It feels like it’s been quite some time since Dishonored made it’s hugely impressive debut, reinventing the first-person stealth gameplay by setting it in a world where high-tech gadgets existed, but were rarely in your possession. Instead, the player had to rely on their own creativity, cunning and a little bit of magic. Following the first downloadable content (DLC) pack, the abstract Dunwall City Trials, The Knife of Dunwall is a return to the more narrative lead experience of the original campaign.
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.
