Due to the power of democracy, Assassin’s Creed III received its well deserved due as our 2012 Game of the Year victor. However, although Connor’s stealthy adventure was both memorable and very well made, it wasn’t my first overall pick. Instead, that went to Dishonored – Arkane Studios’ fantastic stealth-action/first-person shooter hybrid – which won me over with its great content, satisfying mechanics and general abundance of freedom. Despite being a risky venture as a new intellectual property, the title has cemented itself as being one of this generation’s best releases, and will be a hard one to forget.
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.
