Dishonored 2
In short: Dishonored 2 is an action game released in 2016 by Arkane Studios, available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Our score: 9.0/10 (highly recommended). Lowest price we found right now: $5.24.
Reclaim your throne with supernatural powers.
Dishonored 2 transports players to the sun-drenched coastal city of Karnaca, offering a choice between Empress Emily Kaldwin and her father Corvo Attano, each with completely distinct supernatural abilities. Emily's powers include Domino (linking enemy fates), Far Reach (a tentacle-like teleport), and Shadow Walk (transforming into a shadow creature), offering creative new approaches to every encounter. The level design is legendary — the Clockwork Mansion features rooms that mechanically transform around you, while A Crack in the Sliver of Time lets you shift between past and present versions of the same building. Non-lethal options exist for every target, and full ghost runs are possible for skilled players. The chaos system dynamically adjusts the world based on your violence level, creating meaningfully different narratives. Each mission is essentially a puzzle box with dozens of valid solutions.
