July 2025
Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 207: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10/10) There are good stealth games, and then there are games like Dishonored 2 —games that feel like a spell you cast on yourself. You don’t just sneak. You slip through folds in reality. You don’t just fight. You reshape time and space. It’s a game that whispers, "What if you were smarter, cooler, and faster than everyone in the room?” And then it hands you the tools to make it true. Stylish. Lethal. Poetic. Replayable forever. 🗡️ Pros: [*] Two fully distinct protagonists, both deeply satisfying to play. You choose between returning protagonist Corvo Attano—grizzled, loyal, deeply weary—or Empress Emily Kaldwin, now grown into a force of sharp-edged grace. What makes this brilliant is that it’s not just a cosmetic choice: their powers, animations, voice lines, and even world reactions differ. Emily’s kit is elegant, illusion-based, and eerie, while Corvo’s feels heavier, more grounded in violent utility. They each feel like their own story. And yes, you’ll absolutely want to replay the game with the other. [*] Level design that rivals the very best in the genre—maybe ever. Each mission is an intricate puzzle box layered with verticality, secrets, alternate entrances, eavesdropping opportunities, and meaningful side quests. You can go in through a sewer grate, a rooftop skylight, a hidden alley, or possess a guard and walk straight in the front door. Every choice feels like a discovery. Levels like "Clockwork Mansion" and "A Crack in the Slab" are all-timers—jaw-dropping showcases of how architecture and mechanics can work together to create playable art. [*] Stealth that never feels like punishment—only opportunity. You’re not playing a fragile ghost; you’re a predator in silk gloves. Blink across balconies, Domino enemies so they all collapse with one action, transform into shadow, or slow time and walk behind a guard like a phantom. Master your environment. And if you slip up? The game doesn’t yell; it dares you to recover. [*] Combat that’s sharp, brutal, and deeply reactive. You don’t have to fight, but if you do, it’s visceral. The swordplay is weighty and responsive, parrying and countering feels tight, and combining powers with tools (stun mines, spring razors, grenades) creates dynamic chaos. One moment you’re stabbing through two enemies at once, the next you’re teleporting away mid-slash. Even if you aim for stealth, the combat design supports power-fantasy improvisation. [*] Some of the most creative and memorable powers in gaming. Emily’s Domino links enemies together—take down one, and the others follow. Her Shadow Walk is creepy and powerful, perfect for tight spaces. Mesmerize lets you conjure ghostly hallucinations to distract. Corvo brings back favorites like Bend Time, Possession, and Windblast, which are every bit as empowering as they sound. You can even do a "no powers" run, which turns the game into a straight stealth challenge. The fact that all of this is viable (and fun!) is a triumph. [*] A reactive world that remembers you. Kill too many people, and rats breed faster. Corpse piles grow. The guards become more aggressive. Go pacifist, and the city stabilizes. But it’s not just the big Chaos system. It’s the small touches. Notes thanking you for sparing a life. Rumors spreading about the “Merciful Shadow.” Every action you take, from how you treat civilians to who you choose to kill, ripples outward. [*] Art direction that’s painterly, brutal, and alive. This world bleeds style. Sunlight through red curtains. Salt-stained buildings crawling with vines. Rusting iron railings and oil lamps in sea-slick alleys. It doesn’t chase realism. Instead, it commits to a stylized aesthetic that feels timeless. Faces are long and severe, almost carved. Shadows are thick. It’s immersive in a way that lingers. [*] Brilliant worldbuilding with emotional weight and texture. Read a diary and learn how a maid fell in love with her employer. Pick up a note and uncover a mini-tragedy unfolding in the apartment next door. Dishonored 2 understands that lore isn’t dumped, but discovered. And the more you explore, the more intimate your understanding of the world becomes. Even when you’re not on a mission, you’re learning the language of the city. [*] Playstyle freedom that feels genuinely respected. You can ghost every level, knocking out no one and never being seen. Or go full high-chaos, leaving a trail of fire and blood. You can blend the two, improvise, or change your mind halfway through. [*] Replay value that’s off the charts. Want to try different powers? Different approaches? High vs. low chaos? Lethal vs. non-lethal? Emily vs. Corvo? No powers at all? You could play this game six times and still uncover new routes, alternate endings, and hidden lore. It’s a game that invites mastery without demanding it. 🧨 Cons: [*] Honestly? Most of the issues are technical and long-patched. The original PC launch had performance problems, especially in busy areas like Dust District. But on modern hardware, or console, it runs beautifully. Some AI issues, still. Other than that? If you don’t like slow, deliberate games that reward curiosity and experimentation, it might not be for you. But that’s not a flaw—that’s just taste.

I played the pirate version back in 2016, and after all these years, I’m back to one of the finest games ever made. Dishonored 2 is pure art. The atmosphere is rich, the world feels alive, and the design, from stunning visuals to haunting sound is masterful. Karnaca is unforgettable. The gameplay still shines: stealth or chaos, every path feels meaningful, every power creative. It hasn't aged and it’s still a masterpiece. Sadly, Arkane has lost that old magic. Games like this remind us what they were truly capable of...

Dishonored 2: The game where you can either stealthily sneak past your enemies like a shadowy ghost or stab them in the face while wearing the world's most fashionable stealth suit. As Emily or Corvo, you get supernatural powers that make you feel like the lovechild of a ninja and a wizard. Want to teleport behind someone and choke them out? No problem. Want to possess a rat and run through a tiny crack in the wall? Totally doable. It’s like the game says, "Hey, why not combine the art of stealth with the chaotic energy of an exasperated parent trying to keep their kids from destroying the living room?" 10/10, would possess a rat again.
