In an alternate universe, some time around the 17th century, chaos is brewing. The plague is ravaging the population, leaving what’s left of humanity fighting for control. When all is lost, another catastrophe strikes—the Empress is slain, assassinated as part of a plot laid forth by her own Court. Sworn protector and bodyguard of the Empress, Corvo Attano, is framed for the murder, and an attempt is made on his life, too… And this is just the first five minutes of Dishonored, painting a bleak picture of turmoil, corruption, and famine.
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.
