Dishonored

great stealth, great combat, unique artstyle, cool magic. buy it
(why does it show it as 89 minuts i played it for 5 hours)

I really enjoy this game both in its unique art style and its unique play style. The world is fantastically built and the environments are exquisitely crafted down to the last glass shard and piece of confetti. I'm thrilled that the option not to kill is present; it's a unique and excellent feature of the game's flexibility and message.

This game is a blast for anyone who loves stealthy gameplay. Sneaking around, planning your moves, and pulling off clean getaways never gets old.

There's already a lot of content online talking about this game, you likely already know what you're getting into. Be careful if you're going for 100%, the dunwall city trials are a bitch.

Possibly the greatest game ever made.
While I only have 140 hours compared to the many thousands of hours veteran players have on this game, even 20 hours or less, even just enough to complete the game is enough to enjoy it. No doubt.

Where the game really shines, though, is in its replayability. Three different endings depending on how you play the game, two main different playstyles, and the world reacts to how you play.
There're games like Baldur's Gate 3, like the Elder Scrolls, like the Witcher 3, where you can make decisions. Their decisions don't affect the game as rapidly and as amazingly as Dishonored's. The game doesn't force this down your throat - many a player (including myself) has completely ignored the entire story, the way the game changes, all of that. But being able to just pick up a book and absorb the story if you want to, maybe on your second or third playthrough - that's where Dishonored really shines.
Yes, the graphics are dated. Yes, the gameplay is lacking a few elements where others outperform it. But that's why there's a sequel, which improved upon the original in every way except the story.

I would recommend this game to any enjoyer of Splinter Cell, Thief, or Hitman and any lover of D&D (especially the Eberron setting) and any lover of steampunk artstyles, and finally anyone who hasn't played this game yet.

Play it for the first two hours. Keep going if you like it, or refund it if you don't. You definitely keep it.

Many different ways/paths you can do a mission. Very solid gameplay. Brute forcing with a gun is kinda OP, but I guess on higher difficuties it tapers off.

it was fun... got nothing else played it along time ago and im drunk. so im gonna play agine

It is fun and complex it has amazing kills and not to graphic but it contains blood.

Best game ever. Bummed there probably wont be a third cause the second one is dope too. So is the death of the outsider. I would do crude and raunchy things to a DOG if I could get Dishonored 3.

This game is absolutely phenomenal. Everything from the story, the music, the characters, it's all so fantastic. I adore it!

great atmosphere and gameplay

Game was made in 2012, so on that basis the story line is a dope, graphics are pretty nice and I had an excellent overall experience!

best game ever !!!! it is actually one of my favorite games .....and i am so waiting for the third one even if it doesn't exist......DELULU IS SOLULU T-T

Awesome mechanics, very satisfying, epic world building, total power fantasy stealth boss. Worth the buy.

I was feeling a bit down so I decided to take on this old game that had been sitting on my library for years. Now I feel like a god. The god of death and misery, but hey, it's an improvement, right?

Such an incredible game- I don't think there are enough words i could use to describe it. The world building is insane and each level/ mission shows you something new. There are also so many different ways to play and explore that just one play through isn't enough to extract what the game has to offer. The world changes around you depending on how you play which presents you with a whole new set of challenges.

I cannot recommend this game enough

It's good. Nice world building and a few ways to play the game however you want. The story was decent, nothing amazing. No memorable characters, maybe just one but that's only because he slightly rises above the others, but still not memorable. It's just a plain story, but it is fun to play. You can kinda tell where the story is heading and there's a thing that happens but it doesn't surprise you really. Make sure you save a lot by the way. The only thing I did not like was how the game kinda forces you to play non-lethal and stealthy, but still tells you to play however you'd like. You can, but if you kill too many people (innocent or not) you'll get negative outcomes. I get it, it makes sense in the real world... but that's why I'm playing a video game: to not be like the real world. It really only bothers me because the game gives you so many weapons and gadgets to kill enemies that you're going to end up not using if you want the good ending... and honestly who doesn't want a "good" ending. Plus after each missions there's a check list and one of them is "not killing anyone". So you want me to play stealthy and non-lethal, okay so why even give us the illusion of choice and why not just give me more stealth power ups/skills/upgrades? Why waste space for lethal gadgets? I did end up playing it again and this time killing everything that moved, but since I already knew the story it got old really fast. That's just my opinion though, the game overall is really nice and I would recommend it. You'll get your money's worth.

What a game! Now I can understand why some people were disappointed on Deathloop (which I really enjoyed). This is on another level!

Great wee game still holds up well nowadays imo, good story and can be a nice challenge to 100%

Despite being a highly considered game, I confess that it didn't get to me even though I had fun with the hours I already played... Maybe I'm not interested in it at the moment, but I'll give it a second chance one day. For now, I have other priorities.

Dishonored is great.
I love that you get different endings and gameplay based on how you play (Stealthy vs GUNS OUT). This aspect also appears in the DLC as well.
RAT SWARM GO!!!!

When this game was announced, i hyped for a game after a long while, and when it was released, it satisfied my hype. It's one of the best games i've ever played.

Love the game, art style and lore, i frankly just suck at it.

Played back on the 360 and loved it. Played through it again and it is still great. If you haven't played it, Dishonored deserves a play through.

Very entertaining immersive sim. I struggled a bit with the non-violent playthrough but it was worth it!

I really wish Dishonored 3 will appear someday. I've been playing this game for 13 years and never got bored of it. Its really comforting and nostalgic. The lore is something else too. The graphics are giving some comfy creepy mysterious vibes. Everything about this game had me interested and I still play it like its my first time! Absolutely recommending this game. 10/10.

I played this game during the worst week of my life and I'll admit, running around stabbing people did brighten my mood at the time.

Dishonored opens in shadow. You return to Dunwall not with triumph, but into the heart of a city decaying beneath the weight of power, plague, and betrayal. It’s a place teetering between the grandeur of its imperial past and the creeping horror of its present—a city where industry poisons, class divides fester, and unseen forces manipulate from behind velvet curtains. And yet, you quickly finds their bearings, because this world mirrors our own in eerie ways: a twisted steampunk echo of early industrial Europe, laced with Victorian decadence and occult whispers.

Arkane has given us a haunting, self-contained world of decay, loyalty, and the cost of power. Dishonored holds a mirror up to the player, exposing the weight of vengeance, the erosion of innocence, and the price of choice in a world steeped in corruption. It places us in the silent footsteps of Corvo Attano, a man betrayed, disgraced, and offered unnatural power to right wrongs—or perpetuate them. In the end, Dishonored doesn’t dictate your morality—it lets you sit with it. And in doing so, it becomes more than a game. It becomes a question.

Loved it! I recommend going stealth. It will increase your playtime.

Clearly this is a common belief and therefore not detailed enough to help anyone. Just wanted to throw this review out there because even after all these years, the game is still a gem.

Absolutely love this game. The stealth gameplay is on point and I just find myself coming back to it over and over. Don't need the latest hardware to run it well either, which is nice.

One of the only games not scared to add extremely op abilities like time stop and instant teleportation, now it does completely breaks the game but its fun asf

This game is a lot of fun.

Stealth mechanics are easy to pick up and high difficulty offers a do-able challenge.

Stealth mechanics are completely optional and you don't miss out on anything cool by going in guns blazing.

The DLCs are worth picking up too as they double the content of the base game.

You do have to kiss a child who is later implied to have "watched you make funny faces" in bed.......so there is that.

10/10

If you're into stealth games like I am, Dishonored is seriously a must-play, I’ve always loved the Hitman series (especially the last 3 games and Blood Money being my most fav. ones) but Dishonored might just have the best immersive sim experience I’ve played so far outside of Hitman series.. You can go full stealth, guns blazing, or mix it up.. the game really lets you play your way!

ALSO What makes it stand out is how your choices actually matter, How you deal with enemies ( whether you kill, knock out, hide the bodies, or leave a mess ) all affects the story and how the guards will be careful and especially the ending.. ofc Going as stealthy as possible definitely gives you the best outcome.

TLDR: if you enjoy stealth games or want to get into the genre, Dishonored is a fantastic place to start, Plus, it has great replay value, you’ll definitely want to go through it more than once to try different approaches.

Amazing game play, engaging story, beautiful environments. Only downside was not fully understanding the chaos rating. Would highly recommend.

An older game, but still a great game. So many different ways to play. The stealthy assassin or full blown mass murderer. Your choice. Cool gadgets and neat powers to help with missions. Wish there was a Mission+ feature like with the other games so you can bring your powers and upgrades. But still a great game, one of my all time favorites.

Super fun Stealth game. Sneaking the protaganist around the areas was always challenging and set me on a fun edge. I jump more than once whenever his stealth failed and was discovered by an enemy. lol

amazing stealth game and love the art style still looks and aged great if you like stealth games definitely a must buy

An absolutely gorgeous game that stands the test of time. Decisions you make feel important, and do influence the world around you. It's a well paced, action filled game that I can't recommend enough.

In a World where most new games disappoint, I decided to play an old classic that I've never watched or was really Interested in at all. Playing this game made me feel all giddy and it brought back the feeling I got the first time I played Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. Oh, how far have most studios fallen.
The game aged really well, even now 13 Years after release (at the time of typing my review) I can wholeheartedly recommend the game, I got it at a discount and after finishing the game I feel like I robbed Arkane and Bethesda.
If you're ever bored and don't know what to play I recommend picking this one up and trying it, even if you have watched the gameplay already, because you will go on a path only you can really choose.

Absolute masterpiece of a game that still holds up to this day, Incredible story, characters, setting and game play with so many options on how to complete the mission granting so much replayability. Definitely recommend runs perfectly on modern systems 10/10

I have beat every game in this series and love the art, characters, story - the way the stealth and problem solving is presented - if you like fun, puzzley adventure games - this is a good time! The way the magic in the world works is great too! Love this series!

The story is engaging, the game play is interesting and smooth, and I've played it 5 or 6 times now.

I still can't believe this game is 12 years old, as it holds up amazingly well in terms of gameplay and visuals. The choice in scenery and aesthetics is something which I think is uniquely Dishonored.

The good:
- Visuals and atmosphere are both amazing. Made even more impressive by the age of the game
- Smooth gameplay in high action scenes
- Play how you want to achieve the objective. I can choose to come in guns blazing and kill everyone on the map, or sneak past everyone, then make the target disappear, completing a mission with no blood on your hands
- Interesting characters
- One of the most bug free experiences I've had in a 3D game in a long timee

The bad:
- Storyline was a bit predictable, nothing wrong with that however it's a bit overplayed at this point
- I felt like my choices didn't make much of a difference to the gameplay outside of some very minor changes that I rarely noticed, plus a different achievement

Regardless, this is a great game to play at least once, if not multiple times to see different outcomes

13 years on and this game looks and plays great. I recently upgraded my monitor to Ultra-wide QHD OLED. The subtle grays of Dishonored look drabber and derriere then ever. And the game supports higher resolutions natively. On a SSD, unlike some older games, Dishonored loads very quickly. Worth replaying again and again.

Extremely good, must play for anyone who enjoys stealth and a wide variety of choices/endings.

Games like this aren't made anymore. An absolutely timeless art style, smooth as butter immersive sim gameplay, a gripping story, and fantastic audio design really come together to create one of the best games I've ever played. 9.5/10.

This game surprised me after being spoiled by the original Thief 1 and 2. Dishonored was a fantastic experience and well worth it. Lots of powers and paths to choose from to complete each mission. The story was excellent as well with lots of twists and turns. Looking forward to Dishonored 2!

After more than a decade, I finally purchased Dishonored and completed it. The journey and gameplay experience were truly amazing—unlike anything I’ve experienced before. I highly recommend it!"

An impressively deep sandbox, watching style runs of this game is fun as hell.

This was a fun game. I like how each mission has multiple paths to success to allow for different play styles. The game is kind of like a mix of Assassin's Creed and Bioshock.
