All of this is available to the player in Dishonored, but on a far grander scale. In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, you could take down enemies lethally or non-lethally, choose to traverse the level through air vents, or even knock out/kill every person in the room. I started to see this type of game mechanic with the latest Deus Ex: Human Revolution, however this takes it up a few levels.

Grab a dagger and your least squeaky boots because it’s time to start taking down the entire military branch of a government single handedly in any way you see fit. After some really bad luck, you find yourself being accused of a murder you didn’t commit and before you know it you’re fleeing for your life and trying to get back at the people who framed you. In this steam punk based world running on whale oil, you play Corvo Attano, a recently “dishonored” bodyguard for the Queen and her daughter. Being from Bethesda, the game initially felt very similar to Fallout 3, however the different developer, Arkane Studios, quickly distinguished itself. I do have a soft spot for stealth based games and I think this one did small game linearity very well. One of the shortest games I’ve played, but probably one of the best in the year for me at least was Dishonored. I’ve been looking for a good original game lately and it’s difficult to find one of “triple A” quality with all of these sequels coming out however, I think I finally found one. A line you just can’t help but say as you start up Dishonored for the first time, and I guarantee it won’t be the last time you say it either. “Hey…Hey, guess what? You’ve been DISHONORED!”.
