Dishonored 2 review: New stealth highs hobbled by frustrating PC performance lows

November 29, 2016

There’s no getting around it, so let’s start with the bad: Dishonored 2 is busted on many, many PCs.That said, it's lightly less busted after installing the new 1.2 patch that released on Tuesday. But things still aren’t great by any means. I’m still seeing wild frame rate swings, from 100+ down to 50 on Ultra settings with a GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 1080p, depending on where I am and what I’m looking at. Worse is that the settings still seem like window dressing. Frame rates stay almost exactly the same regardless of whether I’m on Ultra or Very Low, and the game relies on console-style upscaling as a crutch.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
