Dishonored 2 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4

Dishonored 2 on the PS4 Pro, with a 4K display is absolute visual gratification! A shoutout to The Infamous series of PS4 games where you choose how you want to play the game and where the story will take you, along with open world and character selection it's an Inventive cross between Assissins Creed and Infamous game series accept you get to choose your character which hasn't been done accept for the latest AC installment Syndicate you can swap back and forth between a brother sister duo in the streets of London during the rise of the Industrial period. But Dishonored 2 is flat out gorgeous with an enthralling storyline involving an imaginative world and an exhiled Empress and her trusted Royal Protector (you get to play as either character) and play as you see fit... to regain your thrown and let your subjects know you're alive and fighting for their prosperity. I love games with a gripping storyline to which you set the stage with your actions. I've made comparisons to other Award Winning PS4 titles of the past but Dishonored 2 truly is a must play if you liked either of the afore mentioned series or any Action/RpG/Shooter for that matter. This game was developed with masterful imagery, story, and imagination, executed with precision. I love shooters and action/rpg games and my favorite characters to you are usually an agile warlock/mage gunslinger and that's exactly what you get. So if you love a gripping storyline, in game "free-will", magic, mystery, and the choice to execute your ever-changing quests with stealthlike precision from the shadows, putting the fear of god into your oppressors with your mags-like powers and precision weaponry letting all know who's boss and your coming for your throne! Strike Fear into your enemy from the open for all to see and fear or become a ghost and strike only when the moment is right.... I make the moment right it's more fun that way! But you can play the game both ways half in the shadows and half in the open, have your people fear you or aid you... either way you're coming for your throne in the most imaginative, enthralling gameplay in its genre just check the PSN store it's one of the very few games that critics and gamers alike have bestowed the honor of not just award winning, but a must play and fully uses PS4 Pro's enhanced gaming capabilities both embracing the full power of the Upgraded CPU and GPU processors in the Pro. So get off the beaten path littered with shooters and action games that have little to no storyline or character interaction to pull you in and get you excited to play the storyline in games anymore. Next-Gen gaming got off the path of creating immersive storylines for a while but the release of the upgraded systems is pushing developers to take their time and build a game to the consoles full capabilities and the true roots of gaming, Arcane studios got the ball rolling and finally major developers are taking their time and following in their footsteps to create beautiful immersive gameplay that you want to explore every nook and cranny of the ever changing storyline that you the player are in control of... that is what Next Gen gaming is about... using these powerful consoles to create storylines that make you come back for more not because you want to level up or grind for loot but because you actually want to see where you can go and what you can do next.. the decision is yours and if you can't tell by this massive review...Dishonored 2 blows the lid off its predecessor which was and still is (especially the remastered version included for digital download via PSN code in the Dishonored 2 Limited Edition version)... Hands down of the best games in its class and top tier for us PS4 Pro owners who get to experience this gem in all its immersive open-world, blaze your own path back to YOUR throne... use all your Arkansas powers, unique weapons and gadgets with Dishonored 2's brutally fun and extremely imaginative gameplay/combat system. 10/10 for sure! You don't win multiple BEST OF E3 awards for lackluster gameplay... simply awe inspiring!

I really enjoyed the original Dishonored and this game follows in the footsteps of its predecessor while improving in many areas. While it keeps the same style as Dishonored, it graphically looks far superior (which it should). Controls, magic, stealth, and action are all solid. And having two different characters to play through the game with definitely adds a high amount of replay value. There are also large selection of challenging trophies to keep you occupied as well. If you like first person action adventure games, definitely give this one a go, you won't be disappointed!

A worthy follow up sequel to the original Dishonored. If you didn't like the previous game, this won't change your mind. Stealth is still the focus here though technically you don't have to play it that way. Nevertheless, the game gives you lots of power to lethally take out your enemies(high chaos), but the game rewards you more when you take them out non-lethally (low chaos). New is the ability to choose between Emily or Corvo as your playable characters. They have different set of powers, which make them play differently. Story doesn't change much aside from so dialogue. Nevertheless, the story feels more suited for Emily given her personal stakes, while Corvo feels more like a character that should have been unlockable after finishing the game with her. That said, the story isn't the greatest. It has a great start with Emily's Aunt Delilah usurping the throne and launching a coup d 'etat, which forces you to choose between Emily or Corvo to play as (the character not selected is turned into stone). Afterwards, the story just never really goes anywhere other than giving you reasons to assassinate(or non-lethally remove) some people. You can read more about the game's lore through text and newspapers within the game, but it's not really a organic way of telling the story. The game has a decent length of around 15 hours or so though with me taking a stealthy non-lethal approach.

First off, if you buy the Limited Edition you get the Definitive Edition of the first game for free which makes Dishonored 2 an absolute steal even at full price. The Definitive edition of Dishonored 1 includes all the DLC for that game in one excellent package. As for Dishonored 2, if you didn't like the first game you might not like this one either since it plays and feels a lot like the first game but with marked improvements in most areas. The story begins in largely the same way, your main character ends up being 'dishonored' in some way and so begins your quest to clear your name and set things right. Like in the first game, you can play the game stealthily or not, you can kill everyone in sight or spare every soul you come across. It is entirely up to you. The main targets can all be taken out non lethally and having two main characters with unique powers to each (you can also play without powers if you choose) adds to this game's replayability. This is a well crafted game that values player choice and I highly recommend it!

This game is truly amazing and I really love the story. This game allows you to play it how you want to and approach things differently whether that be using stealth to not get caught or to kill everyone. Coupled with the powers you can gain and the game becomes really interesting in what you can do. Its a first person view and your allowed to select between Emily or Corvo. Corvo has the same abilities from the 1st game while Emily, a new character whom you can play as, has completely different skills. Highly recommend this game for those that love stealth games.
