Dishonored is a game I just got not too long ago and man oh man, it's fucking awesome. I mean, here you are playing as Corvo, a man who is being framed for killing the Empress who must show that he wasn't the killer by getting back at those who betrayed him...
But there's more to that than just revenge, you get to have magic powers and different outcomes of the game. I LOVE when a game features different outcomes!!! You see, you can either be really ruthless with your enemies and just slaughter them, and I do mean "slaughter." You don't just get to slice and dice people, you can really do some damage with your weapons. Here, I toss a grenade from such a high distance that it literally chops the poor sap into pieces. Their limbs fly everywhere and you can actually pick them up, to distract the guards and such... You can even play soccer with decapitated heads by sliding into them. But getting back to the outcomes, if you slaughter these guys, the darker the city becomes, which means more rats will start eating upon the bodies, even the unconscious ones if they're in sight. However, if you don't kill these people, you can make the city a bit nicer, which is also giving you the best ending of the game. Yeah, the ending depends on whether you're a killing machine, or a knock out ninja.
I hate stealth, but it's your number one best friend in the entire game. I somehow always stumble every now and then with an arrow getting shot into the torso of my enemies instead of their heads. Every now and then, when you make a great shot towards them with your crossbow, the camera zooms in on that arrow and just springs right into a guy. This is the only game I know that decapitates enemies with flying arrows. You also have grenades, proximity mines that you stick onto walls that just slices your enemies into pieces. Your arrows can either have a normal effect to them, a sleeping effect, or an incendiary effect to them. You also have a gun as well.
Now, I mentioned that you have magical powers. You can actually complete the game and receive a trophy by NOT buying any of these moves. But you can teleport, possess animals/humans, rise a swarm of rats to devour nearby enemies, see through walls, and stop time. You can also improve yourself by upgrading your health and weapons by collecting bone charms and money. Bone Charms gives Corvo something special such as slicing rats gives you more adrenaline, drinking from a sink restores more health, those kinds of things. Collecting money throughout the game can help you give Corvo upgrades on his mask and weapons. Your friends can help you with that.
Yeah...
Anyways, these missions that you go on are just so fun, and running and slaughtering and just being a total badass is always fun. I know I'm going to get the bad ending because I'm killing almost everyone in my sights except for the innocents. However, I will replay the game to get the better ending and know what to do and such while NOT killing people in my way... That's going to be really tough. You can kill the enemies that you have to kill, there are also nonlethal ways to do it as well, but hey, being bad is just as good as being good, right?
Right.
