I'm not that big of a fan of stealth games, but Dishonored is a game I really enjoyed. And I did because it is a game that gives you a choice, of how you will play it.

There is this fascinating trade-off: going on a rampage, killing everyone in your path puts you on a darker path, which affects the ending of the story and the levels, making them more grim, sometimes harder, but it is also much more fun and easy.

Being totally stealthy, not killing anyone makes the game much harder, at least in earlier missions, but nets you the good ending.

And, of course, you can have balance. Maybe kill one or two, maybe twenty people, and you will get a middle ground ending.

The characters and city announcements also comment on your deeds, which makes the world much more alive and your actions more rewarding.

The story is kinda simple and predictable, but I found it very interesting. The two story DLC are also very good, easily giving you a little more than half the base game's content amount as extra content.
