Dishonored Review - Midlife Gamer

DigitalPariah says: "If anyone were to ask me my favourite stealth series, it would have to be the granddaddy of them all, Thief. With the fourth in the series seemingly in a development no mans land, I was hoping that this new IP from Bethesda and Arkane Studios would fill that Garrett shaped hole in my gaming world. That said, it would appear that I am not alone, and the people over at Arkane Studios have a similar passion for the steam-punk master of shadows." 9/10

Why does everyone keep calling this Steampunk, I wonder? It may be set in a sort of alternate Victorian England, but the technology is all very electrical, even modern industrial. Everything seems to be running on a fuel source vaguely reminiscent of fossil fuels.

Plus aesthetically, the game is very blue and white heavy as opposed to brown and copper.

Not really a big deal though. Just an opinion. Game is boss.

It's whale oil punk.

Yeah...? It's a dirty, viscous, liquid-based fuel source, much like...fossil fuels.

Perhaps you just skimmed past "vaguely reminiscent" on your first read through.
