"Dishonored is a game that I had been eagerly anticipating for some time now. After a few trailers depicting the gameplay, I became interested to say the least. Not because it was an original IP being released in the midst of samey AAA sequels (though that was a definite plus) but because the game seemed to offer an intensely organic sense of exploration and experimentation. On top of this, the gameplay seemed to have traces of both Thief and Deus Ex which excited me greatly. Did the game live up to my expectations?"
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.
