Dishonored 2

2016ShooterRole-playing (RPG)Adventure

Dishonored 2 is a first-person action video game and the sequel to Dishonored. It borrows many of the gameplay elements from the first opus: players define their own play style by blending action, assassination, stealth, mobility and combat. Combining tools at their disposal, players are allowed options to eliminate enemies, whether they choose to pursue them unseen or ruthlessly attack head on. Dishonored 2 features the same campaign style as its predecessor in which the protagonist must advance through a series of missions.

Three titles that echo something distinctive in this one, with a quick note on the connection.

Divinity: Original Sin II

Divinity: Original Sin II shares a focus on player choice and consequence, allowing for varied tactical approaches in gameplay; while Dishonored 2 emphasizes stealth and action, both games reward strategic thinking and player agency.

The Outer Worlds

The Outer Worlds offers a similar blend of narrative choice and character development in a sci-fi setting, leveraging both humor and moral implications; unlike Dishonored 2's steampunk aesthetic, it navigates corporate dystopia with a lighter tone.

Wasteland 3

Wasteland 3 features a similar emphasis on decision-making that shapes the game's world and outcomes; however, it employs a tactical turn-based strategy system, contrasting Dishonored 2's fluid action mechanics.
