Rich of Xboxer360 writes, "The newest IP on the market is finally here. Published by Bethesda and developed by Arkane Studios, these guys have previously worked on the art and animation of Bioshock 2. It’s no wonder that Dishonored looks very Bioshock-esque and the combat similar to the weapon/plasmids formula in the series.
You play as Corvo Attano, the Empresses’ most trusted Lord Protector who has just returned home from a diplomatic mission in a bid to seek help to relieve the city of Dunwall of their Rat plague. Upon your return things go bad pretty quickly. Framed for the Empresses’ murder and the kidnapping of her daughter Emily, you end up in prison – so much for being a ‘Legendary’ Bodyguard!"
It’s a shame, really, that so few games have “borrowed” Dishonored’s Blink – in the right hands, such a power could be game-changing.
There was a small game called Aragami that “borrowed” the blink, that was a good game.
Unfortunately I heard the sequel wasn’t good so I stayed away from trying it out.
The sequel changed some of the mechanics from the first game but it was still a very polished and enjoyable experience. You should definitely give it a shot sometime. The game's currently on sale on Steam
Okay thanks for the heads up, will look out for it being on sale one day.
I really did like the first and played it back to back as soon as I finished the first play through.
Dishonored's engaging lore, creative levels, and timeless gameplay are well worth revisiting for fans of the immersive sim and stealth genre.
