In the past few years new IP’s in gaming have seen a sudden decline. This is due to the “high risk” factor that publishers take when backing a studio behind such an idea. Yet Bethesda had no problem getting behind Arkane Studios new project Dishonored. The game has a gripping Steam Punk setting that allows gamers to see a new style of art in an industry that tailors to the realistic. While Dishonored isn’t the first huge Steam Punk game (Bioshock a more notable title with steam punk art) it does have a style distinct to the game.
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.
Dishonored's engaging lore, creative levels, and timeless gameplay are well worth revisiting for fans of the immersive sim and stealth genre.
