Arkane Studios2016PC, PS4, XboxStealth ActionRating: 86
Dishonored 2 is Arkane Studios sequel to the 2012 stealth action hit, set 15 years after the events of the first game. Players can choose to play as either Corvo Attano returning protagonist or Emily Kaldwin now Empress, each with unique supernatural abilities. The game is set in the sun-drenched southern city of Karnaca, a departure from the rainy Dunwall of the first game. The story involves a coup that dethrones Emily, and you must reclaim power through stealth, combat, or a mix of both. The game features the series signature chaos system - high chaos killing leads to darker outcomes, while low chaos non-lethal leads to more hopeful endings. The Clockwork Mansion level is widely regarded as one of the best designed levels in gaming history.
