for the first 10-15 hours, I was ready to call it GoTY.
Unfortunately, it started to lose steam a little too soon.
But you didn't say - is it a musthave/mustplay or is yet another mediocrity it might be better to never touch?
Have to be somewhat evil…
Finally fired up and finished Dishonored 2, had been sitting in my library from day of release.
It's fun for what it is, enjoyed using most of the perks, especially far reach and shadow walk.
It's not as stealthy or as hard as Dishonored 1, I did find it quite easy even though
I was playing it on hard mode.
Call me surprised since it was a failure due to low sales. Anyway thanks for sharing.I strongly recommend the standalone expansion "death of the outsider" which in my view is miles ahead of Dishonored 2 in terms of narrative, game mechanics, level design, freedom, interesting main character and captivating main story and side quests (despite being smaller than Dishonored 2).

Maybe but the low sales of Dishonored 2 & it's expansion put the series on ice. Its the same thing that happened with Deus Ex. So hopefully in another seven years we see a sequel.I don't think that low sales is indication of quality, and sales is usually a dynamic figure. Probably the reason is that people were already finished with the main version and thought that the standalone expansion was more of the same.
Either way, I think that the expansion was way more interesting and fun to play compared to the dishonored 2.
Ok, I've reached the next-to-final level of Temple of Ianna in Severance: Blade of Darkness, and am getting constant crash to desktop during the intro cinematic to the level. I've tried it three times now, and it always crashes. It's the GOG version. And weirdly enough, upon doing some light googling, I've not been to find similar experience from other people.
So, I decided to watch some playthrough of the final stages of the game, and just call it quits. I was also getting a bit tired of the combat, and upon seeing what the final stages would bring, I'm kind of happy I did that. The final fights seem really annoying and difficult. So maybe it's for the best. But maybe I'll attempt to actually finish it on a future replay, because I did really like the experience overall.
I loved the exploring, the level design, the combat (when I managed to master it), the music, the atmosphere. Too bad the storytelling was kind of generic and forgettable. But I loved the "conan" look and feel of the world. It kind of worked, even though it was a bit shallow when you think about it. I guess, sort of, how Dark Souls also managed to get away with a really obtuse narrative.
Anyways, highly recommended.
Fyi: another game removed from gog.
