Dishonored (2012 Video Game)
9/10
Benchmark for stealthy games
1 January 2023
Dishonored is an extremely atmospheric game. It, being an old game, still overcomes modern games simply by its sheer quality. The world is creatively designed both in visuals and in the gameplay. The characters don't feel like soulless puppets and can make you feel engaged with the story.

The overall very smooth gameplay is joyful and satisfying with many abilities and weapons. The most iconic one being the teleporting ability, which is so fun, makes a crucial part to this game's identity. Unfortunately, the gameplay is limited as players, who seek good endings, must play accordingly to the non-lethal standards. This is a huge problem as it makes the experience less fun. I prefer endings to be based on in-game decisions rather than on the gameplay. Counting how much percent people did you kill so you could qualify for a good ending seems honestly like a nonsense to me.

Nevertheless, the game is still a masterpiece that holds up till this day. It brings new standards to stealthy games.
