Dishonored is a 2012 stealthaction adventurevideo game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was released worldwide in October 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, beginning in North America on October 9.
Set in the fictional, plague-ridden industrial city of Dunwall, Dishonored
follows Corvo Attano, the Empress's legendary bodyguard. He is framed
for her murder and forced to become an assassin to seek revenge on those
who conspired against him. Corvo is aided in his quest by the
Loyalists, a resistance group fighting to reclaim Dunwall, and the
Outsider, a powerful being who imbues Corvo with magical abilities.
Several noted actors provide voice work for the game, including Susan Sarandon, Brad Dourif, Carrie Fisher, Michael Madsen, Billy Lush, Lena Headey and Chloë Grace Moretz.
The game is played from a first-person
perspective and allows the player to undertake a series of
assassination missions in a variety of ways, with an emphasis on player
choice. Missions can be completed through stealth, combat or a
combination of both. Exploring each level opens new paths and
alternatives for accomplishing mission goals, and it is possible to
complete all missions, eliminating all of Corvo's targets, in a
non-lethal manner. The story and missions are modified based on violent
actions, or lack thereof, committed by the player. Magical abilities and
equipment are designed to be combined to create new and varied effects. Dishonored received generally positive reviews, focusing on
the individual narrative of the missions and the freedom available in
completing them. Criticism fell on the overarching narrative, which was
considered predictable, and issues with controlling the player's
character. Following its release, the game won the 2012 Spike Video Game
award for Best Action-Adventure Game, and was repeatedly recognized
both as the best action-adventure game and one of the best overall games
of 2012.
