I didn’t get very much farther into the game this time because I ended up spending all of my time doing side things in the game. A system of hidden objects was added to the game and I ended up prioritizing them over making progress in the story. Finding them enables you to get more abilities and power-ups that can further your specific play strategy. Certain upgrades can open up even more areas for you to go through and explore. Another interesting mechanic that was introduced was the chaos mechanic. The areas that you go to in the game can change based on your previous actions. If you killed less people and were detected less, then it rewards you with a calmer and safer area with less enemies. But if you killed everyone and everything you saw, then the area is full of enemies that will be very alert for you. It’s interesting that even though it leaves how you progress up to you, it still punishes you for playing certain ways.

After playing a bit more the games ability to let you play as you choose began to shine even more. I managed to go through a building and avoid a lot of the enemies that I would have otherwise had to fight. At the end of the level I was given a screen telling me things about how I went through that level. It told me how many people I killed, how many times I was detected, how many bodies were found, how much loot I found, and many other things. This is great for showing the player how well they did playing through the level. It also gives you an opportunity to replay the level and try to do even better or find what you missed. I was also introduced to new powers that can be used and upgraded to suite any playstyle. These abilities will definitely make gameplay more interesting and customizable.

I started playing Dishonored 2 and after a basic tutorial, it jumped into the story and things started going down almost immediately. The game quickly told me what was going on and explained that I had multiple ways to play the game. I chose to go through the first area by using a bit of stealth and avoiding killing anybody except my target. The game has a large selection of things to interact with and options for ways to progress, which I like. There were also a lot of items spread around that would give you more information about the setting and what’s going on in the world. You just have to look around a little bit to get that extra lore, but it’s not required in any way. The combat is fairly simple for now but it has potential to get a lot more interesting, which I’m sure it will later on.
