BETA PATCH 1.3 REVIEW:
Now that they've patched it, I love this game. With a moderate OC on my GPU and adjustive resolution set to manual at 60, I can get a solid 50fps on ultra settings. There's so much more to the gameplay than there was in Dishonored 1, but it's in the same taste so it just feels right. At first I was kind of overwhelmed by how much larger the maps are and how many runes and bonecharms are to get an how much smarter the enemies are, but now that I've played more I really like it.

TL;DR: If you liked the first one, buy this one.

ORIGINAL PRE-BETA PATCH REVIEW:
I never buy games at full price (and never review games either), but I loved the first Dishonored so much I pre-ordered Dishonored 2. I was pumped to play it at midnight 11/10 when it became available a day early for pre-orders. There are many neat changes about the game, but I cannot truly enjoy it because even on Very Low settings my mid-level gaming rig can barely reach 30 fps (if that) in normal gameplay and in combat even less. The graphics are far better than the first one, but not enough to where this should be happening. If I can run all my other games (such as Battlefield 4, Crysis 2, etc.) maxed out at 60+ fps, then I should be able to run this well. I will be playing through the first Dishonored (for my fourth time) until they (hopefully) release an update to fix this horribly unoptimized game/game engine.
