The premise, in the publisher's words
Dishonored 2 is set 15 years after the Lord Regent has been vanquished and the dreaded Rat Plague has passed into history. An otherworldly usurper has seized the throne from Empress Emily Kaldwin, leaving the fate of the Isles hanging in the balance. As either Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano, travel beyond the legendary streets of Dunwall to Karnaca, a once-dazzling coastal city that holds the key to restoring Emily to power. Armed with the mark of the Outsider and powerful new supernatural abilities, hunt down your enemies and forever alter the fate of the Empire.

How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 20.4 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 49.1 hrs, roughly 2.4 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $5.99, that works out to about $0.29 per hour of the main story, or $0.12 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-2400/AMD FX-8320 or better, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB or better. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 60GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
