"There's always a distinct relish to be had in donning the guise of the bad guy. Be it swinging Darth Vader's red sabre in the opening act of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, or shambling around as a Left 4 Dead zombie, it sometimes just feels a little bit cooler to be dispatching the goody-two-shoes of gaming rather than playing as them.
Dishonored's latest DLC pack, The Knife of Dunwall, knows this all too well. You take on the role of Daud, one of the main game's antagonists, responsible for the assassination of Dunwall's empress, exploring his motives and regrets. And spilling a fair amount of claret along the way."
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.
