Consistently very good, good fun was had
I was very eager to play Dishonored. I did, and I had a lot of fun. It was good. Very good at times, but in comparison to Arx Fatalis and Prey, it was probably the “weakest” of the three Arkane games I played so far. Which is a testament to how good of a studio they are, since to have something that’s”weakest” still be on that good of a level is nothing short of amazing. The story of Dishonored is... okay. Just that. Okay. There are no particularly interesting characters to speak of, they are all pretty flat, and Corvo himself is basically a blank slate for the player. You can guess major story beats before half way of the game if you read the notes and listen to the dialogue. A novel feature of the game’s story is that it react to your levels of violence and how lethal you are in dealing with your enemies – changing appropriately. It’s a fine concept that I enjoy and respect a lot. I wish more stories had non-lethal options of dealing with opposition. Speaking of positives, one has to definitely mention the art direction – the whole game has a rather unique, oil-painting-esque aesthetic. It doesn’t go for a very high realism portrayal, which defintely caused it to get older slower on the graphical front. The level design is nice as well – the levels are often quite spacious, with numerous alleyways and routes to approach your target, suited for different playstyles. That being said, I think Dishonored falters a little bit by not providing a non-lethal option to deal with hand to hand combat. The result is that if you want to go non lethal, as I did, after you get discovered you might as well reload the game, because in a direct confrontation you HAVE TO kill people or be killed yourself. If you are interested in seeing me go through the game blind and seeing me discover it’s world and comment on it, you can see me playing it on my youtube channel, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZT5DzcyEZo&list=PLp4TpsJ7HUWVXdu09GfDWo3xdneIcaGLZ
