A city eaten away by plague, and you, a blade in the shadows choosing how to strike.

When the community picks on gut feeling, Dishonored sits ahead of 93% of games. Strong appeal. But look at the detail, and a real tension appears. Controller feel sits ahead of 95% of titles, art direction ahead of 92%, that instantly recognizable style. There, the game shines. And yet connection and the desert island drop, around 17 to 22%, near the very bottom. Fun and rediscovery sit right in the middle of the pack. There is the paradox: a game you love to handle and to look at, but get far less attached to than you enjoy in the moment.

In the immersive stealth family, it offers a freedom of approach few can match. But where some bind you to their characters for life, this one leaves you an admirer more than a lover.

So, who is it for? For you if you love pure play, creativity in how you take down a target, a bold visual signature. Much less if you want the game that grips your heart and that you carry everywhere.
