Dishonored review

Exceptional

by ramiel

A classic. A fantastic stealth game set in levels full of content, multiple ways to solve levels and a great set of powers to play around with. The game looks and sounds beautiful. The only problem is the morality system which punishes you for using a good portion of your power set.

Honestly? Great game. I went into this expecting it to be a dated title with some clunky mechanics that have shown their age after 10 years, but, surprisingly, I had a blast. The story is very predictable, the game is relatively short, and there are some other flaws -- but the gameplay and combat are too fun. It's just so satisfying to stop time and blink across the map taking down your enemies in stealth: you just feel like a ninja/assassin god. The gameplay loop never really got tiring to me, and there are plenty of different ways to approach each level which I would imagine makes replayability very favorable. I also really appreciated that the non-lethal options were always compelling, satisfying, and made sense within the greater, steampunk theme of the Dunwall world that is here. Overall, I definitely recommend this one -- it's not one of the best games I've played, but it's definitely going to be up there with some of my favorite stealth games ever.

Overall: 8/10

9/10

Plaisant, rapide, univers riche, scenario pas terrible cependant

good game with great sandbox. The world is well build and beliveble.

Probably the best 1st person stealth game since Thief

.

What stands out to me the most about Dishonored is how Arkane Studios managed to create an incredible story and world that is alive and complex and then create a masterful stealth game that is jampacked with innovation that the genre has never seen and finally create a challenging gameplay system that slowly ramps up over the course of the game and never makes the player overpowered. 

8.5/10

Great game, I love the dystopian vibe the art style is amazing and great characters, I was still finding new stuff even after I had finished it a couple times

Actually pretty good. I didn’t play this game when it originally came out. It has fun creative gameplay and a unique style to it. The lore is cool. The story is meh. The overall experience was good.

Final Score: B+
