I finally played Dishonored for the first time in 2023. I went in knowing I don't like Stealth games, but I also like playing morally good when possible, so I wound up with a weird conundrum - play High Chaos for more fun but get a bad ending, or play Low Chaos and have less fun but get the good ending?
I went for Low Chaos. To me, that's how the game is intended to be played, and yeah, I managed. Even at times, I didn't hate it, I actually kinda liked doing stealth. Sometimes. Overall, I had a very neutral experience. I think the game is very anti-climactic with its ending too for Low Chaos unfortunately, making the reward feel like it wasn't worth the effort.
So it's a game where I get why people like it, but it's just not for me and I do think it's a tad overrated. It doesn't do anything interesting outside of its gameplay, and its gameplay is only fine. In my opinion. But, I do respect it for what it is.
Score: 79
