    This game is one of best stealth-action games i have ever played!

    There are so many ways and routes to complete an objective. The graphics is so good for a 2012 game. The teleportation power, the double jump, bend time, possesion, made this game more fun! The story is great! The only downside is no new game+ so i have to get the runes all over again to get the good or bad ending.    This game is one of best stealth-action games i have ever played!

    This game is as near to perfect as you can get. Amazing stealth, AI, and challenge if you want it to be. Highly recommend.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game's insane.

    I played this game as non-violently as possible, as when I played this originally, I played it just doing whatever I wanted. Doing this made me love this game. Doing certain side quests in order to remain nonlethal will progress and the next sidequest you do will coinside with the previous one.

    This game is a lot of fun and I ended up beating it in all within a day because I was having so much fun. Even when the game faked out the ending, (which is something I'm generally not a fan of) I was ready to continue Corvo's story and continue to be the badass assassin he was.

    My only big problem with this game was certain endings not really seeming that satisfying, and the actual ending feeling rushed. In the end, it's not anything huge, but it is certainly noticeable.

    Either way, this is a must play for people who love stealth games.

    The game is currently one of the best in the genre of stealth and immersive sim, second only to the Disonored 2. Only in Disonored 2 the plot becomes noticeably weaker. After completing the main game, you must definitely play The Knife of Dunwall expansion, which is an excellent ending to the main campaign.

    I have played Dishonored ever since the Xbox360 was out. It is and will always be my favorite game. Dishonored 2 is very well done and has great details. In conclusion Dishonored 1 and 2 and all the other Dishonored games are very well done and I recommend getting the game/games. BUT if you are a picky person and hate glitches from time to time and will throw a fit about it then don't get the game

    The story itself was very predictable but the gameplay was fun, It's weird but I felt like a very competent hero thanks to the skills, the weapon upgrades were well balanced and useful.

    The game takes place in an alternate universe, presented in the form of a European city of about the 18th century, made in the steampunk style. The city is going through an era of totalitarianism – while the elite is fattening and reveling in power, citizens are dying on the streets from a disease known as the Rat Plague.

The city is going through an era of totalitarianism – while the elite is fattening and reveling in power, citizens are dying on the streets from a disease known as the Rat Plague.

    The player acts as an imperial bodyguard named Corvo, who arrives from a long journey with a message. And just at this moment, assassins appear out of nowhere, deal with the Empress and kidnap her daughter. Corvo is blamed for everything, and our protagonist ends up behind bars, From here we begin our journey to revenge.

    At the first level, we get acquainted with the local combat system and stealth mechanics. The combat system leaves behind only positive emotions, even if it is uncomplicated in itself – but it looks very spectacular. But it is not necessary to engage in battle with enemies to achieve the goal of the mission – you can always resort to stealth. Stealth is really interesting here – of course, first of all, it is a great merit of competent design and construction of locations. There are always several ways and various loopholes to, for example, get into the right building. The main character is excellent at climbing roofs, and he also has a wonderful ability of instant teleportation over short distances, which opens up a wide range of possibilities.

    And finally, I would like to say about the graphic component of the game: the atmosphere of dystopia is made slightly in a grotesque style, and painted as if with oil paints, with a very attractive world and interesting design finds. During the game, you want to admire this virtual world, and even get the feeling that you are playing the painting of a talented artist.

    The game is worthwhile, so I recommend a mandatory introduction. Let there be a very predictable plot here, but this is compensated by the gameplay and great style.    … Expand

    I'd never played this game before, despite being massively into stealth games; I don't know why I'd waited ten years to give it a go.

    Dishonored is a first person stealth (optional) game set in the city of Dunwall that's suffering from a terrible plague, which can be both a detriment and an advantage to the player.

    The gameplay is what you'd expect from a first person stealth game, shadows, rooftops, quiet assassinations and knock-outs and an array of gadgets to use. I think what sets the game apart a little is the special abilities you get quite early on, I think it's safe to say that the "Blink" ability is probably the most used, allowing you to traverse difficult obstacles with relative ease and set yourself up for completing your objectives.

    The characters in the game are a bit hit and miss, I personally was quite invested in Samuel, Slackjaw, Piero, Emily and Callista, the others who were giving me missions and what not, all seemed a bit one-dimensional and flat. I did what they asked of me but I can't say I massively cared about anything they had to say. Although it is definitely pretty neat seeing how the world and the characters react to your actions mission to mission.

    The best mechanic in this game, in my opinion, is how your actions affect the City of Dunwall, if you decide to go for knock-outs and an non-lethal eliminations of enemies and core targets, the City remains relatively clean. If you go for an all out blood-bath, the plague spreads like wildfire. And the best part is, the choice actually affects the gameplay. The next mission might have more rats/weepers or in contrast, a higher guard presence since they haven't been pushed out of the region. It's genuinely amazing and although the game isn't really "Open World" as it's more mission based, I was pleasantly surprised at how they pulled this off in a more linear game.

    I have a few minor criticisms of the game however, but nothing too bad, just knit-picking if anything depending on how you view it.
    One of the things that annoyed me the most was the "Detection" metre. Throughout my eight or so hours of playing it, I never quite understood how I would be detected with the little lightning bolts, if it's at three am I detected? When it breaks am I detected? Also I find it quite difficult to tell sometimes when you're being spotted and when you're not based on some of the guards behaviour. Not a massive critique but maybe I just missed something.

    Runes and Abilities. I played the game Non-lethal, (Since doing Non-lethal in MGS3: Snake Eater, this is just how I prefer to do things now) and I feel like you're... I don't want to say punished... But maybe put at a disadvantage for playing Non-lethal. Now most people might think that yeah, the trade off is that it's harder, however when it came to Runes and Skills, there's at least 4-5 Abilities that there is absolutely 0 point in taking if you're playing Non-Lethal. Some of them are just straight up. "You can KILL your target like this." I felt it might've been neater if you could have non-lethal versions of the abilities. Although I'm not going to be too harsh on this because I don't see how the "Devour" ability could be non-lethal, but I never got to utilise it and felt like I might've missed out, purely based on my preferred playstyle. By the third or fourth mission in, I had enough runes to do a solid Non-Lethal playthrough without needing to bother collecting anymore at all.

    Overall, I'm very glad I gave this game a try, my criticism is only for little things but the game itself was wonderful to play and I feel like I am a bit more invested in Corvo and the Dishonored universe now as a whole. The stealth was great, the NPC idle chat was interesting, the absolute multitude of options you have to complete your task is phenomenal. I'd recommend this game to anyone who enjoys stealth games who might've missed this since it's release a decade ago. For me it's a solid 7/10, the gameplay just overshadows the story and you won't regret investing the time in it.    … Expand

    Not perfect, but it's still my favorite game of all time. It's too short, but that's not really a major issue. The story is a little generic, but it's well executed. The world is interesting, everything looks good, it's stylish, the sound design is... fine? The AI is braindead, but it doesn't need to be world-class.
    The selling point here is the gameplay. People are going to tell you    Not perfect, but it's still my favorite game of all time. It's too short, but that's not really a major issue.

    Çok iyi bölüm tasarımları, inanılmaz çeşitli bir oynanış ve harika bir atmosfer. Dishonored gerçekten çok iyi bir oyun. Ana hikayenin sunumu konusunda da biraz gayret gösterilmiş olsa tam bir başyapıt olabilirdi.

    We can draw comparisons with other titles all day, but everything is based on something. Dishonored remains a unique gem in a beautiful, yet chaotic world, with flawless gameplay. [December 2012]

    Dishonored rarely challenges the players, but it doesn't take them for fools, either, so that's an achievement compared to other games in the genre. Just don't expect strokes of genius like the Shalebridge Cradle level from Thief: Deadly Shadows.
