I was in awe throughout the whole game. The setting, the level design and the stealth mechanics are extremely polished, and they achieve total immersion of the player right from the beginning sequence. But I specially loved the choice system. In Dishonored it truly feels that the morality of your character and his actions have an impact on the world. Not just in how others perceive him or how the city evolves, but also in the level design and the options the player has available.

Not that it's perfect. I admit that the second half of the game might feel a bit like filler, and the overall story is simplistic at most, with twists that were as clear as day. Nevertheless, I can and will gladly forgive its weak aspects, because the overall impression was excellent.

For me, this is what Assassin's Creed Syndicate should have been.
