Dishonored 2 Limited Edition Best Buy Exclusive The Royal Protector Bundle - PlayStation 4

This won't be much a review of the game itself, rather this specific edition of it. The Royal Protector bundle comes with the limited edition of the base game, which includes digital codes for the first 'Dishonored' on PS4 and the Imperial Assassin's Pack for 'Dishonored 2.' The expiration dates on each code have already passed, but I redeemed mine without any problems. The game comes in a standard PS4 case, which is wrapped in plastic. But there is a steelbook besides, and it is not the same as the steelbook which comes with the collector's edition. That version's steelbook features a close-up of Kaldwin's face on the front and Corvo's on the back. This version's steelbook has the same image as is on the back of the standard PS4 case, of Kaldwin sitting on the throne and Corvo beside and behind her, only isolated from any other images. The back of this steelbook is just the same image re-used. It also comes with a book, titled 'Corroded Man', written by a novelist who uses the name Adam Christopher. I've never read any of his other work, to be honest, but I thought 'Corroded Man' was good, worthy of the 'Dishonored' name. Admittedly, it does highlight how the extremely fun gameplay of the 'Dishonored' series masks some of the lacking areas in terms of narrative. But it should be an enjoyable read to anyone who enjoys novels and wants more from this universe. The book is in paperback form and a little over 350 pages long. A keychain in the shape of Corvo's mask is also included. A simple thing, but I've begun using it for my own keys and it's nice to show off my fandom with something that is practical. All of this is housed in a thin paper box, which has essentially the same design as what is featured on the standard case. I would also like to state for the record that the box mentioned above arrived damaged in my case (and I'm including pictures). I'm assuming this is part of the reason several of these special editions have been going on sale, since each one I've ordered has arrived like so, despite no damage to the boxes they arrive in. I wish Best Buy would be upfront about this, but they're still great deals. Overall, I don't know if I can recommend this enough. 'Dishonored 2' quickly became one of my favourite games, I played it again and again in quick succession. If you love it that much or haven't yet picked it up but think you want to, this price for this edition is a tough deal to top. Definitely worth the plunge, in my eyes.

The condition of the exterior Packaging was terrible and impossible to consider a collector's item. Two games should come with this but as of May 1st 2017 the Dishonored Definitive Edition code is void. Considering the heavy damage and the fact that one third of the product has been void for over a year I feel there should be emphasis on these facts. The price is not unreasonable as Dishonored 2 alone costs $20. I'm glad I didn't lose any money with shipping cost.

Was planning on buying both dishonored 1&2 for new consoles when i found this package. Got both games for a steal of a deal, a book thats a decent size and a keychain of corvo's mask. The only thing i didn't like about this whole package is that the keychain is solid so u have to put it on a 2nd one anyway.

Bestbuy quality handling pathetic, damaged package

First off, I got this on sale for around $35 so that is taken into account when awarding 4 stars. Also, mine arrived with some outer packaging damage, so as a collector that is also taken into account. The games themselves (this includes a digital download of the first Dishonored game on Playstation Network as of this review) are very innovative and fun to play. If you are into adventure/stealth-action and just a unique experience then you will find these games to be enjoyable. The digital download is somewhat large at 32.5 gigabytes, but that is expected from quality download offerings. Also comes with some bonus DLC for Dishonored 2. The steelbook is nice, I'm a fan of steelbooks. It's nothing special, however. It has the matte texture to it and isn't very colorful. Mine arrived mint, and it is included inside the packaging (not just thrown in the shipping box as an extra) I haven't read the novel, but it is a full fledged paperback novel, not just a tiny comic, etc. The keychain looks cool as well, it has some weight to it and is made of a metal. I'm not sure what I'd rate this if i'd paid the full $75-80 asking price, I feel it isn't worth that amount of coin. But at the $35-40 range it is well worth it if you are a fan of the series or the genre. I probably would have given 5 stars based on my own experience if the outer packaging weren't damaged upon receipt.

The limited edition includes a nice, heavy keychain that looks great. The paperback novel is also a great read. I started out replaying the first game by way of the code included to download the definitive edition of the game. Then I read the novel, which takes place 15 years later, shortly before the beginning of the sequel game. Dishonored 2 fixes all the things I didn't like about the original while retaining all the parts that worked so well. It looks amazing. The painterly aesthetic is still there, but so much more detailed and colorful.

This is a great game The steelbook is nice and the keychain and novel are great.The code for Dishonered definitive edition was expired so i kinda feel cheated.Best Buy should change the the product page to reflect that.

After receiving the item and taking it out of the packaging to find the box for the bundle to be severely damaged, without even breaking the seal I returned it and ordered another one, assuming this was an isolated incident. Nope. When I received the second one, this box was even more damaged than the first, and when I broke the seal to actually examine the contents, I found that the code for Dishonored 1 had expired in May 2017 and the Dishonored 2 DLC codes expired in November 2017. This being December 2017, those codes aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Unless you're interested in the keychain, collector's game case and book, just buy the regular edition of the game. With the money you save you can pick up the DLC or Dishonored 1.
