As a TL;DR for this review, I absolutely reccomend this game for anyone looking for an alternate art style game that delivers compelling stories with perfectly crafted combat and movement systems.

Dishonored, a game created by Arkane Studios, delves into the world of Corvo Attano, a highly respected assassin who must take back Emily Kaldwin, the kidnapped daughter of Jessamine Kaldwin. Using stealth or outright combat, along with a powers tree that is determined by the player, Corvo must make his way through multiple levels to silence those who oppose him, or to find out information of Emily's whereabouts.

The powers allow the player to choose how they play, they can even play without them. But they supply a whole range of attacks and advantages to Corvo that will shape the game world. For example, killing multiple people will riddle the game world with rats that can attack the player, and harsher enemies. A pacifist style player will see less rats, and a calmer world to deal with. These choices of powers come at a cost.

Throughout the world, players can find runes and bonecharms, the runes will supply the player with powers that they want to use, and the bonecharms offer bonuses such as a certain skill lasting longer, or sneaking quieter. These are just few examples. There is also a currency in the game, to buy equipment and upgrade them. Stealing fancy painting or wallets off of guards without their knowledge is just one way a player can expect to make money.

Dishonored is a game that can be played in so many different ways, and can reward you for doing so. Such as achievements and equipment in the game that tailors itself to a specific playstyle. Anyone new or veteran to a stealthy game like this is easily going to fit in, with just a bit of training with the blade and powers, you'll be the next Corvo Attano.

For my summary, the game is rewarding to a player that likes good play or good story, as the game supplies both at a beautifully high standard. Whilst it may no longer be the best, most cutting edge game or engine out there, it is sure to blow the likes of gamers away with its sheer immersion.
