A decent standalone game, nothing amazing but it has it moments.

The gameplay is great as always, allowing you to take multiple paths. You play as Bille Lurk, who has her own set of unique powers. There are only three powers to choose from, this may sound disappointing, but they serve their purpose well.

The chaos system is gone, I don't really mind this feature being missing, but it did allow more freedom in combat and stealth.

This is the apparent final title in the series and I must say I'm a little bit let down by the climax. The ending is abrupt and unsatisfying at best, so is the overall plot.

I recommend this title if you are itching for more Dishonored.

A great game, despite having various flaws that appear when playing.

The gameplay is fantastic, just like the first game you have the freedom to explore a wide open level and take you own path by being stealthy or go guns blazing. It's important to exlplore every part of game since this game is oozing with detail. You get to play one of the two protaganists, Corvo and Emily, each character has their own set of unique powers. I found that both of them different enough to consider two or more playthroughs

However, the story is lackluster, it begins abruptly and ends on a anti climatic note. Also, the new characters introduced are honestly unmemorable. It's a shame really since the lore surrounding the game isfascinating.

As a PC port, it's mixed. The game can look amazing with the shadow and lighting being the highlights. But at times, I noticed some out of place low textures that could really ruin the look of the game. Performance is a rollercoaster to say the least. My FPS counter can say the game is running between 100-80 while it feels like 60-40 on my end because of the frame skipping issue that is still present two years after release... TWO YEARS!

Buy this title if you're looking for a good stealth game, if you want an amazing piece of storytelling, move along.

A charming game, it's clear that the developers care about this product with the consistent up dates they are releasing.

The goal is simple, make it to Canada. The gameplay is very similar to other survival titles such as Oregon Trail where you have the chance to make multiple choices throughout your journey.

The music is great, not once in my 30 hours did I ever get bored of it. The retro style graphics add along to it making this game feel like a breath of fresh air.

Overall a worthy title, keep up the good work.

An amazing modern classic, still to this day.

The story is mediocre at best, but the gameplay more than makes up for it.

Each level is crafted to perfection, allowing you to take multiple paths which leads to different outcomes. There are enough tools in this game which can suit each playstyle.

Graphics, while aged, are still unique; having this oil painting style look to it. Some may find it distracting at first, but you'll ease into it soon enough.

I highly recommend this game if you are a fan of steath games which allow you to play the way you want to play, instead of going down a linear path.

A decent game, but has a poor community with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ attitude. Online is riddled with hackers, the content is stale and is quite frankly tedious at this point.

However, the singleplayer is fun, if a little repetitive. I would only purchase this title if it is on sale or if you are a massive Grand Theft Auto fan.

Be WARY of online.

A step in the right direction. Compared to the total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that was Resident Evil 5 and 6, it felt like a breath of fresh air playing this game.

Is it a mindblowing masterpiece? No, far from it. Is it entertaining? Hell yes.

Wow, this game was a huge surprise to me. It was honestly amazing, everything from the story, gameplay, level design, atmosphere, acting and music.

Arkane absolutely nailed it, a perfect blend of Bioshock and System Shock. I haven't been engrossed in a FPS game for a while. The story starts off slow, but then opens up to a wide set of sub plots, connecting with the main plot. The game ends with a great plot twist which I shall not spoil.

In terms of negatives, the last act of game had too much backtracking for my tastes and was at times quite tedious. Another issue is that it started to feel like a breeze in the second half, I could destory anything in my path with no trouble, and this was on hard.

Apart from these two issues, this game is worth it. I plan to do a second playthrough with no powers on the hardest difficulty.

A solid title overall, I was a bit skeptical at first, I was expecting an generic corridor shooter that had shamefully had taken DOOM's name.

However, what I got was tense, exciting and gory shooter, faithful to classic 1990's shooters for the most part.

There is no need to talk about the story much, since it's never been the main focus of DOOM, but it serves it's purpose.

In terms of negatives, I don't have many. The lack of a quicksave/quickload feature is quite disappointing. The multiplayer in all honestly is run of the mill, you may have fun for a few hours but will quickly get boring.

I will recommend this game to people who are itching for some good action.

P.S The music in this game is badass. It's worth listening to the whole soundtrack.

Early Access Review
This game is great. Sure it has a few bugs and glitches, but it didn't harm my experience. Can't wait to see what new features they implement in the coming updates.
