Dishonored

Literally one of the most fantastic open world-ish games that i've played. As shown by my hours lol. The lore and the freedom of the player are both so fantastic and the graphics still hold up for the most part because they are so stylized.

Fantastic level and sound design. Graphics hang on well.

Jogo de stealth que permite vários estilos de gameplay e várias estratégias pra avançar no jogo. Suas decisões e seu nível de agressividade irão ter impacto no enredo da gameplay, isso é muito f**a.
É um jogo bem metódico, os cenários tem que ser estudados com calma.
Vale a pena procurar pelos colecionáveis nos mapas pq eles te deixam mais forte.

Dificuldade: É fácil mas vc pode escolher uma gameplay mais desafiadora.

Jogabilidade excelente - bons gráficos, física de movimentação satisfatória e excelente gameplay
Enredo imersivo: A história tem um plot simples mas envolvente, e não te prende muito em diálogos. Tem diversos jornais e notas ao redor da fase dando dicas e falando sobre a lore.

Muito recomendado. Esse jogo é marcante, muito bem feito, história muito criativa, gameplay excelente. A parte sonora também é muito boa. Acho que já deu pra entender q esse jogo é p1k4, compre e zere.

This game is pretty awesome. I enjoyed playing it, but also have some thoughts. This game heavily encourages stealth and nonlethal options, but most of the tools and perks you get will only be helpful if you're fighting your way through missions. It does let you play how you want but it really seems like you're supposed to be as clean and quiet as possible, making me wonder why abilities and gadgets are mostly loud and lethal. I went into this game with zero prior knowledge, so maybe big fans of the series think that's a silly complaint. The stealth (something that I'm not the best at but not horrible either) is good but can often catch you by surprise with enemies moving in unnatural patterns and catching you, or certain abilities/game elements not working quite the way you think, compromising your stealth. But when it works (which is often) it WORKS. It feels so cool to be this sneaky shadow, taking down tons of enemies in every level. Once I got more used to the controls and powers it was so satisfying to do more daring takedowns and clear areas faster or bypass them entirely with some quick thinking. This game absolutely rewards you for investing in it, taking your time and piecing the story together. One of the greatest strengths of this game is gathering information organically and in real time. Overhearing conversations, finding maps, journals, evidence, etc. can provide you with alternate routes and sometimes even alternate victory conditions for certain missions. Like I said, I think this is one of the best things this game does, and does better than even a lot of games that are being released today.

The DLC campaigns were great, with the Brigmore Witches being my favorite. The Knife of Dunwall was also good but I particularly thought Brigmore was more unique and felt special compared to everything else in the base game and other DLCs.

If you like stealth games, games with rich story and lore, or just think it looks interesting, I would recommend playing it. Despite the few things I said against the game, the flaws really pale in comparison to how great of a game this is.

A timeless banger with top tier gameplay that was way ahead of its time. Nuff said.

You should also at least play The Knife of Dunwall and the Brigmore Witches DLC for the full story experience. Together they are about as long as the base game, just as fun and will make you appreciate the base game even more. They individually cost as much as a bar of chocolate...

With those DLC you will have just doubled your enjoyment of this great game.

Fantastic atmosphere, interesting story, & abilities that allow fun interaction with the world. Dishonored is exceptionally well done, & a great entry point for those new to IMSIMs. Play the DLC too!

Dark and dreary, this stealth/assassination game provides an excellent story-driven experience in a world rife with rampant whaling, dark magic, and plague rats. Government corruption and power struggles are the soup du jour here, but rather than force you to sit through the ins and outs of political banter, the meat of the story experience hinges on you interrogating your role as the silent protagonist assassin. Should be killing your targets or dealing with them in non-lethal ways? Can you even manage that? Why even bother? It's poignant stuff if you take the time to invest your thoughts in it.

Gameplay-wise, movement and combat feel pretty good overall, and the game often gives you sprawling environments with lots of shadows to hide in so you can plan your stealthy actions accordingly. Just don't be surprised when your plans abruptly backfire due to being spotted by awkward enemy behavior or an unforeseen level hazard. There's no real punishment for being a sloppy assassin, and the end-of-mission report on your "chaos level" provides a good incentive to replay the game again in the future.

All in all, solid game, definitely worth a second run in the future!

P.S. Rest in peace, art director Viktor Antonov. You did incredible work in this game, and you were taken from this world too soon.

buen juego, entretenido y con buena historia y ambientación, si te da el dinero y quieres algo bueno a lo que jugar, lo recomiendo

Rest in peace Viktor Antonov. I finished this game 3 times because of this world that immerses you so well. Even today I was surprised by how well the graphics have held up. Being from a ex-soviet country, I think he understood best what oppressive architecture is. I fear we will soon forget the lessons that he understood. The worlds he crafted really were like none other.

One of the most fun games I know, better than it's sequels even. The world is rich and the gameplay is exciting.

7/10;
-Compelling game concept with strong influences from the Thief franchise.
-Minimal technical issues and good controller support.
-Fun game play with a great sense of verticality and wide variety in choices impacting narrative.
-One of the few games that has a "good" interpretation of the Steampunk aesthetic.

I would recommend this game on sale at 50% or greater.

RIP Viktor Antonov... Your work made us discover the beauty of Dunwall which still remains one of my favorite places in a video game.

Thanks for everything.

Fantastic! I played this game for the first time in 2025. Some might say the graphics are a bit outdated, but I would just say it has its own style. It's still visually stunning in its own way. This game has everything a great game needs - a great story, fantastic gameplay with multiple options, atmospheric graphics and sounds, top-tier voice acting, replayability, and more. Plus, it's fully supported by Steam Deck! Jumping right into D2 now!

Here it is folks, the greatest game I have ever played. Loved this game so much, it is my #1 fav game of all time. Amazing style game, steampunk feeling, great atmosphere. It is awesome.

Good game. Not as amazing as some people make it out to be, but good nonetheless

This spiritual tribute to the Thief series is crafted with overwhelming love and care, but its unique setting and dark atmosphere are what keep me coming back again and again.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dishonored. The semi-stylized, almost painterly art style perfectly complements the atmosphere of Dunwall, giving the game a unique identity that has aged remarkably well.

One of the things I appreciated most was how the mechanics are introduced gradually, ensuring you don’t feel overwhelmed right from the start. The game does an excellent job of easing players into its systems, making it accessible without sacrificing depth.

The game offers a high level of replayability. Each mission presents multiple ways to approach objectives, allowing for creative and varied playthroughs. Whether you prefer a non-lethal, ghost-like approach or causing chaos with an arsenal of supernatural abilities, the game gives you the freedom to experiment in ways that feel rewarding and dynamic.

If you're a fan of stealth-focused games, this is a must-play.

Great replayability. Great play options. Great game.

A great stealth game. Replayed multiple times to get different endings.

It doesn't have to be a stealth game though. The game doesn't force you to play stealth. You can just go in fighting everyone if that's your preference.

There isn't a lot to be said about this game. Sometimes it knocks you to your knees, Sometimes it makes you feel like your actually an assassin in the real world. I don't usually write reviews for games but this game should be termed as a masterpiece for its incredible story telling and its honest enjoyability. This is what modern games should be like and for that I applaud you, Arkane Studios. It really was a great game.

Amazing game 10/10
Great game, perfect mix between the Skyrim stealth archer and the Team Fortress 2 spy gameplay.

First game I've played of its genre. Easy to start and immersive gameplay system. Quite impressed with its multiple-playstyle system.

TLDR: One of the best games from the last decade, probably the best in the stealth/immersive sim genre.

I've been playing this game again this past few days trying to get the 100% in my Steam and I must say it has been a good time.

Dishonored is probably one of the best stealth/immersive sim to come in the last decade, the level design is state of the art even 10 years after, every place you have a ton of ways to get in, by a backdoor into the building, coming from the balcony by a pole from the street, a secret way discovered by a NPC tip, possessing a rat or a guard and pass through everyone without raising and suspicion or simply breaking trough the front door killing everyone in your way.

The art direction did well for the game, even being old at this point it's very pretty and it's world reminiscing of the Steampunk style (even if it's technology is powered by oil whale and not steam) with a dark tone and a esoteric themes is intriguing and well thought.

The history of the game is nothing innovative but still is well executed, the characters all are very unique and have cool dialogues even the guards and gang members talking in the levels and seeing the world change around with the path you choose with the chaos system makes it very cool to replay the game some times, with a lot of books, notes, audios and other things that amplify the worldbuilding it is very pleasant to pay attention to these notes and the characters dialogue.

And for last but not least the combat and stealth, the stealth mode it is pretty simple, you can deliver a fatal blow that instant kill enemies, kill then from a jumping attack and choke then for a non-lethal approach. In your inventory you have your sword, a gun, a crossbow with various types of ammunition's and some crazy weapons from this world like a wire trap that slash the enemies and kill them instantly. And after all of this you have your superpowers given by the outsider like the classic Blink, Bend Time, Rat Swarm make great additions to your kit to fight the enemies in very cool ways.

Dishonored is one of the first games I've really immersed myself into the story. From the continuity of the world-building to the small little secrets only a handful of players bother to sniff out, you can really tell the developers and writers poured their hearts into the game.

May contain minor spoilers below

Story-telling, Atmosphere, and Replayability.
The game starts in the city of Dunwall where a pandemic is rampant and witchcraft lurks in the shadows, both feared by those witnessing, and dismissed by the skeptics, this is where your choices influence the outcome of the world. With blood on your hands, the pandemic worsens and you start to notice the subtle shifts of your surroundings like the city's decay, your allies behaviors, and the environmental well-being of Dunwall's inhabitants. While keeping your hands clean would pave way for a more hopeful outcome.
Of course, the best aspect about the game's story-telling is that it lets the player realize and see for themselves the consequences of what they chose to do, rather than explicitly presenting the changes and hand-holding the player experience. While the changes unfold subtly throughout the journey, the ending lays bare how horrible, (or virtuous) of a person you are.
This adds to the game's replayability since most players would miss the small, subtle details in their first playthrough. And there's also achievements for the completionists, and two endings for those who wonder just how much weight their choices truly bear.

Gameplay and Mechanics
As someone who leans more into the casual gamer side, I'd say the controls and the amount of control you're given is intuitive. Though there are some game mechanics that makes it feels a little sluggish at times, but that could also just be myself being bad at the game.
As much as I love the magic system, I found some flaws with it. To unlock and upgrade more advanced magics you'd need to collect items as per usual for any other games but for Dishonored, the items needed to collect are hidden away, needing time and meticulous searching to obtain every single one. And as most players could carry on without it, they leave it behind, resulting in them not experiencing the magic system to the fullest by the end of the game. You could argue that the items are always hinted at but even then, you'd need time, and not everyone is going to invest a few more hours just to experience a bit more of the game that's cool but ultimately not important.

To sum it up, I highly recommend it! I can't really compare it to other stealth games due to this one being my very first, but I really love it that I kept coming back throughout the years to play again. And a lot of the times I discovered new secrets, easter eggs, and short interactions between NPCs that I didn't catch even with 80+ hours into it.

This is the first time I wrote a review with actual effort I hope you find it helpful enough!

It's simply a great game. A masterpiece if you will. The world building, atmosphere, and combat is very nice. Replay-ability is there, and it's very rewarding if you get good. Overall a good game, and I highly recommend

Excellent game, a gem.
Played it on release, and played it again about 6 months ago.

If you like stealth games, this is a must.

This is a criminally underrated game. Bethesda Softworks outdid themselves with this one. To this day their level design is second to none. 10/10.

It's game I've played since 2015, it's a fantastic game and always will be

Extremely good gameplay. And also very replayable.

Not just a mindless FPS and more reminiscent of classic games like Deus Ex. Without giving anything away, the world is well developed, the game progresses and takes you to differing outcomes based on how you play (Ruthless or merciful). Although the game is very good and worth playing, the characters and relationships with them could have been developed further. However within the contained story, it works and works really well. Powers and gadgets could also be expanded more but they are still fun nonetheless.

One of my favourite games of all time, the only other stealth game that's better than this is it's sequel. An absolute masterpiece of a game that I have played through countless times.

Both story DLC's are very good, just a shame Dunwall Trials destroys the mental health of any completionist that doesn't enjoy ripping their hair out over RNG bs.

Love this game and have since it first came out, however some achievements are broken such as the clean hands.

I had been putting off this game for so long but I can finally see why everyone liked this game. It took me a couple missions to get into it as I'm not typically into stealth games and definitely did not stealth early on. Then I decided to go the rest of the game without being detected or killing anyone. Man did the game really suck me into it at that point.

The story was pretty great and I really did love seeing some of the characters develop as the plot gets crazier. I didn't really care too much about the equipment as I only really used the sleeping darts but the abilities really make this game into something else. I also beat both of the Dunwall and Witches DLC's and if you are reading this now. Do yourself a favor and get those on a sale as well. Was nice to see another characters story and the missions along with extra skills/equipment made it feel a bit fresh compared to the main game. Highly recommend playing this game if you haven't already.

100 Backlog Games of 2025 Challenge : 8/100

Good story, interesting mechanics, multiple ways to play through the game, and is a unique take on the Assassin genre. This wasn't my usual type of game when it came out, but I'm glad to have given it a chance.

I loved it, This was a gem I negletced because it was stealth focused. That's what I first thought, but you can do, and go where ever you want. Roofs don't slide you off and spiked fences do their job. You can spy and learn little details, and even choose between being a murderer or a saint through the whole game. Weirdly enough tho you can try as many route, plan and options since the very maps have so many option. I loved story, mechanics, and experience. When you get the time sit through it, you wont regret it.

can't believe microsoft choose redfall over dishonored 3 a unique immersive sim that's incredibly atmospheric and fun

pros:
1.the gameplay is timeless and is extremely fun and enjoyable, its complex but at the same time straight forward to understand
2. the world is immersive with its dark and gritty atmosphere that is perfect for the time
3. the art style is something everyone can agree is the best thing about dishonored, 13 years on and the game still looks beautiful
4. level design, the game has some of the best levels and mission designs, that still holds up to this day, there is not 1 way u can do a mission it offers loads of alternate ways to take out a target aswell
5. the unique powers are super fun and innovative and enhances the player's experience

cons:
1. The game punishes you story wise if u follow the chaotic playstyle, which is sad cause chaotic is probably the most fun and satisfying way to play the game, although i still liked the story the perfect version is only given to the passive playstyle

2. stealth traversal can be frustrating for certain missions as if even 1 person catches you then you get caught everyone comes after you(which i despise in stealth games) and the hand to hand combat is not the best if u haven't upgraded

3. too much reading, although i don't hate reading in games the amount of stuff the game throws at you to read is overwhelming at times, there are some good stuff about world building and characters but it should have been cut down a bit

4 wish the mana was not soo scarce as it can force u too limit ur power usage, this can be solved by using a mod that makes ur mana regenerate, this was a huge game changer for me and helped me actually experiment with the powers and have fun

overall a very unique and must play for stealth and immersive sim lovers!!

This game just works, it actually does!
Thank you Arkane Studios, not you Bethesda.

This game is so good ive played it 856 times and counting. And if you use nexus mods with it you can get some really cool mods with it to make it even better.

Dishonored is one of the greatest assassin/stealth game in the gaming industry. Although the game was published in 2012, it is still worth playing and better than the most "modern" games. It has a linear storyline but has different approach styles. You can determine the way you play; observe the area, use your mind to choose the best option that you think is the best. Your actions have different consequences; killing everyone and everything will increase the "Chaos". The chaos determines the ending, monster count and the reactions from NPCs. The graphics are timeless classic, you can relax anytime by looking at the view of Dunwall, the industrial city with Steam-punk atmosphere.

a truly timeless game and one which actually makes good completely on the promise it sets forth to fulfill: play it your way. the stealth mechanics are fantastic, and after mastering the movement, pace, and enemies via stealth its like a whole new game is unlocked. high-chaos (aka, action mode) is how I tend to play the game when I dip back in and its just so satisfying.

dishonored is the rare franchise that simply doesnt miss. 1, 2, all the DLC's, and Death of The Outsider are all fantastic, quintessential gaming experiences and they have all aged like fine wine, particularly dishonored 2012. its a shock to me to realize how rigid and unfun games coming out today are when the art form was literally mastered over a decade ago with this game.

Still holds up, still fantastic.

Fantastic world building and lore, and so many different viable approaches that it's incredibly replayable.

After playing *Dishonored 2* and *Death of the Outsider*, I can confidently say this is the best game in the entire franchise. The story finally clicked for me, and I now fully understand and appreciate its depth. The extra DLC just adds to the perfection of the experience. It's such an underrated gem—definitely one of the best games I've played in a long time. The way everything comes together is breathtaking, and I’d love to make an edit of it, especially with all the fireworks moments and cinematics. Truly beautiful.

For beginner, the storylines quite nice. If I suggest you to play the DLC to understands the whole Dishonored Series

very fun but i found some parts quite hard but its so worth it i running around killing guys with powers and guns is fun simple as that but when you throw in the power to summon rat buddies THAT is what makes a good game 8/10

Dishonored is a first-person stealth action game that blends supernatural abilities, immersive sim elements, & a unique art style in a steampunk-inspired world. You play as Corvo Attano, a former bodyguard framed for the Empress's murder, who becomes an assassin seeking revenge & redemption. It's a game that offers players a high degree of freedom in how they approach each mission, encouraging creativity & experimentation.

The city of Dunwall is a standout setting, with its distinctive architecture, oppressive atmosphere, & rich lore. Exploring its streets, rooftops, & interiors is a key part of the experience. The art style, inspired by Victorian London & whale oil-powered technology, creates a memorable & unique visual identity.

The gameplay is where Dishonored truly shines. You can choose to approach each mission with stealth, using abilities like Blink (short-range teleportation) & Dark Vision (seeing enemies through walls), or you can go in guns blazing, utilizing a variety of weapons & supernatural powers. The game rewards both playstyles, & the level design is cleverly crafted to support both approaches.

The powers themselves are a highlight, offering a wide range of creative possibilities. You can possess enemies, summon swarms of rats, stop time, & more. Combining these powers with your weapons & the environment allows for some truly satisfying & emergent gameplay moments.

The story, while not the game's primary focus, is well-told & features interesting characters & moral dilemmas. Your choices throughout the game can affect the story & the world around you, adding to the replayability.

**Pros:**

* Highly flexible gameplay that allows for stealth or action approaches! 👤
* Unique & memorable art style & world-building! ✨
* Variety of creative supernatural abilities! 🦸‍♂️
* Well-designed levels that encourage exploration & experimentation! 🗺️
* Meaningful choices that impact the story! 🎭

**Cons:**

* Story can be somewhat straightforward despite the player choices! 📖
* Some minor technical issues can occur! 🐛

**Verdict:** 9/10. Dishonored is a masterpiece of stealth action & immersive sim design. Its unique art style, flexible gameplay, & memorable world make it a truly unforgettable experience. It's a game that empowers players to approach each situation in their own way, & the result is a highly rewarding & replayable experience. A must-play for fans of stealth, action, & immersive worlds. 🏆

A classic. Still very playable over a dozen years later. I've played this game through probably half a dozen times. Excellent world development, immersive plot, great voice acting. Gaming dynamics and powers are fun. The narrative is fantastic, but none of the characters are very nice or likeable. And Dunwall doesn't seem like a very nice place at all! But overall great game.

This game is so peak, everything about the gameplay of dishonored is just orgasmic, i can play for hours doing tricks on guardsmen and overseers and would never get tired of it, finding new things each time even through I replayed a mission multiple time is crazy. each level was designed with such care, love and incredible detail. There is no game like this. If your a fan of stealth games but hate the slow paste of it. this game fixes the problems with the mc/ Corvo having supernatural abilities. 10/10 highly recommend

While often frustrating, when it works, it works. Once you get the hang of it, you can do some really cool stealthy assassination shit in this game, and you honestly can start to feel like an unstoppable force of nature. The plot and story is pretty cliche, but the level designs are solid, and I like how many different options you honestly have to complete missions. Might be a bit dated now, but still worth checking out if you're into games like Sniper Elite, Hitman, or even Assassin's Creed. Or if you particularly like playing a stealth archer in Skyrim.

Good gameplay, good controls, great graphics for the time period, it's too bad Microsoft got rid of the studio who made this game.

12.5 years later and this game is still top notch. Graphics haven't aged too well; but not a bad visual experience either. Gameplay is excellent and story very good. Hard recommend, one of the best games ever made I'd reckon. Also, got to love how well it runs on the deck.
