Dishonored for PC Reviews by Gamers

I will start by saying that the game has a great story, and an excellent world. However, the game is rife with issues.

1) No background on Corvo. There is no storyline behind the main character, and the deepest that it ever goes into Corvo is an insiniuation that he may be the father of the Empresses' Daughter.

2) No rewards for stealth or "no kill" gameplay. It's easier to play the human blender in this game than to play the pacifist, and the only reward are achievments, which is great if you are concerned about the size of your e-peen. Most games I've played give you in-game rewards for difficult gameplay, but this game doesn't.

3) Convoluted tracking of kills. Played through the whole level without killing a single person? Expect to get that nice tick mark for not killing anyone? Guess again. Although the game fails to tell you this, if you leave a body laying around that is just unconcious, even if there are no rats nearby, they will appearantly magically appear and eat the person you knocked out. On top of this there are zombie-like creatures in the game called "Weepers" that are in the final stages of a plague, and are DOOMED TO DIE. The game tells you this several times, however if you happen to kill one of these zombie-esque creatures, it counts towards your kill count when trying to go for no-kill. I wonder if the dogs in the game count as a kill for "no-kill"?

4) Limited choice in gear, upgrades, and abilities. Everything seems to be geared towards either pure mayhem, or strict stealth, without much inbetween. There is ONE upgrade for the sword, and the upgrades for the crossbow and the gun are unimpressive. However, you will easily earn enough to get all of the upgrades before the end of the game, wiithout trying too hard.

5) Two endings. One good ("low chaos") and one evil ("high chaos"). Seriously, not all that worth it.

What the game lacks in mechanics it focuses on environment and immersiveness and does a great job. Worth $20-30, not $50-60.

This is a really good game. I like this game and i hope to own it soon!

This was a a great game. I'm a 49 yr. old Grandmother who is slow to react, see & sometimes think, but this game took that into no never mind. It made be be better. The first games I played were Zelda games....then......I got an XBOX, I cut my teeth on Dishonored, and i love it. My son in law now loves it, I sent it to him and wish he'd send it back so I can play again.

You must play this game!!!!!

Not a bad game. Interesting characters, a twisting plot, good gameplay (some fun powers such as blink and rat swarm) and perhaps the best conclusion of any game I've played yet.

The game was very boring. i literally played it for two hours and i had to send it back because it was sooooo boring.

cliche galore the movement are to fast to enjoy a good kill the stealth part of the game is just flat-out lame I got the game in the mail today and I would have sent it back to get hitman if my 3 year old wasn't playing it
