Since it first turned heads at E3, the gaming media has been in a passionate love affair with Bethesda and developer Arkane Studios’ new IP Dishonored, so it’s a shame that the game will likely end up with the tag “sleeper hit” rather than blockbuster. Without a lucrative number after the title to denote a sequel, or a billion dollar franchise name in front of it, Dishonored may be passed over by people that have already allotted their gaming money on one or more of the massive franchise titles due out later this year, not to mention a whole new console from Nintendo.
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.
Daily Video Game writes: "Xbox Store has just kicked off Arkane Studios publisher sale, offering up to 80% off on some of the best games from Arkane Studios, including Deathloop, Dishonored, and Prey for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One right now!"
I could be wrong this game might be awesome, but I have a feeling this is a game the critics love more than the gamers will.
Geez, havent seen one bad review yet. All 9s and 10s! I just learned about this game a week or so ago and was already going to pick it up when it came out. Looks like it could be the sleeper hit of the year!
Been waiting for this since it was first announced in 2010
Well I guess I'm prob wrong I just looked into this game more and it does look badass. I was going to buy xcom, now I'm torn.
