The storyline and level design on those games is amazing. They were a ton of fun the first time through and I find myself picking them up again every few years and I still enjoy them.
Agreed! I love how different you can play each level as well. Although I generally end up murdering everyone after I mistakenly alert a guard ...
It's also one of only a few games I spent the time to read all the fun "flavor text" notes and books. That and "Control" - both have solid extras that actually add to the story and make you feel immersed in the world.
Hah, I also failed many times and alerted the guards and ended up having to kill everyone. Getting through some of the levels while maintaining stealth can be really tricky.
I still need to check out Control. I agree that the readings in Dishonored were pretty interesting.
