Dishonored 2 was released on the 10th of November 2016, and since its release it has received mixed reviews across the board. Dishonored 2 follows on from the first game in the franchise in terms of storyline, however with a crucial difference. The player gets to choose which story line they wish to follow based on a choice; presented by the game; between two characters each with their own respective storylines.
Reviews on Dishonored two have received a mixture of both critiques and praise. Dishonored 2 brings back many aspects of what fans loved about the first game in terms of gameplay and storyline; and with the new addition of choice in storyline and characters, there is a lot more replayability to the game. However, Dishonored 2 also retains many of the negative aspects from the first game. The game is still not as open-world as it should be, and character model art style still feels out of place in the presented world, rather than part of the world.
