About

Dishonored 2 (2016) is a first-person action game that lets you define your own playstyle by mixing stealth, assassination, mobility, and direct combat. You'll blend supernatural abilities with tactical tools to eliminate enemies however you see fit, whether sneaking past guards undetected or engaging in brutal head-on confrontations. The game's flexible approach to mission completion made it a standout in the action genre.

For PC performance, Dishonored 2 is relatively accessible compared to demanding modern titles. An entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 4047 handles minimum requirements, paired with a CPU scoring approximately 3185 and 8 GB of RAM. Most mid-range graphics cards will deliver solid FPS at 1080p with high settings, making it a good benchmark title for testing how older hardware handles contemporary performance expectations.

If you enjoy action games with player freedom and creative combat options, Dishonored 2's 85/100 rating suggests it's worth playing. The game rewards both aggressive and methodical approaches, offering substantial replayability for different playstyles.

Performance profile

Released in November 2016, Dishonored 2 sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

Action titles like Dishonored 2 reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Dishonored 2; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

Dishonored 2 is set 15 years after the Lord Regent has been vanquished and the dreaded Rat Plague has passed into history. An otherworldly usurper has seized the throne from Empress Emily Kaldwin, leaving the fate of the Isles hanging in the balance. As either Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano, travel beyond the legendary streets of Dunwall to Karnaca, a once-dazzling coastal city that holds the key to restoring Emily to power. Armed with the mark of the Outsider and powerful new supernatural abilities, hunt down your enemies and forever alter the fate of the Empire.
