Dishonored was released 9^th October 2012 for the PC,PS3 and Xbox 360 there was a release at the later date of August 2015 for the PS4 and Xbox One this also included some DLC that included Daud looking for his path to redemption after killing the Empress in the main game.

 Dishonored is a stealth action adventure game set in the fictional city known as Dunwall, the inspiration for this city came from late 19^th century London. The game was developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks, this game follows the story of Corvo Attano bodyguard to the Empress of the Isles we start off with Corvo returning after a mission with important news for the Empress, upon his return things go terribly wrong very quick when a mysterious figure known as Daud teleports in putting Corvo under heavy fire with the intention on killing the Empress and kidnapping Emily the Empresses daughter. This is when Corvo takes on the role of an assassin going after those who conspired against him, eventually Corvo will come across a group of loyalists who are the resistance group who agree to help Corvo reclaim the city of Dunwall, he will also be taken into another realm to meet the Outsider a powerful being with God-like power who provides Corvo with supernatural abilities like teleportation or as is known in the game “blink”.

 The animations for this game are what makes it so fun to play the player is only limited by their imagination whatever they choose to do is possible, the developers worked on the different variations of the powers in development looking at fun ways to combine Corvo's powers such as combining the high jump with blink which would enable the player to reach further away places, instead of restricting the player using the combined abilities to enhance the game the developers tried to design the levels to accommodate it. The main trouble was balancing the gameplay the development team wanted the player to feel like they had control of all these powers without making the game to easy so from this they added a mana pool in which the stronger the power the more mana it would consume, or they limit the time that the specific power would be active, all this combined works really well to create a fun experience that the player can do what they choose but not so much as to make the game too easy.

 The game is played in first person and the player will be given a series of objectives on the way to the top conspirators in which they can play in many different ways including playing through the whole game without killing anyone, the player will be able to do this as the game provides many different path ways to the objectives which you can find and the option to neutralize the key enemy. As you play through the game it will adapt to your play-style for example if you go around relentlessly killing everyone the city will become overwhelmed with rats carrying the plague and weepers who are infected plaque victims, however if you don't kill anyone the skies will be clearer and there will be a smaller amount of rats and plaque victims. The supernatural abilities grant the player extra perks that help in the play-style you choose but in sticking with the theme of choice you can also play through the game without using any supernatural abilities. 

 The trailer for Dishonored begins with several shots of the city of Dunwall with the Drunken Whaler song being played in the background this together gives us a creepy vibe perfect for the plaque ridden state that the city is. The trailer then gets more action orientated with the beat becoming exaggerated and the city in chaos starting with the assassination of the Empress we then see shots of weepers everywhere, robotic suits with soldiers controlling them on the march, rats swarming people and Corvo beginning his war path of destruction. The action then slows down as we see the beloved Empress lying where she was murdered  and Corvo assassinating everything in his path in slow motion, the trailer then gives us a shot of little Emily reading by the fire place and the title hits the screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XbQgdSlsd0&has_verified=1

  

 Dishonored 2 is an stealth and action game in first person and is the continuation of the story from the first game in the franchise, it was developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks released 11^th November 2016 for PS4 Xbox One and PC, the game was first announced at Bethesda's first E3 showcase 14^th June 2015, the games development was led by creative director Harvey Smith who also was the lead designer of Deus Ex.

 After the events of the first game this game takes place as little Emily the Empress taking her throne and everything seems blissful until a legion of troops guarded by some clockwork soldiers which are steampunk style machines built as bodyguards, this heavily armored group march through the great hall up to Corvo and Emily the guards put down a cabin and Delilah steps out the main antagonist in the Dishonoured 1 DLC's. She wanted to trap Emily in a painted world while Delilah rules as Empress this is eventually stopped by Daud on his path of redemption, she comes in to the hall to introduce herself as Emily's aunt and claims she is the rightful heir to the throne as she is former Empress Jasmines sister, combat begins as Corvo uses his powers granted by the Outsider to teleport around and kill all the soldiers the game then allows the player to choose to play through the game as Emily or Corvo after the choice is made by the player Delilah captures the other in hard stone and knocks out your chosen character. You are then dragged through the castle as a path of your dead allies lie all around you and the game starts with you having to escape the castle, staying true to the Dishonored franchise you can play through the game killing everyone or no one the game still provides a plethora of paths that the player can find to never initiate combat or clever paths to get the drop on your targets.

 The game also provides great replay value as you can play without any powers or with a large range of them, Emily and Corvo both have different powers even blink has changed for Emily she uses an ability called far reach which works like a slingshot flinging Emily through the air, finally this game gives the player a new game+ mode in which the player can choose who to play as and they will be able to use both Emily's and Corvo's powers. The game is much the same in respect of the animations which is what makes this game so fun to play however this time the animations are more smooth making the free running more fun to run through, the assassinations seem to have a bit of variety too. During the DLC's of the first game Daud was voice acted this was a test to see how it would work, upon the release of Dishonored 2 both Emily and Corvo are voiced Emily's voice actor has changed from Chloe Grace Moretz who voiced her in the first game, this time around they changed to Erica Luttrell which works great for Emily making her sound more like an adult and Corvo was voiced for this game too by Stephen Russell. Having voiced protagonists in the game makes the story more engaging to follow because it adds some personality to the characters we play as.

 The trailer starts off with the Outsider saying “look around you, you haven't been watching the dark corners of the world, maybe living in a palace has made you soft” this instantly shows the player that perhaps everything isn't as it seems and that darkness is working its way over the realms Emily rules. Delilah is then introduced as the lost sister of Jasmine the former Empress she claims that she is there to take the crown from Emily, the camera then cuts to the Outsider talking about the happenings this back and forth between the inside of the palace and the dark realm in which the Outsider inhabits work great to keep us engaged in what will happen. The Outsider asks the Empress what do you aim to do about it and the music cuts, we then see Emily run across a rooftop and dive off at which point a montage of destruction begins much the same as it did in the first games trailer with Corvo. Throughout this montage we get to see some of the new abilities given to us through the use of Emily including a shadow walk and a giant crystal used to mesmerize an enemy the trailer then ends with Emily assassinating someone and saying “we'll be face to face soon … Delilah”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bLNC8VDTlQ&has_verified=1
