Dishonored is a great game! its an assassins creed esque game in a steampunk world. but the most fun part of this game is that ANY enemy each and every one of them can be skipped and thats what the game tries to make you do. you're an assassin not a soldier! sneak up to the objective eleminate him/her and dissapear in the shadows. and this is what sets it apart from other games like assassins creed. sneaking is done well and very tricky at times.

i have yet to finish this game but so far i feel like this game is just ment to make you feel depressed! i bought this game during the winter sale on recomendation of a good friend. during the first part of the game it felt like a normal indie game trying to do something diffrent but pretty early on the background music, the lack of any sound at all ( at certain moments) other then lame fighting sounds started to bother me, the cutscenes if you can call em that shouldeve at least have some nice music in there! the voice acting thats absent is a pity but not a giant letdown,look at final fantasy, golden sun and others a good background music doesn't make reading a chore, in this game it does feel like a chore...

when you are past the halfway point in the game and you are doing long treks from east to west the supplies that are needed to keep youre company of travellers alive starts to become a immense annoyance rather then a logistics game. you should need to try and arrange it along the lines of: x days to point 1 i need Y amount of supplies. the game rather makes you suffer, as it does not give any info about the journey just a map where you can see the travel route. well guess the travel route. so i decided to take too many supplies, what did the game do ? every moment it got it tried to rip me off and screw me over! it will take those supplies and trow you a nice middlefinger along the way. take too little and well youre also ♥♥♥♥♥♥ as it will stil trow some bumps along the way.

on top of that, the battles in the game are pretty stale, the field is always the same. my main annoyance about the battle system is that most of the units have diffrent abilitys and so far i have only found 1 combo between these abilitys, wich for me is a huge disapointment. altough the hp of the mobs takes a diffrent form in this game as its closely tied to youre armour and strenght. lose armour take more dmg, take dmg you dont hit as hard. this is a pretty nifty and real simulation of how it would be in real life this makes the battles more interesting ( altough this also has its downsides)

had they put more time into the battle end of the game it wouldeve gotten me way more excited about the game as a whole. and maybe even made me give it a thumbs up. atm i'm stil hoping of finishing the game, but it started to piss me off enough to write a revieuw before i finished it...

A story about my uncle is one of the best games i've played. a simple story and a great adventure make this game just so much fun. the great fun of this game lies in its simplicity, you have a very limited amount of abilitys to get trough this 3D platformer: sprint, jump, grapple and rocket boots. the game make you combine these in more than ways then you expect! but as any game it does have a downside or two. the voice acting was pretty stiff and the game itself was somewhat short! conclusion if you get it in a sale as i did dont doubt best 3 bucks ive ever spend! i would even go as far as to go against my policy of dont buy when its not in sale on this one!

I bought this game during a sale for 2 reasons : it was 3 euros and i remembered vaguely reading about it in the past.

after completing the game moments ago i am happy i bought it, it filled a nice chunk of my free time this past week and i enjoyed it greatly. even with the annoyances in the game:
- camera when entering houses or certain corridors
- hated samurai beeing annoying rather than hard to kill
- super move beeing more or less overpowered

but they dident have a giant influence on the fun the game brings along!
the combat system was pretty straight forward altough mastery isen't that simple you can choose a ninja and stick to him and finish the game but choosing the correct ninja to fight each enemy will make it so much more fun to play! you should be constantly changing playstyles from slow and hard hitting to fast as hell or even ranged you have several ninja's at youre disposal and each has its pro's and cons. combine them to become great!

all in all i give this game a 7/10 i immensly enjoyed it altough there where bits and bobs (i'm looking at you hated ninjas!) that just annoyed the living hell out of me!
