You will do many things in Dishonored that you have done in other games - you'll sneak, you'll snipe, you'll knife guys in the neck, you'll upgrade your gadgets and throw some grenades, and you'll gawp at how elegantly you do it. What you won't do is ever forget that you're in a city fueled by whale oil and threatened by street gangs, where the rich hide behind the City Watch and the poor weep blood in the streets. You'll never feel like a visitor in Dishonored, like some impartial observer just there to cause some trouble and go. The details of life on the Isles seep unobtrusively into your pores until you cannot help but feel like a citizen of Dunwall yourself: a very pissed off citizen.
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.
