Not as bad as most people think, but not as good as earlier Arcane games. The core level design and abilities of Dishonored appear here and still work well. The style is cool, and the game is well acted. I wish that there was greater incentive to stealth. The game is also very easy from both a combat and mission perspective. Given that there are only 4 levels, I wish there was more of a Hitman-style freedom to exploit different opportunities to kill your targets in one day. The face that there was only one solution to the story was disappointing.
