This is basically just more of the same from Dishonored 1, which is by no means a bad thing. Sequels will often use the same mechanics while adding a few new ones. I do slightly prefer the first game to this one, however the sequel does have a few benefits to it.

The obvious new attraction here is being able to play as Emily. She has a completely new move set with some awesome abilities. Some of the abilities like 'Domino' are completely broken but also really satisfying to pull off. This game goes even further with the creativity in murdering soldiers and I love it.

The levels are well designed, much like the first game. I love the concept of 'A Crack in the Slab' as it is utilised to it's potential without it feeling overused. 'Clockwork Mansion' also has a clever gimmick however I despise the level due to the enemy types.

The brutality in this game goes even further than it did in the first game. Slicing heads off has never been more fun. High and low chaos was brought back however the ending differences this time are minuscule.

I would recommend getting this game even though it doesn't bring much new to the table. The problems of the first game are still there such as having to manual save, however I would probably consider this to be an improvement over the first game. The price is slightly higher so I would only buy on sale.
