Dishonored is stealth/action, combat based game played from first person.

With great and original story of Lord Protector - Corvo Attano, you are eliminating your targets and saving daughter of killed Empress. The game has really nice voice acting and dialogue overall.
Lots of secondary goals can be found throughout the game, which gives it more potential to be replayed, since you probably won't complete them all on your first playthrough.
Controls are smooth, completely rebindable and easy to learn. Corvo has supernatural powers, such as Blink, allowing to travel distances vertically or horizontally. Some of these powers may require training, since the usage of Blink can sometimes be little bit tricky, although a lot of fun.
Game is really well optimalized, runs on 60+ FPS without any problems, has a lot of options and a great graphic style. Overall style of this game is really gorgeous - mixture of Victorian Steampunk city, and it does look amazing.

Dishonored is a great game. Feels original, since there is not many games similar to Dishonored.
There is a lot of potential, high replayabillity and a lot of achievements. Even DLCs, which are really worth buying.

Dishonored really deserves your attention!

Buckle your pants.! This game is just mixture of all kinds of humour, including cute Castle Crashers styled graphics. You get to play singleplayer campaign in two difficulties - normal and hardcore. Lot of stuff to collect, etc. Then there is coop. Hmm.. You can either help your friends to get gems and yarns or you can act like you want to help them, but then kill them repeatedly over and over again.! Muhahahah! Honestly it is a lot of fun. Also comes with simple, yet complex level editor. Collect gems, yarns and hats, and exchange them for more heads and weapons! Now go out there and escape Hatty.!

'You will die, and lose your souls. Again, and again.' That is what will probably happen, if you are new to Souls series.

I myself found the game very enjoyable, although I was having problems with keyboard controls ( still better than keyboard controls in Dark Souls I ). But I got used to it really quickly. And then purchased a controller. Dammit.

Once you get into the story, it really contains a lot of lore. You can continue discovering more of it through item descriptions, or just look it up on the internet..

Overall it is a nice challenge, with very high variety of weapons, armors, rings, usable items, etc. Once you make a build which fits you, and you get the gear that suits you the most, I am pretty sure you will like it a lot.

What I found less enjoyable is multiplayer of this game. There are two parts - coop, which mostly works fine, but then there is the second part. Invading. Invading worlds of other players. I do not want to say, that it is not good, but it involves so much lag ( I do not mean FPS lag, the game runs smoothly on 60+ FPS!, we are talking about lag, which causes players to teleport on screen of one, sometimes both players). And to be honest, when you see someone standing in front of you, and then suddenly stabbing you from the back, it is not a really nice experience..
But PvP as it is, is an important part of the game and after cca hundred hours I found that part of the game enjoyable, too..

It is not as complex and does not have that dark feeling, that Dark Souls I had- but it is still fun. Also the story is not as good as in Dark Souls I, but still has a lot to offer..

Overall - feeling not as good as Dark Souls I, but PC port is a lot better.
Performance wise, it is just better.
Recommended for players, who like to challenge themselves.

By the time you play, you will learn from your own mistakes. You will be like: 'Oh, that is the cliff I fell off of, let's not do that again.' 'Hmm.. I remember presence of an enemy behind that wall, what if I try to lure him out, and after I do that, take care of the rest of the room.' And so on..

If your poor soul, decides to play PvP. Please, do not be the one which just spams R1 attack of weapons like Rapiers. Be an honorable fighter and take a loadout, which suits your playstyle and you enjoy it.

You were reading this far.? Thank you. Now go out there, and get some souls! And remember: You are of the undead, forever without hope, forever without light. ( unless you use an effigy and light up a torch.! ) Enjoy!!

Although this game is still in Alpha stage, it is really cool. I am not really a fan of tycoons, but this one is really cool. Making the prison however you like, keeping your prisoners under control, or let them run around. It already has a lot of things, you can play with, and I am sure there will be a lot more when the game is fully released. 'Realistic' mode is cool, but it is taking a long time to build all stuff you want, if you are creative - so I found more enjoyable 'Sandbox' mode, in which you have unlimited funds, so you can build whatever you want, no matter how big or complex it is going to be. Recommended.!

This game is a legend. When I was a kid, I used to play it so much. Actually, we used to. We spent so many unforgettable hours with friends just running around doing fun stuff. What to say? Everebody who wants to call himself a gamer should complete this game at least once. Although it is old, you can still encounter so many running servers, or install uncountable amount of modifications. Graphics are not the best, since it is not the youngest, story is just awesome and it just acts so, so nostalgic. So much memories about this game, if you have not played it yet, do it. It is cheap, it is fun, it is everything you'd want..

After finishing the trilogy of Ezio, Connor 'Ratonhnhaké:ton' Kenway takes place of the current assassin. Starting out with Haytham, and discovering his story, as well as Connor's. This game came through a lot of changes. And some of them are not the best. Although it is a good game, with nice graphic effects and such, its optimalization is not the best. Actually not good at all. Same as controls - they have come through a lot of changes, which are not the best. From my experience, I did not feel the nice feeling after completion, as I did with Assassin¨s Creed II or Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Also being most buggy of all Assassin's Creed games. Connor is an interesting person with not a lot of emotions, but he is still missing something. Not quite the best AssassIn's Creed game out there, but it is not that bad after all.
But Haytham just won't hide in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bush!

Continuing the trilogy of semi-young assassin, Ezio. Struggling with fighting templars and securing the Apple of Eden. Not quite as long and complex as second Assassin's Creed II, although it is still great. Controls did not come through a lot of changes from previous Assassin's Creed games. Nice graphic style, and Roma looks so good on high details. 'We work in the dark to serve the light, we are Assassins.'

Being the second Assassin's Creed game, starting the trilogy of well known Ezio Auditore da Firenze. A young assassin getting revenge and becoming the leader. This game has the longest and most complex story, which if you like - you are going to enjoy the game a lot more. It has lot actions to offer, many main and side missions, random public events, etc. Controls staying almost the same as in first Assassin's Creed. 'Vittoria agli Assassini.'

Although the game is not done yet, it has a lot to offer. Great sandbox game with a lot of content and variabillity. Travel through space to other planets and explore. Make new tools, armor, houses. Do whatever you want. If you have any friends liking sandbox games, play together.

For aprox. 1,74 on sale, it is a great addition. Nice aesthetics as well as functional features + 2 epicly made maps.
