Doesn't really fix many problems of the first Dishonored but it's still decent.

I think the premise is cool, and the locations, set pieces and even side characters, but I never cared about moving forward on the story, I actively think it gets worse as it goes.

Story is not the game's highlight, but I loved the game itself. If I allow the in-level design and worldbuilding to count as story, though, which I think is warranted here, particularly on the time-flip mission and with the alternate fates to the bosses...

7.5/10

I liked the original a lot more. Something about this one didn't hit as well for me both from a story and a gameplay perspective.

I played the second game first, and then tried to go back for the original and found the gameplay much too frustrating and unforgiving. It also felt much older to me than it actually was.

Haven't played.

@Snake5555555555

Got another Silent Hill 3 question for you. What do you make of the fact that darkness replaces the fog for the first half of the game? I always thought Team Silent just wanted to keep the fog from getting stale after two games, but now I'm wondering if there's a thematic purpose behind it.

I don't have quite a solid answer for that, but I would most likely say the fog is specific to Silent Hill only. Heather could be manifesting the darkness in its place to represent her uncertainty. Also, maybe it just made more sense for the time of day and the more time spent in interiors in SH3?
