WC - Last week we saw the somewhat sneaky release of Dishonored on the major gaming platforms, the game published by Bethesda (of Skyrim and Fallout fame) and developed by Arkane Studios (art design on Bioshock 2). Just three weeks prior to the launch of Ubisoft’s ‘new and improved’ Assassin’s Creed 3, it seems that Bethesda may have been hoping to entice some of the blood hungry shadow stalkers ahead of the blockbuster release. Whether they succeeded or not to remains to be seen but this game certainly gives those gamers looking for something different a unique assassin game experience – and whilst the assassination gaming fan may not have been completely enticed, the game will certainly have won over another kind of fan, the old school gamer.
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.
