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.
Dishonored's engaging lore, creative levels, and timeless gameplay are well worth revisiting for fans of the immersive sim and stealth genre.

I cannot wait for this game on Tuesday, it looks like like a blast. I love the environments, characters, abilities, stealth, and the freedom of the game.
"Surplus of NPCs mean story can lose focus"
"A slow-burner; takes a while to learn how everything works"
I see a surplus of NPCs and a long learning curve as positives. Also I'm not too worried about the length. Most open world games can be beaten quickly if you forego any sidequests and exploration. I have a feeling that the game will be long if you want it to be.
No Problem, wasn't Heavenly Sword around 6 hours long? and that was fantastic.
The good thing about short games (short games that are GOOD) is that you are much more likely to play through them again after a while. So you are getting your moneys worth in the end. If they are not so good on the other hand...
under 4 hours? Wow, so not only dose this game not look good and looks like it wants to be bioshock but it's a short game as well....not surprised.
under 4 hours? Hmm. I'm not sure how I feel about that. But then again. What is the context of those 4-hour playthroughs? Did they have a guide? what difficulty was it on? did they cut npc quests off (it is possible to miss quests altogether and I have seen that).
EDIT:
From what I've gathered on some forums, people were doing streams and basically speed-running it on low difficulties.
