Dishonored PS3 Reviews

Dishonored is the stealth action FPS game for PS3, X360 and PC, which developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. This game gained positive review by critics, which praising the quality of gameplay mechanics, game visuals and design, and story development to keep the game worth playing.

It receives some awards winning and nominations by calling it most original and best game of 2012. 

It is often compared to Thief series and Assassin's Creed series that inspired this game with definitive gameplay, amazing single player campaign, and superb sounds, which really amazed me to enjoy this game.

The story takes place in late 1800's and early 1900's. The story is about Corvo Attano, who used to be empress bodyguard, have been blamed by several solders for murdering empress and Emily's abduction, which is later becoming assassin, after he manage to escape from prison cell, with the help of Samuel have taken him to Hounds Pit Clubs to meet the loyalists named Admiral Havelock giving him a mission to investigating and assassinate on Dawd groups to avenge empress death and rescuing Emily, who already been kidnapped by Dawd's groups.

The story in the game somewhat decent, but not the best storytelling by far. The dialogue are seems to be sounds good on character's plot, but some plot points and narrative are not quite enough to expand more details. I say the characters in the game are quite average at the best. I like the concept of the main character that kinda look like Terminator dressing up as Assassins may looked badass and so with the Dawd's assassins are awesome too. Some others character in the game seems to be not memorable so far, but it is still ok'ay characters. The gameplay plays very well done with excellent controls, stealth combat and some decent weapons to keep the game much entertaining to play. The character's movements feels very smooth and easy to move around. The stealth combat is pretty good for sneaking in the level, without getting caught by enemies seeing you. You can also strangle them to death or assassinate them with knife, when you're near back at the enemy, but you can collect items and weapons by looting on enemies and you can also carry the enemy up and leave somewhere on different rooms without any enemies notices. You can distract them by throwing the objects in different areas that the enemies can notice the sounds, but didn't noticing you, which is quite handy for stealth gameplay. The sword combat is great for fighting with bad guys by using sword and you can perform finishing moves by pressing the button, when the action icon is appearing on screen. You can also block the enemy's attack by pressing the block button to avoid getting slashed by enemy's hits. You can select any weapons on the weapons menu, such as pistols, bowguns and grenades are quite useful for combat gameplay. Your characters have abillites to use special powers, such as blink that you can teleport at the different spot in the levels. Possession are good for mind controlling on enemies and animals. Dark Visions are useful for using the vision behind the wall to see enemy's whereabouts. Devouring Swarm sounds awesome, when using to swarms the rats on enemies getting eaten alive. Bend Time are actually great for slowing the enemies down and Windblasts can blast the enemies way are awesome as hell. I like the enhancements that can improve the character's abillites such as Vitality gives health increase, Agility gives double jump and running speed, Blood Thirsty to kill enemies with adrealine and Shadow Kill to fade the enemies away are sounds quite cool. You can upgrade the abillites by collecting runes can be found on different area, while equipping heart devices tells you where the runes whereabout. The weapons can be upgraded from the shop, which allowing to improve the weapons performances. I say the gameplay is somewhat very creative and clever to make the game more epic and fun to play.

The graphics is still amazing for character's design, decent visuals, great animation and some special effects are done so good for seventh generations consoles. 

The Music and Sounds has fantastic original score, excellent sound work, great sound atmosphere and decent voice cast on characters, which makes the perfect job for quality of the sounds. 

The special features only has 4 DLC pack, but there's nothing more unlockable stuff here.
