Arkane Studios’ Dishonored has been riding high on gamers’ most wanted lists for some time now, with Electronic Theatre’s most recent hands-on time with the videogame proving the open-ended nature of the gameplay was particularly inviting. But a quick hour on one specific area chosen for the specific purpose of showing off a videogame does not offer a full enough picture. It’s until the final product arrived in our office that Electronic Theatre had the chance to truly examine Dishonored, and see whether the development team could live up to the grand promises made.
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.
