I usually like just sneaking thorough undetected and killing the guy at the end. Makes you feel pretty cool just slipping in and slipping out with nobody having an idea you were ever there...

it was really good and fun

the storyline isn't great and there are a couple of missteps in level design here and there but they nail every other part of the game

the dlc is good and worth the buy too

It had really good level design for a modern game, but it didn't really matter unless you actually care about exploration since proper use of powers trivialized everything.

A cool way to play actually! True facts I didn't even know one mission had an extended map until I did my high chaos run
The lord overseer level. It was simple enough to do the non lethal or stab him in his bedroom that I had no idea there was a whole different part to the level

It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it, but I think it's funny that you only get a good ending if you play it the most not fun way possible

Yeah the Duad DLC is great and actually ups the challenge from the main game.

I liked Dishonored, OP. Pick up the DLC- it's better level design than the base game I think.

i played through the whole thing and it was okay, just very "AAA"-esque sort of taste where it felt like being stuck in a theme park and given a box of tools to defeat a confused horde of adhd riddled toddlers.

That's cool that they made a DLC, and that it is apparently good. What's it about? You basically did everything in the regular game.

Stopping time, grabbing bullets out of mid air, and shooting 3 shots into a dudes face before resuming time never stops being cool and fun

Slow down time, throw a grenade, run to the other side of the room, throw a grenade at that other grenade, the grenades bounce off each other and explode. I found that immensely satisfying to do in packed rooms.

I bought this on sale ages ago and never played it. Should I give it a go? I remember being very hyped about the setting before the release.

One of the visual designers also worked on HL2 iirc

e: yeah the visual design director for dishonored was the guy who designed city 17 and most of the combine stuff

Dishonored pretty much has the best first-person movement and jumping mechanics of all time. Also helps that it runs super smooth on even modest systems.

Honestly any game where you can stop time and it uses JoJo time stopping mechanics gets a 10/10 from me. If you can't do that in the Dishonored sequel (if it ever happens) I shan't be playing it.
