This is the second in a series of video essays covering Arkane Studios' work since Dishonored. In this video, I closely examine the themes, mechanics and narrative of Dishonored 2. My focus is on the ways in which Dishonored 2 does and does not live up to the legacy of the first.

Content Warning: Violent gameplay footage throughout.
