Short version:
Initially unimpressed with Dishonored years ago, the recent frustration with a sketchy stealth system in another game led me back. Now, I'm in awe:
-Exceptional detail and character design
-Versatile powers for various playstyles
-Strong incentive for stealth play
-Engaging story with informative in-game lore
-Rewarding upgrades
-Timeless style; a must-try for stealth enthusiasts.
Long version:
Wow... just wow...
I had played Dishonored years ago on my Xbox 360. Back then I wasn't a patient gamer nor did I like losing, getting caught by enemies when in stealth or not being "cool" when trying to do certain actions. I had finished the game in a short time and put it aside, not very impressed and actually a little annoyed. Then this year I decided to play Assassin's Creed Mirage....
I won't talk about the latter here, but the game's sketchy (to use a nice word and not a bad one) stealth system made me say 'I feel like playing a game where playing stealth is really well done'. And so I went back to Dishonored: Definitive Edition with the Xbox Game Pass.
The game is incredible:
-the level of detail, the design of everything, especially the characters in the game (from the guard to the targets)
-Powers that allow you to play the game any way you like
-A clear and defined incentive to play stealth, which I appreciate incredibly
-The story, the books left around explaining in detail the world we are living in
-Upgrades that have to be obtained, a way to feel rewarded for doing so
The game hasn't aged a second because of the style chosen, I recommend it to anyone who craves a stealth challenge that makes you feel rewarded for studying the level thoroughly!
