Aditya Patil People just whined and complained about them so I can't really blame IGN. "Wahhh the game only had one con and you gave it X? But CoD had two cons and you gave it Y!" This stems from the fact most of IGN's viewers are too dumb to realize it makes sense for a game's score to start at zero and build up based on positives as opposed to starting at a perfect 10 and being docked for cons, but nonetheless I can't blame them for doing away with the pros/cons graphic at the end of reviews.
It doesn't make sense to do either. There are no standards for "how many points" a score should be buffed or docked by based on the various, SUBJECTIVE, pros and cons. As I've written to IGN, Gamespot, Electric PLayground journalists and RUclipsrs in the past: there is NO POINT in assigning scores or other attributes if they can't agree to standards within their own organizations, let alone the industry-as-a-whole. Even reviewers don't review any piece of work the same way, even between similar games. I've seen some of them giving (somewhat or very) different scores to games that were similar and that they liked nearly equally (that doesn't make sense). And pros & cons don't need to be overtly stated. Some reviewers may need to be clearer and pose their prose better, but the burden is on the viewer to deduce what the reviewer has said. The real problem, or part of it, in my opinion, is that the reviewers nearly always sound like they're reading their own written article -- or as was the case of other companies in the past, a reviewer would sound like they read someone ELSE'S (a junior staff member's) article. Looper staff don't "plagiarize" their colleagues' works, but, they'll make a video for every article, and it'll be the same, verbatim. IGN is going down the same road. A piece of work, especially in an artful industry like this one, should be tailored to the merits of the medium. Videos should never come across as wordy and written articles should never be rote work (or perfunctorily trite). Even what I've written here is better suited the way it is than me making a video of it -- even with editing, I'll stumble/mumble and get lost on tangents, and when I don't, the thesis will probably come across as a rant. (Moreso than it does now).
I get the feeling she didn't play through Dishonored 1 too much. She talks about some things in this game as if they're new additions when they were in the first game.
I believe Corvo was again playable in this game because his side of the story needed to come full circle . If you play as him you get a much more nostalgic experience if you have played the first Dishonored . Obviously the game is meant to be played with Emily as she offers much more versatility with her powers and arsenal . One thing worth noting that this game has is the exploration . You are encouraged to look for alternative ways of reaching a location and you can also find valuables like loot and blueprints that will get you better gear . Also the crafting is an amazing addition to this game . Finally you can get rid of all the useless bonecharms in your inventory and create a better more badass bonecharm for you character . This game is truly breathtaking and the developers should take pride in their work .
As much as people scream for 'honest' reviews they can't stand when reviewers have negative things to say about games they are excited for. (but haven't even played most of the time)
I wish they'd round the scores to three decimal places. I really felt it was more of 9.346, but to each their own. I can kinda understand why you feel it's a 9.4.
Love this game. Not only is the gameplay great, story quite good, and levels are unique and fun, but this game gives you so many options, that you can't help but go back and replay the game differently.
Great review Lucy. This game is amazing even though it frustrated me cause i'm not that good at hardcore stealth games like this (BUT) i really enjoyed my time with it. Plus I love the diversity between Emily and Corvo, they make for awesome different playstyles.
play it with no powers on very hard and then it is a hardcore stealth game, up there with EE difficulty from the MGS series. That's the beauty of Dishonored, you can play it as a shoot em up, casual stealth or hardcore. There's a lot of options how you wanna play.
Im currently playing high chaos Corvo on very hard and I'm focusing on combat. Being only to take 2 hits max really pushes you to improvise during combat and learning how to manage special ammunition such as howler bolts is extremely fun. However you just need to stand on chest high walls and jump to perform a drop assassination which does make combat a bit easy.
This is one of the best games I've played on PS4 so far. It's absolutely amazing. This is why I love games like Dark Souls and Dishonored, it's full of secrets, they aren't afraid to let the player miss out, they're linear yet not linear, they don't overly guide you.
hrtumyn yeah that's just their shitty excuse, assuming they actually said that. No where in the actual game was it indicated that he is weaker. Billy Lush has stated personally they never even called him let alone explained to him why he didn't get the part in 2
To the developers of this game The game was so good so that even after finished playing the game on a pirated copy , I had to buy the game to show the respect to the developers...not just any game can make a hardcore pirate to say these words ..Actually I never said this before ... Unbelievably good guys...
I got it on PC, and had to tweak the settings a bit, and can only have my graphics on high (high, very high, ULTRA) but it still looks amazing and only drops a bit under 60 in bigger areas. But another thing to mention is that it's a bit glitchy, but not too bad. Just gotta wait on that godly patch and everything should be fine then.
Hey, I have a question (ONLY TO THOSE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED IT) at around 2:14 in the video, when Megan Foster is taking you into Karnaca by skiff, did any one else experience that ridiculous framerate drop? Im on PC btw.
Open levels means that there are a lot of ways you can go through a level, whilst open world means that you have a giant map to go through, but only that
This game on ps4 after patch is amazing. I kept feeling like I needed to explore a level more and kept finding more and more stuff. I hate leaving a level because each one has lots to find.
Quantum Syn The game play is some of the best stealth I've ever played! It's completely different to skyrim tbh They are both excellent games in their own genre
Quantum Syn Skyrim and Dishonored are 2 different games. You can't compare every game to Skyrim because it got a high rating :P. I suggest you play the first Dishonored
The thing with IGN is that any game that doesn't have any glaring flaws when it comes to gameplay, gets a 9+ rating. IGN never take into account technical issues or sound quality in their reviews.
I've heard the first dishonored is garbage by multiple people...but obviously the fools who bought the game are gonna defend it. It's like consoles and phones..whatever type you got, you're gonna a hate on the rest.
+QuangTran27 Ignoring the PC port for a moment, this game is great. It's getting really good reviews and is actually getting a good amount of coverage. Not to mention they have a decent advertising campaign this time around. I fail to see how this game is "underrated"....
Tintin Onacid Because not many people remember Dishonored until this game came out. Yes it's true that since Arkane Studio is still new in the gaming market they haven't got much recognition yet. Hopefully after this game they will. No one had talked much about it after the first Dishonored game and that came out 5 years ago. It's also count as underrated because it's a good game but it doesn't have many people who played it. Hopefully Arkane Studio would get more people to play this game. So there's your "explanation".
The first one was awesome. I'm so happy they brought in Steven Russel (voice of Garret from the Thief games, love it!). The gameplay was like they blended up Their, Deus Ex, and BioShock. Can't wait to try Dishonored 2.
Finally got around to playing this (early 2018) after loving Dishonored 1 and i can honestly say i thoroughly enjoyed it. Played as Emily on the PC over 3 days. Good Times. Minimal problems.
do people only care about the score the game gets and not the actual review it self ??? is knowing what's good and what's bad about the game less important than the final score ??
this game is really superb. as far as storytelling and character writing goes id say death of the outsider is better, but overall gameplay experience in the dishonored series is at a high point in dishonored 2. i really hope dishonored 3 is in the works
Bought this game few days ago on a sale, got the steelbook edition (so worth it) and I’m now hooked. I played and liked the first one, now I’m planning on picking up Death of the Outsider.
Come on, no one cares about dishonored’s story. Amazing stealth gameplay, among the best ever made, but a blah story. The stories just there, but don’t worry about it. Happy end of summer weekend sale people.
Jesus Ruiz your brain doesn't die immediately after having your head cut off. People have been documented as having survived at least 30 seconds after decapitation.
there is a difference between 30 sec with vital signs and actually being alive and feeling pain... also, your 30sec claim is overly exagerated. Also, you cannot scream without lungs...
Dishonored 1 is one of my favourite games of all time, I've just finished dishonored 2 and I'm not at all disappointed BUT I think the first one had better story and I was really hoping they'd make the game a bit harder, in fact I felt this one was actually wasier.. Still, they added a lot of fun to the gameplay mechanics and just like dishonored 1, I'll be playing it again and again, exploring everything and killing everyone that crosses my path in the most creative ways I can think of.
Talking about all the good things and none of the bad. All the bugs and graphical issues aside. How about the fact that there are practically no new enemies? Witches, overseers, howlers, dogs and guards are all in the first game, with the clockwork being the only new one so far i can remember. Where is the overseer with the music box? No alternative to the Whalers? Why are the non-lethal choices so boring and bland? You can leave Mortimer in your room... That's it. Like he's been a bad boy or something? In the first you branded the high overseer with the heretic brand, or threw the twins in their own mine from hell. Here you just give a VIP to another VIP, and thats non-lethal done. Feels so bland. It's a great game - but the first was innovative, this one is the same but with less really. Quite a shame.
Level 1 in dishonour 2. Fully Stealth ninja play knock out every enemy on you pass with no kill, 2 hours at least Regardless your skill. Speed run toward the goal, AI is totally potato and will not chase you after 50 m, and you are faster than them 10min run and easily victory. When you want to combat with your enemy press and hold r1 and become a immortal. Then you can kill them with whatever way that brings your the best combat ninja experience. Not my cup of tea.
Amit Kalderon i bought the game and it runs so poorly on my PC that I just don't want to play it, I can run battlefield 1 on high with 50/60 fps and can't run this game on medium with antialiasing off at 30 fps
This game is really good. The level design is really the best. I played and finished Dishonored 1 and now I'm playing the second. I used to hate it when I played the first one because I would constantly die. I did not understand how to play the game and was just rushing into combat to kill everyone thinking powers made the character invincible. But this game is all about thinking strategically. Observe the level around you, check which powers and weapons you have and think of how you can use them to get to your goal, preferrably without alerting any enemies, and save a lot. I love it. You have to proceed crouching and slowly, and observe always what's going on around you. I'm playing on pc (win 10) and the game would always crash a few seconds after loading into a level. I set the game shortcut icon to run on compatibility mode for win 8 and I have been playing since yesterday without a crash.
Great game. Not only because of the slick, versatile gameplay, but because the world-building is so rich and detailed. There are tons of interesting little notes to read and the environments are rich with atmosphere. More immersive than most full-on RPGs.
So is this very similar to the original or is it significantly better? Curious because the first one bored me for some reason, I never finished it. Probably just wasn't my thing, even though I usually like that style of game (don't like the art style). Not saying it wasn't good, but is this one noticeably better or basically the same game with some new things?
Aron Drake It has better characters, but it falls short in terms of gameplay. It's pretty basic in those areas. I enjoyed the game, but not as much as I enjoyed Dishonored.
I have watched numerous reviews and posted on reddit and gamefaq and Istill do not have the answer to one simple question. Approximately how long does it take to complete a single playthough of the game? I would also like to know how it compare in length to the original.
Why do most people assume that Delilah is a new character and actually Emily's aunt? Has nobody played Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches? Damn, she's a witch, and if it wasn't for Daud, she would have assumed control on Emily's mind since the first game.
For some reason, I waited to play this one. Dishonored 2's sales were down 40% from the original. I'm not sure why, however; I can tell you why I waited to play this one. After watching the trailer, I was excited, but as time elapsed, I just felt like it was going to be more of the same. I'm playing it right now, and well...it's more of the same. It's a great game, there's no denying that, however; it has a been-there-done-that feel to it. I'll play it through and see what happens.
Revoladin play on pc, and you'll change your mind it looks phenomenal, it's just really demanding. I gotta crank it down to 720p to get a steady frame rate. still looks amazing.
my only complaint about this game, like actually the only complain, is that it holds the players hand by having voiceover during gameplay, and then the little animated cutscenes in between which explains how she feels and everything. The first one you were kind of on your own, with the protagonist being silent and much more Half-Life 2 vibe than D2. However, just like they did with Deus Ex Mankind Divided, the additions to the gameplay, the powers, the world (building) and the new Void engine looking fantastic, I'm super psyched on it and I'm going to finish it with both characters.

Dishonoured 3: Finally honoured
ruined it
Dishonoured 5: Re-Honoured
Dishonored 6 a little bit honored
Dishonored 7: Dish On A Red
Dishonored 8: The honouring.
Can't wait to take 4 hours just to beat 1 level
I beat the game in 6 hrs low chaos on my first try. If you go for no kills full stealth it will prob take 40.
Bluestrawberry I did not rush through it. I wanted to collect as many runes as possible.
The first Dishonored took me 32 hours to beat on low chaos,no kills,full stealth with just blink and dark vision (On my 1st playthrough)
GroovyQ1017 wow, cool story.
Honestly it if you go for full stealth, 0 kills and save scrubbing, and get all the collectibles, each level does take about 4 hours, it's really cool
I get the feeling she didn't play through Dishonored 1 too much. She talks about some things in this game as if they're new additions when they were in the first game.

Damn, was hoping for a 9.4. I wonder what made it so good that 9.2 was too low of a score for it, but 9.4 was too high?
Lucas M Simple. Too much whiskey and cigars for 9.4. Not enough whiskey and cigars for 9.2.

As a huge fan of the original Thief games, I absolutely adore Dishonored (both of them).
I wish every game had motion capture like L.A. Noire.
Damn I missed that game. It felt like a new gen at that time (even now). Hoping that Half-Life 3....nvm.
Jeg so true!! LA noire was in a league of its own!
Jeg LA Noire was full of uncanny valley.
Jeg Games like Call of Duty IW and Uncharted 4 look a hell of a lot better than LA Noire without motion capture

You mean Lucy? And no she doesn't hate every game she reviews, watch her review of the evil within
@@rogueguardian I'm guessing she just like darker themes if she liked Dishonoured and evil within.

This is what reviews used to be like! No hype, no low score due to things of personal preference, just a fair assessment of the game!
Do i need to play the first one and the dlc's to understand to story of this one?
Well it's the closest game we'll ever get to BioShock, I'm sold.
Bioshock isn't in the same ball park..two very different games but dishonored 1 & 2 takes the cake over any Bioshock game
L Good for you.
what about prey
The action wheel is similar and there is the tiniest influence of steampunk in Bioshock. That's about it.
But we already got Bioshock. So just get Bioshock.
the fact that the graphics and visuals were similar to the original despite being a new game engine, is worthy of praise.
I rarely replay games, open-world games in particular so choosing Corvo or Emily is kind of a big deal for me.
This isn't even close to an open world game
Lou Bloom M8 what game did you play? Dishonored 2's levels are massively open
+Deads0t18 Gaming yeah its open levels but not open world there's a huge difference
Open levels means that there are a lot of ways you can go through a level, whilst open world means that you have a giant map to go through, but only that
+Patrick Harrison that and in this you can't just freely go through every area and back once a mission is complete you can never go back to that area
If only my pc could even run Dishonored 1 :(
Broke Gamer bro, dont let 300$ stop you from playing games. get a console.

Lordgene Cataneo keep in mind different reviewer different opinion lol. besides a 9.1 is still good.
Angry Joe give it a 10/10 c:
different reviewers,different opinions.
rob morris what? angry joe pays for his game and he doesn't stream the entire game.
Whats the song that starts at 2:10?
Hey, everybody. Go check out ACG, for the best game reviews on RUclips. He deserves more subscribers.
Angry Toast Yea he's good also check out Mack at Worth a Buy.
Ville Törölä he gave witcher 3 a bad review. Couldn't take him seriously after that.
Oh god anybody but Mack (Not to be offensive or anything..)
+TheTjam84 I can't take him seriously because my opinion is challenged by his review.
Angry Toast don't plug channels
Is that Daud at 3:29?
do people only care about the score the game gets and not the actual review it self ??? is knowing what's good and what's bad about the game less important than the final score ??
M. shak Apparantley...
reviews are stupid I just watch the end to see what they give it. Reviews have been trash for years now
M. shak final score is what makes a game, do you even game? bro
The Dishonoured series has a solid average 9.25 IGN score. Proud of them.
this game is really superb. as far as storytelling and character writing goes id say death of the outsider is better, but overall gameplay experience in the dishonored series is at a high point in dishonored 2. i really hope dishonored 3 is in the works
Bought this game few days ago on a sale, got the steelbook edition (so worth it) and I’m now hooked. I played and liked the first one, now I’m planning on picking up Death of the Outsider.
Wow, I'm actually surprised by the high review, I'm actually considering picking it up
Hopefully they make a Dishonored 3 and have it set some time after Corvo's passing.
Come on, no one cares about dishonored’s story. Amazing stealth gameplay, among the best ever made, but a blah story. The stories just there, but don’t worry about it. Happy end of summer weekend sale people.
I was acrually surprised with how gorgeous this game looks.
Wait... whats wrong with the pc version?
PillowBillow I think it's because of FPS drops from how badly optimists it is
*Optimized
The only thing I hate about this game is the thin font of the in-game notes/diaries which makes them so hard to read
Wait, did he just scream after his head was off at 4:55?? o.O
Jesus Ruiz your brain doesn't die immediately after having your head cut off. People have been documented as having survived at least 30 seconds after decapitation.
there is a difference between 30 sec with vital signs and actually being alive and feeling pain... also, your 30sec claim is overly exagerated. Also, you cannot scream without lungs...
How does one scream without a mouth
geasslordzero LMAO! But you can't talk/scream bro! 😂
Jesus Ruiz how do you know? Did you cut someone's head off to test?
Anyone know the song that starts playing at 2:10?
No still need to know as well
I'm on my second play through...enjoying the levels even more, trying to find all the runes and other stuff...so glad I bought this game
Who is here after Bethesda joined Xbox? I'm waiting for this to be downloaded on my Series X. 💚
Wanna buy me me one lmao.
Dishonored 1 is one of my favourite games of all time, I've just finished dishonored 2 and I'm not at all disappointed BUT I think the first one had better story and I was really hoping they'd make the game a bit harder, in fact I felt this one was actually wasier.. Still, they added a lot of fun to the gameplay mechanics and just like dishonored 1, I'll be playing it again and again, exploring everything and killing everyone that crosses my path in the most creative ways I can think of.
Yh im playing 2 now, on 3rd mission, does seem easier, not so many enemies often, wish could set a difficulty option for more enemies/guards.
Talking about all the good things and none of the bad. All the bugs and graphical issues aside.
How about the fact that there are practically no new enemies? Witches, overseers, howlers, dogs and guards are all in the first game, with the clockwork being the only new one so far i can remember. Where is the overseer with the music box? No alternative to the Whalers?
Why are the non-lethal choices so boring and bland? You can leave Mortimer in your room... That's it. Like he's been a bad boy or something? In the first you branded the high overseer with the heretic brand, or threw the twins in their own mine from hell. Here you just give a VIP to another VIP, and thats non-lethal done. Feels so bland. It's a great game - but the first was innovative, this one is the same but with less really. Quite a shame.
Level 1 in dishonour 2.
Fully Stealth ninja play knock out every enemy on you pass with no kill, 2 hours at least Regardless your skill.
Speed run toward the goal, AI is totally potato and will not chase you after 50 m, and you are faster than them 10min run and easily victory.
When you want to combat with your enemy press and hold r1 and become a immortal. Then you can kill them with whatever way that brings your the best combat ninja experience.
Not my cup of tea.
Great mention of the horrifc PC port.
***** ok.
Baroque Chevalier Noir That's true. Good for you.
Amit Kalderon i bought the game and it runs so poorly on my PC that I just don't want to play it, I can run battlefield 1 on high with 50/60 fps and can't run this game on medium with antialiasing off at 30 fps
chillm8 Why should I?
My PC is stronger than any console that will come out in the next 8-10 years.
If my craptop can run Dishonored 2 on Ultra with every performance hindering setting on at 30-40 average framerate, you can manage 60 just fine.
Reviewer question: Did the Xbox One version not lock up at all? Only the PS4 version?
What a game once you get used to the skills and controller some amazing moves can be done and quick . Great game
This game is really good. The level design is really the best. I played and finished Dishonored 1 and now I'm playing the second. I used to hate it when I played the first one because I would constantly die. I did not understand how to play the game and was just rushing into combat to kill everyone thinking powers made the character invincible. But this game is all about thinking strategically. Observe the level around you, check which powers and weapons you have and think of how you can use them to get to your goal, preferrably without alerting any enemies, and save a lot. I love it. You have to proceed crouching and slowly, and observe always what's going on around you. I'm playing on pc (win 10) and the game would always crash a few seconds after loading into a level. I set the game shortcut icon to run on compatibility mode for win 8 and I have been playing since yesterday without a crash.
Ok
Great game. Not only because of the slick, versatile gameplay, but because the world-building is so rich and detailed. There are tons of interesting little notes to read and the environments are rich with atmosphere. More immersive than most full-on RPGs.
One complaint about this amazing game: Hate the voice actors for both characters and the Outsider
Review for ps4 and xbox.....PC exists only for graphics comparisons.........right IGN ??
Yes
Great review!
Girl that opens door in the beginning of the game is THAT UGLY?! 1/10
I think that is the one of the girls in Hounds Pitts on the original one.
Every woman doesnt have to look like your anime girl
Lucas Jordan Nah it's not, I thought it was too though.
PlasmaFrog Haha damm dude
haha right to the face
So is this very similar to the original or is it significantly better? Curious because the first one bored me for some reason, I never finished it. Probably just wasn't my thing, even though I usually like that style of game (don't like the art style). Not saying it wasn't good, but is this one noticeably better or basically the same game with some new things?
I liked the original a lot but i absolutely adore this one. What a great fun game. Good review.
I just got the low chaos ending for the 1st playthrough as Corvo, now i'm going for the high chaos ending as Emily
9.3/10?? More like 30.3/10.
I'm getting this game soon and I would like an opinion, should I play through as Corvo or Emily?
She gave Uncharted 4 a 9.0 but now 9.3 to Dishonored 2. This is not fair.
Gaming Countdowns TRIGGERED
Gaming Countdowns well maybe in their opinion dishonered is better
Dishonored 2 is a better game though. How is that not fair.
Aron Drake It has better characters, but it falls short in terms of gameplay. It's pretty basic in those areas. I enjoyed the game, but not as much as I enjoyed Dishonored.
Gaming Countdowns cry more
Wow,a fair review.I would have give it 9/10 because of some issues but I think it deserves a 9.3
Please keep getting Australians to do reviews they are much better :P
Your gamma setting is so off, the black is turned grey. what the hell
It's a good game but I still hate the chaos mechanic. It punishes you for playing how you want to.
Bacon Just play how you want....
Howya Doin Why the ellipses? is there something else implied?
***** Nope.
So playing as a mass murdering maniac makes the game treat you as a mass murdering maniac? *LE GASP*
It really doesn't punish you in any way unless you somehow feel bad for being told that you've gone full on mass murderer.
I have watched numerous reviews and posted on reddit and gamefaq and Istill do not have the answer to one simple question. Approximately how long does it take to complete a single playthough of the game? I would also like to know how it compare in length to the original.
It says 16-20 hours
Awesome game! Enjoying my play through a lot currently
playing with high chaos and getting the bad ending made me feel guilty so this time its low chaos for me.
I'll play this game even after 2020.
Me too.
Playing it at home in social isolation
Why do most people assume that Delilah is a new character and actually Emily's aunt? Has nobody played Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches? Damn, she's a witch, and if it wasn't for Daud, she would have assumed control on Emily's mind since the first game.
Of course they give a hyped game a good score.
Andy No it isn't. It's more of the same stuff as the first except stealth is not even necessary anymore it seems.
Damion Dixon bringing things from the previous game isn't always a bad thing
Spiderman Not always. But being a GOOD sequel means you have to improve on the foundation and innovate. There is only ONE new enemy type in this game.
Damion Dixon You've got it the other way around
damion i've seen you rampage through this comment section hating on the game . why are you so butthurt and salty ?
For some reason, I waited to play this one. Dishonored 2's sales were down 40% from the original. I'm not sure why, however; I can tell you why I waited to play this one. After watching the trailer, I was excited, but as time elapsed, I just felt like it was going to be more of the same. I'm playing it right now, and well...it's more of the same. It's a great game, there's no denying that, however; it has a been-there-done-that feel to it. I'll play it through and see what happens.
the textures look bland in a lot of places.
Revoladin what a great example of how to be judgmental
That's the style. It's supposed to look like water colour rather than photorealism
Tomas Entrala Caruso here I thought the graphics looked a bit too good for a dishonored game
Revoladin play on pc, and you'll change your mind it looks phenomenal, it's just really demanding. I gotta crank it down to 720p to get a steady frame rate. still looks amazing.
No they don't? I'm playing it on PS4 and there's tons of small details on most things.
But follow the mission instructions, had 2 bugs, where I had to reload an earlier checkpoint (mission 7 and 9)
Next up, Watch Dogs 2.
chillm8 No lol it hasn't got that low on any review. All I seen earlier was 8s 9s and 4/5s nothing really negative though.
chillm8 I was just saying it didn't get any real negative review.
chillm8 I did and completed it.
I've already got it and been loving it - still came to see the reviews though
WTF 9.3 on GREAT game ????? on an IGN review am i dreaming?????
my only complaint about this game, like actually the only complain, is that it holds the players hand by having voiceover during gameplay, and then the little animated cutscenes in between which explains how she feels and everything. The first one you were kind of on your own, with the protagonist being silent and much more Half-Life 2 vibe than D2. However, just like they did with Deus Ex Mankind Divided, the additions to the gameplay, the powers, the world (building) and the new Void engine looking fantastic, I'm super psyched on it and I'm going to finish it with both characters.
Who else is here cuz this is 3 dollars on the ps store?😂
Apparently you and 3 others 😅
