While the series may not see a comeback soon, it definitely has not been put to rest forever.
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.
Daily Video Game writes: "Xbox Store has just kicked off Arkane Studios publisher sale, offering up to 80% off on some of the best games from Arkane Studios, including Deathloop, Dishonored, and Prey for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One right now!"
Expected. They're pretty good games, but developers need bigger total sales to really make profits on games to cover the cost of development and the hugely inflated cost of advertising and marketing.
If I remember correctly the game went on to sell 2.5 million copies on PC and console, and that just goes to show how much you have to prioritize your budget because selling 2.5m copies of a game isn't enough to guarantee a sequel anymore.
I still need to play Dishonored2 and Death of the Outsider. Hopefully I can start and finish Farcry5 within the next five days.
Brilliant.
Dishonored 2 was brilliant, an atmosphere like none other.
