Dishonored

So by now I assume that a lot of you have played dishonored, and if you are anything like me (or enjoyed the bioshock series) you enjoyed it. This is one of those games that pulls you in right at the start. You play as a Corvo Attano, the legendary former bodyguard to Dunwall's Empress Jessamine Kaldwin. At the beginning of the game your Empress gets assassinated and you are the only one left at the scene when the guards come to investigate. This is where you become the dishonored, from here you decide how you want to play. You either go around and kill every one in sight, either by sneaking up behind them and silently assassinating them or by running in guns/sword/crossbow a blazing or by stealthy and not killing anyone by knocking them out when you sneak up behind them, or sleep dart works too. My first play through I did it with stealthy but killing, this is probably one of the easier routes, mainly because you can get an ability at the beginning of the game that turns the guards to dust as soon as you slit their throat. I was convinced by a friend that after completing it this way that I should replay it using stealth and not killing anyone, I agreed cause I was intrigued as to what those check boxes would mean at the end. After playing through the game for a while like this I quickly got bored.

In the end I would say this is a game to buy, it was an excellent play through the first time. I have enough other games that I wanted to dig into that I decided one play though was enough. Overall I would give it a 8/10, there are few games that can pull me back for multiple play throughs but unfortunately this is not one of them.
