This might be a superb game– bordering on perfect– but there were elements in my playthrough that marred the experience.
The apocalyptic tone of Dishonored story encouraged me to play villainous eschewing my normal RPG playstyle of a very moral character. I killed so many people, folks, often pointlessly and brutally. There was a lack of grace and a stupidity to my methology so maybe that’s why some mechanics felt so empty? It made the game not as infectious as I would hope. That and the fact I took a multi-month break in the middle of my playthrough.
I can imagine a replay would shine this game brighter, which I am planning down the road. The visuals hold up very well and the world is so immersive. The game length is about just right. So will I adore this game down the road? We’ll see. I think this game is fairly great– maybe I’ll see it for the masterpiece it’s known to be?
