Dishonored - A Stealth Masterpiece of Revenge and Choice
The moment I realized Dishonored was special wasn't during an assassination – it was when I possessed a fish to swim through a water pipe, bypassing an entire guard patrol. This wasn't just another stealth game; it was a playground of creative problem-solving where your imagination was the only limit.
Let me share a moment that captures the essence of Dishonored: I was infiltrating a party, and instead of killing my target, I exposed their crimes, ruining their reputation and letting them live with the consequences. That's Dishonored – it gives you the power of life and death, then asks what you'll do with it.
