Dishonored is a video game that allows players to approach each assassination with their own unique style. Players can use shadow and sound to move through levels unseen by enemies or attack them head-on as they react to your aggression. The malleable combat system provides the player with the ability to creatively combine their abilities, supernatural powers, and gadgets as they traverse through levels in order to bring down their targets. Therefore, improvisation and adaptation are essential for success in this game in order for players to define their modus operandi.
