4Player-"In the 6 years since, other than some level-design work on Bioshock 2, Arkane had been slowly toiling away from prying eyes; like mad wizards kept under lock and key lest their ambitious conglomeration of magic be disturbed...As Arkane Studios toiled under a blanket of secrecy, it was this central element, balance, that they were trying to get right. Perilously molding and cajoling divergent elements into a satisfactory brew, and attempting to do so where many other games have often failed before. With the release of Dishonored, they succeeded."
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.
