Dishonored

In Dishonored, ripping your opponents to ribbons using the gleeful interplay between all of Corvo’s skills is the most fun the game has to offer. Corvo’s strikes are brutal, his parries ferocious. He ends lives in a lavish, gratifying way, sinking the blade deep into flesh, beheading, and lopping limbs at will. He can possess enemies and throw them in the path of friendly fire. He can force enemies to throw themselves from buildings. He can set spiteful traps and enact sadistic situations. In short, if you choose, Corvo can become a demon of a man.
