In the lineage of games in the immersive sim / 0451 genre, Dishonored 2 is well worth your time, although it does fall short of a calssic.

This Dishonored 2 review/retrospective/analysis/critique will break down the game and look at the sum of its parts.

Dishonored 2 is on sale on the regular, and makes a purchase you can't go wrong with when that's the case.

Dishonored 2 launched in late 2016 to a positive, yet more muted response than the first. A botched PC launch didn't help the reputation of Arkane Studios, along with the immersive sim not (usually) being a huge seller.

Having recently picked it up on sale, I was very happy with my purchase. In many ways, Dishonored 2 is better than 1, and yet still had some mistakes and flaws that carried over from the first.

Unfortunately, Dishonored 2 did not sell well and while the series did get another release, it seems to be on hold for the future. Why did Dishonored 2 fail? In this Dishonored 2 Analysis/review/critique/retrospective, we'll take a look at why.

While a great addition to the line of immersive sim / 0451 style games, it does fall short of an all-time classic that other immersive sim games like Thief or Deus Ex fall under.
