Arkane Studios has released a flop this year with Redfall that has not left a positive impression. However, Arkane was previously known for its immersive stealth games, which you can currently get on Steam. This includes the grand Dishonored 2.
What kind of game is Dishonored 2?
- It is the sequel to Dishonored and takes place in a steampunk world
- Corvo returns as a playable character, but this time you can also play as Emily
- Both characters differ in playstyle
- You can experiment with your abilities and equipment, whether you kill, sneak, or just fight your way through brutally, it’s up to you
Dishonored 2 has elements of an immersive sim. This means you have a large repertoire of actions that you can use freely as you wish. However, how you approach the game has consequences for the story and how the world reacts to you.
Those looking for stealth action from a different perspective will find it here:

I have rarely experienced such a perfect successor to a title. Consistently, all relevant game mechanics have been improved, and errors have been eliminated. The level design is simply a revelation.

Very entertaining, multiple ways to play the game: different styles, different combinations of weapons and powers. Various ways to traverse the levels and achieve the objectives.
- oh:
Truly a masterpiece.
Dishonored 2 seems to execute everything it does excellently. The stealth component, level design, and visual presentation of the game and game world are praised.
How much does Dishonored 2 currently cost? On Steam, you can get the game for €2.99 until November 21. This corresponds to a discount of 90%. For €17.44, you get Dishonored 2 along with 5 other games from the studio in the Arkane 20th Anniversary Bundle.
