Hi this is Russ for cgrundertow, And if you're a fan of cutting throats and stealth, boy
do i have a great game for you.
Dishonored is a tale of revenge betrayal *** and loss, and while the story may be familiar,
the setting incredible art style and splendid cast of characters, really make the world
come alive.
The story is simply put a breathtaking and engrossing experience.
Dishonored is a first person stealth game, with touches of Deus Ex and Bioshock for good
measure. There are nine missions you will undertake, each with a large open mission
area, once you're done you go back to the pub the game’s hub.
This works remarkably well, as the game features so many choices that impact the game. You
will want to play this one again and again to see all the differences subtle and not
so subtle.
For example, it’s easily possible to play the entire game, without ever taking anyones
life. The more violent you are the darker the game becomes.
Combat is a very brutal and satisfying affair.
You have a sword which you can stab, slash, and dismember your enemies with.
A pistol which packs quite the punch and a crossbow with sleeping and normal bolts to
kill your enemies.
The stealth system allows you to choke out the guards. Or perform a brutal stealth kill.
The choice is yours and my there’s so many to make.
You get access to powers that can slow down time, or allow you to rapidly jump from place
to place. Which can get you on top of roofs for a bit of action ala assassins creed.
There’s plenty of abilities to gain and they're all very fun to use.
With so much variety and freedom of choice, dishonored rarely has a dull moment.
The art style really sets this one apart from the rest, while the textures may be a bit
rough, the superb art fantastic designs,
along with stunning character animations make dishonored an incredibly beautiful experience.
Honestly few games rarely give you this amount of freedom, and make every choice count like
Dishonored does.
Its a shame the protagonist is silent, as some well placed dialogue would have ramped
up the emotions in the game.
Still the opening gives plenty of reasons to be a vengeful and violent assassin.
With some brutal and visceral combat, tons of choices just begging for multiple play
throughs, and fantastic visuals, you would be mad not to pick up this game. Few games
manage to get so much right.
