What are you playing this week?
(lemmy.ml)
A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Halfway through Dishonored 2 ATM and loving it - feels a bit slicker and more polished than the original which I also adored. The game had a lot of issues with motion sickness in the past which prevented me from experiencing it.
Is the game enjoyable without playing the first one? Got it for free on PlayStation+ a few weeks ago but didn't want to miss on important details.
Difficult to say what it'd be like as a newcomer as I'm quite familiar with the world and characters.
The gameplay is slick as ever and I'd argue more fun than the first, but there's not much of a tutorial at the beginning - a fair amount of assumed knowledge is implied.
I'd say for the best experience, you should still play the first one as there's plenty of throwback in the second installment's story. They're very much married in that respect.
If you're curious, the first one must be quite cheap these days and well worth it in my opinion.
