Watch: Dishonored 2 helped me conquer my fear of getting caught
I've got the Karnaca this now.
With 2016 looking increasingly like one long, unending augury of the coming apocalypse, I feel suddenly inclined to confess a sin or two. Here's one: I never finished Dishonored.
It's not that I didn't enjoy Corvo's adventures in Dunwall, quite the opposite, but the problem way I couldn't get the hang of sneaking around without getting caught. Every time I played Dishonored, I felt like I was simply blustering through the levels and failing forward to eventual success.
Eventually my desire (and inability) to play Dishonored in a satisfactory way kept me from playing it at all - no matter how I tried, I just couldn't be a good enough Corvo to justify carrying on.
Dishonored 2, I am pleased to say, has changed all that through a combination of gameplay tweaks and a more ambitious approach to level design. I talk about it further in the video below - give it a watch and let me know what you think.
