Dishonored 2 Gamer Review

"Dishonored 2" received a lot of praise for its gameplay and overall experience. "Dishonored 2" brings a remarkable experience to the gamers with its set of skills and 10 themed chapters that brings an organic world. However, its needs some originality to its story, which is about a usurper who wants to take over the throne, IGN reported.

Besides the originality issue, there are a lot of concrete reasons why "Dishonored 2" is the winner of the Game of the Year Award 2016. The game has impressive movement systems and exciting violence. It has a more organic feel to it as it respects real history and traditional art.

Perhaps one of the reasons why this Game of the Year Award 2016 winner is favored by most is because of its incredible sense of place. Its game maker, Arkane, has managed to successfully make the environment of the game convincing, detailed and beautiful.

"Dishonored 2" is better written that the first one, with buildings filled with text that somehow expands the gamers knowledge of the characters in the game and the world they are in. Also, the game is very reactive with every action having its equal consequence on the entire game.
