What am I enjoying these days? Let me tell you…
I played the original Dishonored years and years ago when it first landed on Xbox 360. The story itself was a little wonky, but the gameplay mechanics were pitch-perfect and the worldbuilding/design were amazing. It was the closest I’d come to replaying my beloved Thief: Deadly Shadows in years. (Please, let us not discuss the 2014 Thief reboot…)
I never upgraded that old Xbox 360, so I couldn’t play Dishonored 2 when it came out, but I recently picked up a Fire TV stick and realized that I could stream games on it. So I’ve been playing Dishonored 2 and loving every minute of it.
Once again, the story is a little wonky (I mean really, some of it just makes no sense at all), but the mechanics are still solid and the stealth action is so so so fun!
