'Dishonored 2' is set fifteen years after the events of the first game. Emily Kaldwin has reigned as Empress under the vigilant eye of her father Corvo, since reinstated as Lord Protector following his betrayal at the hands of first the Spymaster's conspiracy and then the loyalist's own conspiracy.

A solid game that definitely has an audience. Might lack replay value, could be too short or there are some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Like its new protagonist, Emily Kaldwin, Dishonored 2 has a lot to live up to. She, of course, is the youthful Empress of the Isles and the daughter of its most feared and notorious assassin – Corvo Attano.

Nevertheless, it's worth noting that the fantastic battle I mentioned at the start of this review occurred during that underwhelming final mission, which goes to show that even at its weakest, Dishonored 2 is a huge amount of fun.

Update: Dishonored 2 has been nominated for IGN's 2016 Game of the Year . No two playthroughs are the same in Dishonored 2 . Developer Arkane has doubled down on the original's play-your-way formula with two separate sets of skills, a deep and multifaceted world, and a dizzying array of level...

Arrive faster than estimated, immediately on the release day. 5/5 - The mask is sadly not wearable, the material is nothing fancy but the detail is superb. 3.5/5 - The ring is something to treasure it is well built but sadly doesn't find my finger. 4/5 - It came with a small poster, double sided.

Dishonored was a genuine surprise when it launched four years ago; an innovative first-person experience that confounded expectations. That Dishonored 2 manages to once again surprise and amaze as much as the first game did is testament to what Arkane has crafted here.
