I had played Dishonored 2 about a year after it was first released, and it was a lot of fun. I love stealth games and I really liked the take it had on the genre. So a couple months ago when I saw the first one had a steam sale I decided to pull the trigger and I’m glad I did. Man, this game is good! I’ve played through it twice now, and I just started the Knife of Dunwall DLC. I’m really enjoying the unique art style, and I think I prefer the general feel to that of the second game.

If you haven’t given this one a shot yet I’d highly recommend it. It still looks incredible and it feels super smooth to play.

    I started that game recently. Then got distracted. Then Zelda came out. I really need to go back and get in to it

      Do it! It’s a ton of fun. I’ve only been doing ghost so far but I want to do a high chaos run soon too

    I really loved the athmosphere and the worldbuilding in that game. And the tunes some some NPCs whistled realy stuck with you for a while :)

      Absolutely! The whole game really pulls you into its world unlike many games I’ve played before. There’s very few times I’ve felt so immersed into a video game world like with Dishonored

    I had Dishonored on my backburner for so long. Picked it up in a sale and was just never in the mood for something which I thought was dark and depressing.

    It turned out to be dark but interesting instead of depressing! I enjoyed the world, the atmosphere, and the stealth a lot. Even the „no alarms“ challenge run was a blast; I think it‘s called Ghost.

    The challenge DLC soured me a bit, Idk what they were thinking there, but the story DLCs were decent too.

    Now I have Dishonored 2 and Deathloop lying around lol

      I’m just finishing up the first story dlc now (Knife of Dunwall) and it’s fun but a lot harder. It’s cool getting to play Duad though

      You should really play Dishonored 2! I had a fun time with it, though I still haven’t finished it yet, that’ll come after I’m done with all the Dishonored 1 story dlc

        It‘s definitely on my list but I try to stick to a few games at a time so I don‘t get lost in the sauce like with Let‘s Build A Zoo where I straightup can‘t remember how anything works anymore lol

        Right now I‘m absorbed in Slay the Spire which has never clicked before but suddenly it has!

          Yeah I get that. When Sekiro finally clicked for me a few months ago I didn’t even think about another game for a long while. I got 100% in the game and then proceeded to do a challenge run all before I touched another video game

            To this day I can‘t tell if I love or hate Sekiro. Probably both. Spoiler free, the Shura (?) ending final boss made me want to throw my controller with their „the floor is lava“ attack, and Guardian Ape was… let‘s say I googled for cheese strats.

            I think I would‘ve enjoyed it more if I had put it aside for a while, but I got stubborn. All in all, I‘d do it again.

              It’s probably the most well-made game I’ve ever played. Guardian Ape is probably my favourite boss too, funnily enough. I guess I just love pain and punishment. The hardest part about getting 100% was grinding for all skills, that was rough.

                That was last for me. I vaguely remember using a shrine in a snowy atea with 3 or so guards near it you could backstab kill over and over and over again to grind for it. Games love to have that one annoying achievement. Hope you gave Nioh and Nioh 2 a shot also! Code Vein isn‘t as good IMO but servicable. Dunno how to do the final boss there without co-op, but I don‘t have to lol

    I love both Dishonored and Dishonored 2. Both are great games. I love the stories and the gameplay. Shit is just good.

    The level designs are still some of the most impressive still! There are so many ways to approach the mission, I can’t even imagine how they begin to design that. I love the Dishonored series so much.

    It’s sad that arkane has dropped the ball since prey and prey mooncrash. Well maybe more than just dropping the ball with how mediocre and bad redfall is. Dishonored is basically a game of the decade and somehow prey was even better.
