Therefore, Dishonored’s missions in terms of depth, combination and flexibility will be identical to the ones from those two classic and beloved FPS games."
Both these games look great and are getting a ton of attention. A sleeper hit game is when a game does very well at launch and no one expected it. These are games people are expecting a lot of and will sell a lot at launch.
The way Bethesda published games turn out though, I am understandably reserved.
