Dishonored - Definitive Edition

Never had the chance to play this game when it came out, but after so many years it feels so good to finally give it a try and so far i am loving it. It feels so fresh and the setting is so mysterious. Great game.

great game great game great game

Dishonored is a stealth game where you play as Corvo Attano, the bodyguard of Empress Jessamine Kaldwin who was framed for her murder by the Regent. After being rescued by some conspirators, Corvo must take revenge on the Regent and his allies, either lethally, or non-lethal. The game rewards you with less enemies and a good ending if you decide to eliminate them non-lethally, and knocking out enemies instead of killing them. What initially drew me into this game was its steampunk aesthetic setting and oil painting-like graphics. But other than the art direction, the gameplay is very well-done as well. Corvo has many powers, but if you're playing stealthily the most useful power is Blink, a teleportation power. It also opens many pathways such as rooftops and ventilation ducts. Honestly, it's not that hard if you consider the alternate paths. And sometimes there's also sidequests you can do, by helping friendly characters or information about loot. The version sold on GOG is the Definitive Edition, which contains all DLCs. There's the Void Walker’s Arsenal, a collection of bone charms with their extra slots and some loot you get early in the game. There's Dunwall City Trials, challenging score stages where you are tasked to either sneak, fight, or solve puzzles. It's pretty fun, but does get in the way of achievement completion with how difficult the achievements are. But the best DLCs are The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches, where you play as the assassin Daud on a redemptive path investigating someone named Delilah. In total it's almost as long as the main game itself, and offers a different perspective. Daud's Blink also freezes time, allowing you to take even more unusual paths mid-jump. If you enjoy stealth games, then Dishonored is a title you must play. It's the peak of the genre, with great gameplay and art direction. Plus there's some celebrity talent in here, like Chloe Moretz and Michael Madsen.

Buy it just buy it its so good

Even though this is an older game it still has a fresh feel. I remember trying to start on the Xbox but it fell by the wayside like so many of my console games. Now that I have it on PC I'm loving every minute!
