Dishonored 2: Dishonor harder

There are improvements and downgrades.
You get more powers, a proper new game+, more combat options, bone charm and rune crafting to get really fun combinations.

The levels are bigger, but their design is more linear, ironically, and getting all collectibles or even progressing through the story sometimes feels tedious, as you search for the key/code in a large area instead of being allowed to progress at your own pace, teleporting over everything is rarely an option.
The story centered much less on the main character, to the point where the outcome doesn't change no matter who you choose. You also don't get a lot of interactions between the Corvo and Emily and it feels like you have no motive to progress besides finishing the story.

It's more bloated and linear, but it's still dishonored. High chaos runs are still high chaos runs, and figuring out how to save someone is still the same.

Definitely play the first game with DLCs and then come here if you want more.
