This game has great stealth and combat mechanics, good world building, and fun gameplay. Even though the story is short, the level design allows for lots of replayability. The missions and environments are diverse enough so that it feels fresh.

I really enjoyed Dishonored, mostly for its gameplay. The main story was decent—not bad, just not all that engaging. It did the job, but I wasn’t super invested in Corvo or the plot.
What kept me hooked was the gameplay. The freedom to approach missions however you want—stealthy, violent, or somewhere in between—was awesome. Powers like Blink and Possession made getting around and solving problems feel really satisfying. The level design was also top-notch.
Visually, it’s fine. The stylized look works, but nothing that really blew me away.
Where the game really shines is in the DLCs, especially Daud’s story in The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches. Honestly, I found Daud way more interesting than Corvo. His arc had way more depth, and the writing and voice acting made him feel much more human. The DLC levels were just as good—sometimes even better—than the main game’s.
Overall, Dishonored is a great stealth game. The base story is okay, but the gameplay is excellent, and the DLCs take it to the next level.

A very good take on the immersive sim genre with a focus on stealth and infiltration. The game has a lot of clever moments where you can figure special paths and ways to complete a mission in unorthodox ways - but the way of just taking a life is still as valid. Now, the game does reward a more "Good-karma" aligned playthrough, but realistically, even in my own playthrough, where I've killed a few people I just did not care for, I got the best possible ending.
There's a lot of tools and ways to approach every situation, and the narrative, while predictable, is perfectly serviceable to give you motivation from start to finish.

at first i didn't like this game cuz i thought the theme was weird. i finally sat down and actually played the game and gave it a chance and it really surprised me. i wasn't into stealth games when i bought it but now that i've played a few i'm more into the theme of the game. very good story, very good graphics for how old it is and the gameplay is amazing. you really feel like a ninja assassin when you play as Corvo and the story really pulls you in. i give it five stars

Dishonored, released in 2012, isn't just a stealth-action game; it's a meticulously crafted world brimming with atmosphere, intrigue, and player agency. Set in the plague-ridden city of Dunwall, you play as Corvo Attano, a wrongly accused royal protector seeking revenge and justice. The game's core mechanic revolves around player choice. You're given considerable freedom in how you approach each mission, fostering replayability and encouraging experimentation.
Strengths:
Immersive World: Dunwall is a marvel of environmental storytelling. Its grimy streets, opulent mansions, and hidden alleyways are richly detailed, creating a truly believable and engaging world. The art style is unique and memorable.
Meaningful Choices: The game's emphasis on player choice is its greatest strength. Whether you prefer a stealthy approach, utilizing supernatural powers and gadgets to eliminate enemies silently, or opting for a more direct, action-oriented style, the game adapts to your playstyle. These choices influence not only the immediate gameplay but also the game's narrative and ending, offering multiple paths to success.
Supernatural Powers: Corvo's supernatural abilities are incredibly fun and versatile. From bending time to possessing rats, these powers add a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay, making each encounter a puzzle to solve.
Engaging Story: The narrative is gripping, filled with political intrigue, betrayal, and moral ambiguity. The characters are well-developed and memorable, each with their own motivations and secrets.
Weaknesses:
Combat Can Be Challenging: While stealth is encouraged, direct combat can be quite difficult, especially on higher difficulty settings. The enemy AI isn't always perfect, but it can still pose a significant challenge.
Linear Level Design (In Places): While the game offers freedom of choice, the level design itself is sometimes linear, restricting the player's movement in certain areas.
Overall:
Dishonored is a truly remarkable game. Its immersive world, meaningful choices, supernatural powers, and engaging story combine to create a unique and unforgettable experience. While the combat can be challenging and the level design occasionally linear, these shortcomings are easily overshadowed by the game's many strengths. It's a must-play for fans of stealth-action games and anyone who appreciates a game that truly rewards player agency. I give it a 9/10.
