    Dishonored 2 is a masterpiece. Great art, great characters, gameplay options out the ass… gotta go back and play it now

      I started replaying the first one last week. We really had no idea how good we had it back then. I don’t think we’ll ever get another experience like that again.

        I just played through both and it’s definitely 2. The graphical difference between the two is actually absurd, and the QOL changes, level design, and two main characters pushes it into a separate league from the first. Only thing about 2 that isn’t better is the voice acting. The VA is HORRIBLE in D2 it’s actually kind of distracting. No thanks to Vincent D’onofrio who is an atrocious actor.

    Then they were forced to make a live service game that they had no passion for and weren’t adept at which naturally failed and killed the studio

        Arkane Austin made Prey and was a brilliant game that showed how much potential the studio had before they were forced off to the live service gulag.

      RIP. Live service death is this generations bought by big publisher

      Dishonored series is one of my favorite games. Love a good immersive sim

    They survived, made prey and then it kinda went downhill from there. Now they are making a Marvel action adventure game 🤢.
