Epic Games Store continues to offer games for free and that remain permanently in the user’s library. This time it was up to Dishonored – Definitive Editionwhich includes the first release of Arkane Studios’ immersive sim along with additional content The Knife of Dunwall, Void Walker Arsenal, Dunwall City Trials Y The Brigmore Witches.
The first Dishonored is one of the immersive sims most successful in history, if not the most. Simplifying, the immersive sim It is a genre in which the way in which a game should be played is not clearly stated. Consequently, the user has at his disposal various ways to resolve situations.
In other words, the immersive sim It is a genre that gives the player freedom to focus and face the game as they see fit at each moment and each situation, since there is no defined “correct” way to play. Although stealth is presented as the center of the gameplay in Dishonored, nothing prevents you from moving forward as if you were playing Doom. From certain points of view, the genre can be understood as a kind of role-playing game.
The immersive sims They have not been very numerous throughout the history of video games and they are not a particularly accessible genre either., so few are the titles that achieve commercial success. Among them are the one that occupies us in this post, the first Dishonoredto which we can add its sequel and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The success of Dishonored Y Deus Ex: Human Revolution may be because they are more accessible than, for example, Prey 2017, which was also developed by Arkane Studios and is grittier than the other mentioned titles.
The original Dishonored is a game from 10 years ago that in its day did not have very high requirements at the system level, so today it should be fully enjoyable at very high qualities even on a low-end machine. Don’t miss the opportunity that the Epic Games Store is giving you to get hold of this great classic, which can also serve to delve into an underexploited and misunderstood genre by some. Offer ends January 5, 2023.
