GamingLives gets some serious hands-on time with both the Xbox 360 and PC versions of Dishonored.
"There’s an undoubtedly huge amount of hype around Dishonored, and it’s almost too easy to explain why; it’s a gorgeous, intuitive and intelligent masterpiece that puts the player’s experience first. It’s not afraid to give the player an arsenal of tools, abilities and an end goal and lightly nudge them in its direction, and the amount of freedom it provides is so refreshing and engaging that you’re bound to end up discussing your play-throughs with friends for months to come."
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.
Daily Video Game writes: "Xbox Store has just kicked off Arkane Studios publisher sale, offering up to 80% off on some of the best games from Arkane Studios, including Deathloop, Dishonored, and Prey for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One right now!"
Want. This. Now. I'm hoping Arkane and their game can manage to dethrone Deus Ex and release a game that will be played, discussed and pined over for years to come!
