The game isn’t set to be an open-world adventure like Fallout or Skyrim; instead they look to keep the focus on the story and narrative through dense self-contained stages. This doesn’t mean it’s necessarily going to be a completely linear title. From what I have seen, there will be plenty to keep you busy if you wish to take a break from the story. The developers are going for “quality over quantity”, which is a phrase that has been used a lot during the development of this 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.
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.
