
I literally can't live without blink, idk how you did it but playing dishonored kinda ruined all other stealth games for me because of blink. it makes life SO much easier
@@backpain8688 Funny, it's exactly the opposite to me, I do not find any pleasure of playing with powers, it's so boring to me.
I played Dishonored 1 and 2 basically using only blink. Kind of did the same in Deathloop (dont remember the name of the blink-like ability). I feel the urge to replay all three games now actually using some of the tools the game give you 😅
Like Bioshock, it was a game where when i finished it, i started a new game right away. Love this game and this series. Death of the Outsider is my least favorite one (i played it as a standalone) In this one, playing high or low chaos as no real consequence in the end. My favorite mission is , too, A Crack in the Slab with the Timepiece. Fun fact: its the only mission where the end of this mission habe 3 outcomes, which one of them will be helpful later in the game.
Dishonored 2 did everything I expected it would and then some.
The clockwork and time jumping mansions where really awesome!
do you know where i can get dishonored 2 for free ? steam epic ???
@@maciejflisak5249 dont think you can get it for free.
Grey market sites have it really cheap, though
Honestly I believe this is one of the best series of games ever made with its very subjective gameplay choices and attractive visuals . The little details it makes it all that much more worth the while .
I replayed Dishonored 2 this year and after a quite not so positive first playthrough, this time I had a lot of fun with it. I chose Emily and stealth approach, it was quite tricky sometimes, especially in Jindosh Mansion where clockwork soldiers were just impossible to sneak by, but overally it was satisfying for me to finish most chapters like some ghost/shadow. At my first playthrough I thought D2 was a bit boring and not so memorable when it comes to level design but now I take my words back. Level design is top notch, more open locations are fun to explore (even when some bone charms are quite hard to find) and overally the tone of the game is really nice. Playing D2 stealthy sometimes makes the game too slow and too repetitive, especially when you want to rip some bodies apart with your sword but it's much rewarding at the end. That's why I loved this approach so much.
the clockwork soldiers frist you must destroy their heads and later....a silent kill(dont worry...killing machines don´t count in humans assasinated). their heads can be destroyed with the crossbow.
@@rodrigocantarino4751 Actually there is a much easier way which I found out about after I already did this mission. I don't exactly remember how it's done, but I think that after you first meet Jindosh or right before it, you have to climb on the roof (?) and there is a button that deactivates all clockwork soldiers. Something like that.
I remember a speedrunner on youtube, playing as Corvo on the Clockwork mansion, all you have to do is to time your blink right and you can literally go past the main door and kill him right away lol, literally skipped the entire mansion
This game has one of the best level designs I've ever seen I absolutely love this game. Highly recommended ❤️
Yeah it's insane. The level design goes so well together with the superpower gameplay, artdesign and the lore.
@@unscripted3209 yup. And it makes me a bit sad that it's not as loved as the 1st one. Gameplay wise I think it's superior than the 1st, I mean just look at the levels Jindosh's mansion and crack in the slab. Freaking masterpiece.
@@jessica49arrow Yes really impressive. Every level was so beautifully crafted and you could see how much effort they put into the city's architecture. Like the The Royal Conservatory and Grand Palace or any other level in the game lol.
HELL YES.
Any fan of an Assassin style genre of game should play any Dishonored game!
I reccomend a video on The Tenchu series, Master Assassin!
Easily one of my favourite games of all time. Did 3 playthroughs back to back on release, nonlethal Emily, lethal Corvo, and then a no powers run with Emily. What a fun game :D Not gonna get my hopes up, but I really want another game in the Dishonored franchise
I played the game just a month ago and it was an amazing experience. Thought it would be hard to get all the trophies due to the multiple runs you need to the game, but it was really really fun.
I bought on ps4 and theres a bundle called the arcane collection that includes dishonored 1 with all dlcs, dishonored 2, death of the outsider and prey for just 25€ i really recommend it.
I also enjoyed every min of the video remembering my playthrough. Have a nice day ^^
Additionally, i had recently learnt that the time travel mission has 3 timelines that can happen , as a result of your actions with the house's owner, Aramis Stilton, i completely was not aware of it so there was so much to do in terms of replayability.
The time travel mission is so freaking cool. Titanfall 2 came out in the same year too and both are great in different ways.
Can't believe we still haven't gotten a full fledged time travel game after everyone loved these 2 missoons
I wondered the same. Maybe the ability is too OP: once players master it for stealth kills, it might become boring for more than one level.
I didn't even know that this series existed & now i'm definitely gonna try it master
ANOTHER BANGER VIDEO TY FOR PAYING ATTENTION TO MY 2 fav games
Great review! Worth the wait!
6:40 was definitely my favorite part of this video also Master assassin have you ever thought of doing breath of the wild videos I would love to see your take on that type of freedom-based open world game
I picked it up for just $5 some time ago and I was surprised how great it is. I also immediatelly replayed it and had loads of fun.
Really enjoy your content
To me, it's the most feature-complete of the Dishonored games. It has NG+ and Mission Select chapters as well as having a pretty conclusive ending.
The two things that hold it back is how quite a few of the plot beats are similar to the first game and that console versions are stuck at 30fps.
i bought it this year on a sale, and I'd say HELL YES. Such a freaking good game. Finished first playthrough with Low chaos, omw to a new run with high chaos.
Right now I'm playing Prey, which is an absolute masterpiece too, and to be honest so far I still like more Dishonored 2 (that might change tho, just starting Prey)
The first Dishonored was amazing! I didn't put as many hours into Dishonored 2 but they're both great and definitely still worth buying.
Agree, D1 focused on mystery, story and experience. D2 focused on experience, gameplay and story.
It was hella fun but D1 left an undeniably greater impression.
@@NowioART you have to admit though, D2 combat and it’s flow is remarkable
@@JessiContingenC Agree, D2 is the peak gameplay they started building up from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
@@NowioART I concur. Although having played dishonored 1 a few times it definitely felt a lot more new and enticing for me. It got me to buy some of the comic books and extra lore goodies because the story of the isles, Dunwall and all it’s significance was super interesting to read into.
Dishonored 2 felt way more refined in terms of visuals (duh), combat, level design (some) and arguably worldbuilding. Both games are super special to me and once my new PC is built you bet I’m gonna boot up D2 and play it again
I actually got to play this game in 2022 (bought in 2021). I love it. I played the first game back when it came out. I've been reading the comics right now and plan to buy DOTO when I have the money.
Dishonored 2 is in my list of 5 favorite games of all time.
Really enjoyed the first one, so giving this a bash. Really enjoying so far…..still rubbish at stealth, but a great game! Great video buddy…liked and subscribed 😊
Yes, yes you should
Great Video! Also The Dishonored games are on Xbox and PC gamepass. Unfortunaly Dishonored 2 is locked at 30fps on consoles so im gonna play it on PC instead! Imma download rn!
Love dishonored so much replay possible...and if you are skilled you can due crazy stuff
Try a new game + runthru where you use Blink for transportation and Far Reach for grabbing folks. Really fun to use both
Hey dude great video (I was late) but I was wondering if you would consider reviewing metal gear solid five
Even though the dishonored games are objectively better, I also loved playing deathloop when the game was put on gamepass for xbox. But yeah, dishonered blows it out of the water, and as someone who's played and beaten dishonored 2 about 5 times, yeah, I consider it to be one of the best games I've ever played.
Everytime I see such a video I'm back on board again XD
Good choice for halloween though
I also played this game 3 times in a row, which never do and it became one of my favorite games of all time.
Your review was very insightful.
14:04 Stephen Russel did not voice Garret from the (bad) Thief 2014 reboot. That image you've shown in your video is from that game.
I came back to this game this week. Found a copy (Xbox One) for $4. I love this game just as much as the day it was released.
i enjoyed Dishonored 2 but i'm not a massive fan of the chaos system. i like that your choices have consequences, i just don't really like how the coolest parts of the game (all of the brutal lethal takedowns for both stealth and assault) come with the knowledge that you've fucked over the whole world irreparably after the game and you're irredeemably evil in its eyes. it'd be more fun if it the outcomes weren't so clearly separated into good endings and bad endings.
i adore the Death of the Outsider. it's only short, and the last mission is disappointing, but until then it's Dishonored at its best. your actions still have consequences (mainly between missions 2 and 3), but there's no chaos system, so you aren't encouraged to feel guilty about having fun. it delves into the mysteries of the Void and the Outsider, which are the coolest bits of the games' lore, and still leaves you wanting to learn more. to me, though, the best thing is that you don't matter. in Dishonored 1 and 2, you're fighting to save dying empires and you're the only one who can do it. you're the most important person in the known world, so it's harder to care about other people. you feel cut off from the people for whom you're theoretically fighting (not helped by the fact that you're actually fighting for daughter or dad, depending on game and character choice). in Death of the Outsider, you're an outcast. you have no home, you have few friends, and you're out to kill someone whose disappearance will only really be felt by other outcasts. you're not trying to save the world; you're trying to get revenge on it. and it's because you don't matter that you can feel the world through which you're moving.
p.s. imo the Death of the Outsider is best in the black & white mode. it fits the bleak tone while still looking beautiful, and it really makes the red pop when you kill someone
Both the dishonored games I bought when they came out and have been constantly on my desk top. Very very good games and have huge replay appeal with so many different ways to play the games.
I have played like 400h. Dishonored 2 with way over 120 endings but I keep playing it , its still making much much fun
Played em Both on Gamepass and bought D1 on Steam and will to the same for D2, will replay D2 as Corvo next time
I loved Dishonored and completed it twice. for whatever reason I never played more then an hour of Dishonored 2. After playing Deathloop I really wanna go back and complete Dishonored 2.
Absolutely get the complete series. One of the most replayed series in my library.
I recommend nonlethal assault no powers on hard. It’s super fun
I first got this game in the winter of 2019 and I unfortunately had to play it on the xbox one using a 480p TV, but it still looked amazing.
Never played dishonored how try it out now that it's master assassin approved lol I've been playing Aragami 2 a lot and would love to see your take on it
Would be cool if they would make a game with one of the past users of the Outsiders mark since they mentioned them in the first game how in the past there were crisis and because of that he would choose someone to bear the Outsiders mark idk something like that it'll be cool
Like... I don't think there is a better stealth game to be honest. I've played it two times the first being a Corvo lethal playthrough and then an Emily non lethal playthrough and there is just so much to do and the creativity is insane, there are a lot of routes you can take and a lot of ways to kill your enemies like the replayability is insane i could easily play this game about 5 times again and i wouldn't get bored. Right now I'm trying to get some achievements, maybe some day I'll get all of them XD
I played dishonored 1 the first time in 2018 and absolutely fall in love with it. When I played dishonored 2 one year later I was blown away. Everything just felt right about this game. The end level was a bit underwhelming of course, but apart from that is everything a 10/10.
Great video, just popping in to say Death of the Outsider is actually a standalone game, not a DLC to the Dishonored 2 (which led a lot of people to be disappointed, since the 1st game had 3 DLCs).
I finished dishonored 1 like 5-10 times but never played the second. Maybe I should try this one two.
I played Dishonored 2 at 2020, and Dishonored 1 around 2014. I gotta say, I don't really like stealth game, but Dishonored series is an exception, because the way it is being designed actually makes me enjoy playing with the stealth style.
Brilliant game series should bring out a third , I also think a movie or tv series based on a very similar fantasy setting/story would be great , but thts just my thoughts
It's not just the endings that change. EVER npc has several lines you can get out of them by clicking on them. And even they change. The books change. Everything changes. It you're looking for a lot of lore, the you should definitely buy it
Even after about a decade and hundreds if not over thousands of hours I've put into the franchise, I still find new things to this day in *both games*
It's honestly stunning how a relatively low-budget game from 2012 had so much detail in it. I just wish the Dishonored 2 engine wasn't so disappointing, especially when it comes to the tedious, stiff and annoying combat of the sequel compared to the first.
This is unrelated to dishonored and someone’s probably thought of this before but I just thought of an AC game in the western times with a vast open world and it could have a story kind of like black flag where you are an outlaw who works with the assassins and eventually become one
Answer:yes the game is pretty cool
I have played many games and replayed them quite a few times.. but the only game which has the highest replayability was SC:blacklist.... I played it more times than i can imagine of!!
i have a question, i played it when it released and it had really bad performance issues, are they fixed?
Hi, i love your yt ❤
I bought the collector's edition way back when because Dishonered 1 was such a slapper. Due to the horrible performance issues I never even finished the game. Was massively disappointed by when the game I just got didn't even work, after months without any fixes I plainly forgot about this game.
Way to screw up a release. But I think it's time to try again.
Yes! Buy it, I bought it a few days ago for 4€ on playstore and it’s very fun to play
Nice, I'm the 200th comment. Also, great reviews as always.
I played this game multiple times and its probably my favorite game. Not only cos of the game itself but because its AMAZING art style, i saw the book of concept art from dishonored 2 and its just so inpiring
What i Also love is how the world changes depending on your actions… like the NPCs having more dark backstories around them if you go high chaos
(example:if you go through a flat before ademire instituce on low chaos nothing seems out of the ordinary its just a normal flat, on high chaos however there is a dead body of a woman with her i think its a diary, where you can read that she acidently killed her husband, and in the end got killed herself by blood flies that breeded on her husband corpse
Another example: two women in the level with ademire institue. In low chaos they are talking about normal stuff, on high chaos they argue and one pushes the other off the roof top, killing her)
Its these little details that make this game 1 000 times better and more entertaining
please make a video on prince of persia trilogy nostalgia
The Corvo pacifist run is not very fun to me because, and this was a major complaint I had about the first game, Corvo's powers are insanely geared towards all-out offense and murdering people, whilst Emily's are much more versatile. I mean...in a Low Chaos run, the rat swarm and wind abiltiies are absolutely useless and you shouldn't even bother with them. Even the time manipulation ability doesn't become highly useful until you upgrade it so it stops time. And even then, it's still much less useful than Emily's hyponotizing thingy, which lasts a lot longer, because the kill animation is much shorter and more convenient, since it makes bodies disappear into thin air and you don't have to worry about hiding them. Emily, on the other hand, can knock out up 4 people at once with just one sleep dart. That's effectioveness right there.
Dishonored 2 is the best stealth game I’ve ever played. Truly a masterpiece. Easily in my top 10 games of all time
I could’ve sworn u already made this vid
u think i should downlload it im thinking of it since i like blood still watching vid so ill see if u anwser this :) end Ima buy it and test it out :) thanks for the review
I really enjoyed Dishonoured 2. I prefer the stealth low chaos approach but as you say, there's so many ways to play the game. If you like Dishonoured, maybe give Prey (also by Arcane) a go. Similar mechanics, criminally underrated and I'd argue a better game than D2.
Great Assassins Creed vids btw
I’d love to see a dishonored 3 but with new characters. I feel like the story of the current characters is complete and we know there are more people with the outsiders mark so I would like to see stories about them.
Got it on steam deck 2 weeks ago still a great game
I had so much fun when I did a ghost playthrough
played it on xbox at 30fps since for some reason it doesn’t have a frameboost like the first one pr the dlc I still had a good time
Buying it now for my deck for 6.50
I was going for a pacifist run on my first playthrough, but somehow a couple of soldiers glitched out and lemminged into the water. After that I decided I wasn’t so engaged with the story as I was in the first game, so now I’m just playing it as a ragdoll fest.
*FYI, like others have said, its free through Twitch Prime right now for a month*
i am a massive dishonored fanboy and have played both dishonored 1 and 2 at least 30 times. glad to see its still relevant
The best part is, even after all those years we can still find small hidden details in both games.
Dishonored 2 is way superior to dishonored 1 in almost every single way, especially level design and non lethal gameplay. A true master piece
Dishonored 2 is free on Prime Gaming from 27 Dec 2022 to Jan 3 2023
I can't believe how good the game looks, and yeah enjoyed and still enjoying the heck out of it.
Easily my favorite single player game ever. I think I've done around 8 playthroughs over the years.
YES I bought it a week ago and grinded the shit out of it. it's such a good game
Good video
Me who hasn't played a dishonored game. Yes I want to try that next
waiting for my name in the last part of ur video 🤣
can someone tell me do you need 100syc on every mission to get 100 overall syc in AC Brotherhood
One of the best developers out there, and imo, one of the most underrated games (both 1 and 2) even with the amount of attention each got
Also, this game proves that you can have amazing first person combat. They NAILED it and I mean NAILED it. I don't have a single clue why other devs haven't taken notes, but it's honestly amazing. It's so responsive, and feels so quick and lethal... It makes the main character feel like a proper assassin.
God I love Arkane so much LOL
Play the ultimate way. Don't get detected and don't kill anyone without Magic
I really like they way you always miss something and replay it all over again to do it
D1 focused on mystery, story and experience.
D2 focused on experience, gameplay and story.
It was hella fun but D1 left an undeniably greater impression.
Singularity is that time travel have you're asking for
Oh yeah, i forgot about that one. Awesome game!
Glad this game is getting some love most people still think this game is shit because of the performance issues at launch
