The first Dishonored game, which came out in 2012, was very well-received by fans and by critics alike. You were a bodyguard and assassin with supernatural powers set amidst a very unique setting in Dunwall. In Dishonored 2 Limited Edition, you are able to become a supernatural killer once again. However, this time, you get to choose between two different characters, both of whom were in the first game.
When the first Dishonored released, it was for PC, as well as PS3 and Xbox 360 (although they did eventually release a version for the current consoles). This meant that the game was limited in a technical sense, even on PC. With the latest game, that doesn’t seem to be the case. It is available for the current gen consoles – PS4 and Xbox One – as well as PC. It’s going to look great no matter the platform you choose, and it should play nice and smoothly as well.
Dishonored 2 Limited Edition is built on the Void Engine, which offers powerful rendering technology to help make this game look truly stunning no matter your platform. The visual style and art direction for the game are stellar, and there have also been improvements to the lighting and the artificial intelligence in the game. This should help to provide you with a better overall gaming experience.
The Gameplay
You can choose to play as Corvo Attano, the hero from the first game, or Emily Kaldwin. The game will play out slightly differently based on the hero you choose. Each of these characters has their own gadgets, weapons, and abilities as well.
There are plenty of different skills and tools available to you in the game, and you can choose just how you want to tackle each situation. Some might prefer a stealthy gameplay style, where they try to remain hidden and strike from the shadows as much as possible. Others might prefer to take a bolder approach and might want to use force. Both of these methods are possible. You just need to find what will suit you and your gameplay style the best.
When it comes to the supernatural powers available in the game, you have a number of options, including some that the developers haven’t revealed yet. You can become a shadow, link a single fate to several enemies, attack the minds of the enemy, and more. With so many different options and combinations available, there is near limitless potential when it comes to how you can use your powers. You can also choose from nonlethal options. Be creative and think outside of the box.
In Dishonored 2 Limited Edition, you really can play how you want to. It is possible to customize the game to make certain things more difficult, or easier if needed. You can change a wide variety of parameters to have the exact type of gameplay experience you want to have. For example, you can change the movement, combat, and stealth parameters. In fact, you can even turn off the supernatural abilities of the characters, which will make the game far more challenging. It will still be possible to beat the game, but it will be much more difficult. Many gamers thrive on this type of challenge.
The World
Without a doubt, one of the reasons that the first game was such as success was because of the world-building from the developers. There were no other games that had a city quite like Dunwall, which had a very Steampunk vibe to it. In the new game, you will be revisiting the gritty streets of Dunwall, and you will head to exotic locations such as Karnaca and the Dust District.
Replay Value
Since you are able to play the game as either of these characters, it can provide many with more incentive to play through it at least twice. Of course, since you can tackle the various opposition and objectives in so many different ways, you might want to play it even more times simply to try out new things.
Preordering will provide you with a number of bonuses as well including a free digital copy of Dishonored: Definitive Edition, as well as the Lore Book: A Musician’s Farewell, the Antique Serkonan Guitar, and 500 coins to use in the game. These will provide you with a small advantage, but you never have to worry that it will make the game too easy to play.
Highly Anticipated
Once you start to look at all of the features that Dishonored 2 Limited Edition is bringing to the table, you can see just why it is one of the most anticipated games of fall 2016. It holds a lot of promise and fans have been waiting patiently for about four years now. Fortunately, the wait is just about over.
