Dishonored tells the story of Corvo, the Lord Protector of the Empress of a huge plague ridden empire and her daughter. When the Empress is murdered and her daughter abducted, Corvo is framed for her murder. Now he must fight, with the help of his new found allies, against the very men who framed him and with deadly stealth, prevent them from taking over the empire.
So everything in this game was great although I think it would have been better if it was a third person game like Assassin's Creed or Prince of Persia. However that is only my view. Finally, the guards seem to be everywhere and the problem with that is if you're trying to sneak past one guard the odds are that you will be spotted by another guard who suddenly appears behind him. It seems trivial but trust me it can be f***ing frustrating at times.
So to wrap up this is a game well worth buying as it has a fulfilling story and shows that video games will soon overtake Hollywood movies completely.
The story is pretty much a political assassination thriller that you serve as the biggest piece of, your actions influencing where the story goes and how certain characters act. The levels also evolve based on how many people you kill, and again, it is perfectly fitted to the setting. More people killed equals more corpses, which leads to more unhygienic living, which leads to more sick people, for this you need more security etc etc.
While the story and the characters themselves are interesting, they are a bit lacking due to the voice acting being not that amazing. Sometimes it feels borderline robotic.
The most important part of this game is obviously though the gameplay, which is just great. Both the stealth and action mechanics are fully fledged and this combined with the brilliant level design makes for one of the most replayable single player campaigns out there.
The supernatural abilities are very unique and fun to use, and the tools at your disposal allow for some very gruesome encounters. Or not, if you don't want to. You can beat the entire game without killing or being seen by anyone. Player freedom and choice are the most important part of the gameplay. Whether you want to sneak past guards via a rooftop, straight up engage with them in awesome combat or possess a fish and swim away, it is all up to the player.
Excellence in every way.

The Outsider: So ends the interregnum, and now Emily Kaldwin the First, will take her mother's throne, after a season of turmoil. You will stand at her side, Corvo, guiding her young mind, and protecting her from those who seek to exploit her, or cause her harm. You watched and listened when other men would have shouted in rage. You held back instead of striking. So it is, with the passing of the plague and Emily's ascension, comes a golden age, brought about by your hand. And decades hence, when your hair turns white and you pass from this world, Empress Emily - Emily the Wise, at the height of her power - will lay your body down within her mother's great tomb, because you were more to her than Royal Protector. Farewell, Corvo.
