Not only is Dishonored a strong game set in a fascinating universe, it’s one of those rare and incredible titles that holds the player’s attention right from the start and then leaves them wanting more as the credits roll. If there’s a better action game in 2012, I’ll be very, very surprised.

There’s a particular kind of first-person adventure game, where it doesn’t feel like a game you play so much as a place you visit, and Dishonored fits neatly into that category. A lot of imagination, work, and care has gone into it, and your best bet is to slow down, explore it, and see what you can find. It’s one of the better games this year, and will probably still be discussed ten or twenty years from now.

Dishonored is almost exactly what you want it to be. It’s almost exactly what I wanted it to be, at any rate. The solid story, the fantastic voice performances, the unbelievably well designed city, the attention paid to every small detail, the sheer amount of ridiculously fun skills, and the focus on player creativity is all amazing. I’ve never been one to nitpick; if the game envelops me and I can’t stop playing, I tend to be positive and overlook the shortcomings. But in this case, I never have to overlook much. And why? Because as I said at the start, it’s just that good.

Dishonored is an easy contender for the best game of the year. It does so much right that it’s easy to overlook its few flaws and weaknesses. The level of freedom and detail is absolutely staggering. There are few games that just point you at a target and tell you to get ’em. The world may be smaller than your Skyrims and Fallouts, but it’s in no way less free. The gameplay is top-notch, offering fun combat and even more enjoyable stealth. Dishonored is a must-play game. It doesn’t matter if you enjoy violent combat, tense stealth or superpowered magic-slinging. You’ll find something to enjoy here.

Dishonored may not do anything we’ve never before seen, but everything it does, it does extremely well. The massive amount of choice given to players keeps the game interesting through multiple replays, proving that multiplayer isn’t necessary to be a hit. In a year, and an industry, stricken with a plague known as “sequelitisâ€, Dishonored is the perfect cure, and should etch its name into every Game of the Year discussion with a sharply-tipped assassin blade.

Dishonored is the thinking man’s first person shooter but throw those guns away as there are so many more interesting ways to take on your enemies. With a great protagonist, interesting characters and well-written story, it’s games like Dishonored that really make you sit up and take notice. It’s original and gives almost total control to the player on how the story and game will play out. With elements of RPG meets first person shooter, Dishonored is the game to all fans of both these genres and beyond. Highly Recommended!

Dishonored basks in artistic brilliance. Dunwall unravels at your feet, reacting organically to your in-game actions in a way that you feel rooted in its rich lore. Stealth has never been so satisfying as it is in Dishonored. One of 2012’s finest.

Though I was frustrated by the chaos system and how it steers your actions, the heart of Dishonored is about being inventive, adaptable, and ruthless. The team at Arkane Studios has injected an array of cool possibilities into the simulated city of Dunwall, and discovering them all is a blast. When you come face-to-face with the people who wronged you, your only dilemma is deciding which poetic method of elimination will produce coolest result.

The Heart is easily my favorite character in the entire game. And that’s where we start getting into some of Dishonored’s bigger flaws.

Strangely, what holds this title together is not its gameplay, but its place. As a stealth-action game it has its flaws. But sometimes experience wins out over action. Dunwall is full of death, disease, and dishonour. Just being there is enough.

It’s a good thing, too, since Dishonored is an excellent game, and one worthy of your attention. Dishonored’s greatest contribution to the genre games like Deus Ex helped establish will be best appreciated by those who’ve been with it from the start, but Arkane has made a game rooted in manipulating artificial intelligence that plays just as well to the guy or gal who wants to shoot stuff. That’s impressive.

Dishonored’s open-ended approach is a commendable one, but we felt the way it cheats the player out of the best ending if they choose the ‘wrong’ play style to be a bit frustrating. However, while it’s a little short, Dishonored is ultimately a very enjoyable experience, with a vivid, unique world that will surprise whoever steps into it.

Despite its slight inconsistency and minor issues, Dishonored is definitely worthy of sitting in my games collection. It’s an atmospheric experience, a story about a man desperately fighting for what he believes, to fulfil a promise he once made to a little girl, and to save the city from a tyrant despite the odds. If you’re a fan of atmospheric games, espionage or FPS games in general, you should definitely give this one a try.
