I recently decided to play through the first Dishonored game (lemmy.world)

I had played Dishonored 2 about a year after it was first released, and it was a lot of fun. I love stealth games and I really liked the take it had on the genre. So a couple months ago when I saw the first one had a steam sale I decided to pull the trigger and I’m glad I did. Man, this game is good! I’ve played through it twice now, and I just started the Knife of Dunwall DLC. I’m really enjoying the unique art style, and I think I prefer the general feel to that of the second game.

If you haven’t given this one a shot yet I’d highly recommend it. It still looks incredible and it feels super smooth to play.

These days the first Dishonoured gets FPS Boost and HDR Boost on Series X and it looks and plays better than 2, though both are amazing!

If you liked these you should check out Prey when you're done. Different setting (sci-fi / space) but a similarish game from the same studio that I loved.

Prey is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Highly recommend as well.

I'm on PC so I don't get those by default but I can mod, I'm just not too picky when it comes to graphics so I don't bother. It's cool that that's an available feature on Xbox though!

I bought Prey a few months ago, it's in my steam backlog. I'll definitely have to bump it up the list though! Sounds promising, and I remember hearing great things when it released back in 2017 (I think that's the year)

Imho, Arkane Studios games rank:

Prey
Dishonoured 1
Dishonoured 2
Deathlooop

and all were a fantastic time.

Though I haven't played Redfall yet due to the poor reception, I figure I'll wait til I'm bored in a year or so after they've had time to iron out some of the rougher edges.

I completely forgot about Deathloop, it didn’t seem like my type of game. The whole time loop fad from a year or two ago really didn’t interest me much so I didn’t bother with any of them. Maybe I’ll try it out though at some point

Play Prey, and then if you like it and are itching for more, play the Prey DLC which was their first take on the time-loop-ish concept, but it's smaller and more stealth focused than Deathloop. Then if you like that and want something bigger with more style and less stealth, play Deathloop.
