"Dishonored has worked incredible magic on the stealth-action genre of games and Arkane has answered more than a few questions that other developers have been struggling with, with regards to story motivation and feedback as well as stealth gameplay in general, and the world and characters are deceptive in their intention to intrigue you, resulting in one of the most believable play spaces I’ve ever seen.
For stealth fans, and even those mildly interested in the genre, this is a must-play, but if you enjoy your action and adventure games a little more free-flowing and your story a little more lightweight, Dishonored isn’t for you."
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.
