    Fans of the series won't gain much from this iteration, but for those who haven't played Dishonored before, the Definitive Edition is a great game that's worth checking out.

    Dishonored still is an outstanding adventure, but this edition doesn't make the most of the new hardware. If you missed it, it's an interesting option; if you didn't, there's little reason to play this version.

    Looking at Dishonored today, there are elements of the design that haven’t aged gracefully, such as the tendency for mission design to be compartmentalised and the somewhat quirky controls, but the gameplay is still a liberating experience, as it’s grounded in player choice.

    It may not be as sprawling as The Phantom Pain, but this is one of Xbox 360's greatest sneakathons and plays as well as it ever did. If you didn't buy it before, reach for your wallet immediately.

    Dishonored: Definitive Edition is a lazy port of a great game.

    It's clearly a rushed job, that is in many ways inferior to the PC version and it's locked on 30 frames per second. Still, it contains a great stealth-action game with all the DLC, and the technical problems are mostly negligible. If you never played the original this is still a pretty good deal.

    More a direct port than a proper remaster, Dishonored: Definitive Edition adds very little to the original experience both in terms of contents and visual quality; it's therefore only recommended to those who never played the original game.

    We can’t say anything bad about the beauty of Dishonored, but for this current-gen version we would have expected a better graphical treatment.

    You'll like Dishonored Definitive Edition if you didn't play the original. It contains all the DLC and its story and mechanics are outstanding. But if you played Dishonored in 2012, you could end up disappointed.

    Although it's not a perfect port of one of last-gen's best games, Dishonored: Definitive Edition offers a lot of content for a budget-friendly price.

    Dishonored Definitive Edition is the perfect example of how much the current generation is milking the market. The technical jump isn't that great, and the PC version is both visually better and cheaper than this one. Just buy that, and enjoy a still awesome experience.

    It's a rushed conversion work, with a lock on the frame rate, and a couple of graphics adjustments. Not enough to call it a full remaster, and that's a real shame.

    The textures are slightly touched up and some textures that were super blurry are made much better. There are added special effects like dynamic reflections in some parts that look superior to the rough pre-drawn reflections in the original version. There is bump mapping added to walls and ground. Overall great purchase for those who didn't get to play it the first time.

You have freedom of choice, special skills to help you play as you see it convenient. Nice morality system, not forcing to be good or evil. Interesting plot, diversified missions, charismatic main character, not bad voice acting. Difficulty level is just fine, you won't be bored with this game. Pleasant fight, exploration, intuitive control over character. Nice system of character development, including skills, equipment, runes and improvements.

    For minuses I should point medium-quality graphics and music, and irritating ghost system (not possible to tell if you were seen till the end of the mission).    … Full Review »
