The game also features multiple endings, which is not choice-based but is gauged on how many bodies Corvo lays down in his path to revenge.

Most devs would have opted to change the skills Arkane, however, decided to adjust levels to accommodate the abuse of powers. What sets Arkane apart as a developer is that when these abilities were being playtested, many players could exploit these abilities in ways developers hadn’t foreseen. After the “tutorial”, the game introduces supernatural abilities to the player.

The narrative might be pretty cut and dry, but the aesthetics and feel of the entire game are unique and appealing. The story follows Corvo Attano, bodyguard to Dunwall’s queen and the main accused for her murder it’s set in a fantastical dieselpunk setting with supernatural elements for good measure. Games that I consider the best in their genre and are some of my all-time favorites.ĭishonored was released in 2012 and is a stealth focused action-adventure game.

They’ve come up with games like Dishonored, Prey and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I have always held Arkane Studios in high regard.

System shock like games
