There are allegedly no “wrong” ways to play Dishonored, but if there were, I would have thoroughly tested a very large percentage of them. This Arkane-developed stealth/action game has a cruel learning curve that tested my creativity and coordination in tandem, but every misstep gave me three new ideas for my next attempt. By the end of the demo level available at QuakeCon 2012, I had successfully assassinated my target and escaped with the predatory grace of a roguish mountain lion. The fact that I died ten times and cowered in fear behind an ivory bathtub in the process is mostly incidental.
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.
