I didn't think too much of the story. the lore and the setting are well crafted, but the story is nothing to write home about. think the DLC's from the first game, that's what it basically is, witches, magical paintings, and corvo on a revenge path out of love. Honor, empire throne, benevolent rulers vs totally evil rulers, power to the people, a spoon full of naiveté and romanticism; it's a bit cheesy from a perspective of an anti authoritarian. it doesn't interfere with the game's quality though.
I found it wonderful how they crafted the world. from the ship hub, you can see levels you visited and will visit. basically the whole game world is always visible from a vantage point. On the in game maps, you see the whole region, and it feels almost as if the whole world existed, kinda like elder scrolls games, where regions in previous games you could see on the map were used in later games. So that part is well crafted and makes up for the paper thin plot.
The game's a total work of art. the amount of amazing paintings you can see, the architecture, the interior design. it's all so well put together, it looks absolutely real, despite the stylistic approach. The immersion factor is through the roof.
together with the awesome gameplay design in both the stealth and combat, the hud customizations, and the very robust AI, the game is much better than the original for me. The crack in the slab level that I already mentioned, is among the best video game levels I've played.

As usual, you or ANYONE wanting to play it, feel free to contact me, I can share my account so you can grab a denuvo license and play in offline mode. |

@Drowning_witch: yes I saw your generous offer in various threads, but I was under the impression that license gives you a limited time to play until it needs to be activated again. I'm a very slow player, so it'll probably take me weeks to finish the game. Can I play the game in offline mode indefinitely after activation?

It was a fun game, next playthrough will be me murdering everyone in my way instead of being all sneaky.

@Casus If you like to boast about making "the right guess", so be it. Instead of being salty you should be happy and cheerful they went out of their way and do the same the CE table does.

Not sure if it's just me, but it seems quite a bit smoother after the last couple of patches.

More information surfacing, but still they haven't detailed all the new difficulty options... or have they?

If you mean that they detailed the features like only saving at checkpoints within a certain difficulty, then, no.

As a general warning, no more personal poking/pot-stirring guys (you know who  ), it doesn't lead to anything useful and only pollutes the thread with unnecessary grudges that no one wants to read (I can 100% guarantee you that xD).
If you really can't tolerate each other, try to use the ignore button, or whatever Jedi mental trick is necessary to avoid such clashes. Thanks

Thanks to Drowning_witch I could test the game a bit.
But now the game is showing in my OWN library as playable. What kind of explosions am I to expect if I start it again, being online, from my own account / library?

it's just gonna take you to the store page, it simply lists all the downloaded steam games on your PC.

Bastards!
As a side note, I love the game. Would buy it, but 33 Euro is a bit too much atm.
Will buy it at ~20 Euro.

Sure, make yourself believe that if you feel better. But, unlike you, I wouldn't have quoted your post with the update if the opposite was the case, so maybe, give that a thought
