I have no idea how the game hasn't died

Peak game design. Will be hard to top this tbh.

Another absolute banger in the unholy Bethesda Game Trinity with goat status expansions to compliment your base game experience.

The only really bad thing about this game is the ABSOLUTELY COOKED level progression system and balance that they dredged up from hell. it can really hinder your your enjoyment so I personally will never play the game without mods that completely overhaul it.

I recommend 1 simple mod to fix this issue. It's ZERO hassle to install, it's Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul. There are others to compliment this mod but if I had to pick one it would be this.

Who tf doesn't like this game. Like seriously.

If you are an old time player of this game and haven't gotten into mods you are doing yourself a disservice. Just about everything that you can think of that you would like added or adjusted about the game has been done in one way or another. You can literally craft YOUR perfect version of Skyrim right now if you wanted.

Do yourself a favour and don't open it.

A timeless banger with top tier gameplay that was way ahead of its time. Nuff said.

You should also at least play The Knife of Dunwall and the Brigmore Witches DLC for the full story experience. Together they are about as long as the base game, just as fun and will make you appreciate the base game even more. They individually cost as much as a bar of chocolate...

With those DLC you will have just doubled your enjoyment of this great game.

Take Dishonored 1, make the game longer like you wanted, fine tune the gameplay like you wanted, add new game plus like you wanted, add more powers like you wanted, add even more in-depth levels and complexity.

That is Dishonored 2.

I REALLY like this game. It's one of the best flash games ever made. But I can't realistically justify buying it unless it's on sale, as you can literally buy The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion with all the DLC and other games like that for the same price as this game.

With that being said...

This is one of the OG dopamine-like-crack-for-your-brain type of games. This is largely driven by an unavoidable sense of progression throughout every aspect in the game. You do a thing, you are rewarded more and more for doing a thing, you get a thing, to do another thing, your stats go up for a thing to do another thing. If you read that and are the type of person that thought, oh ♥♥♥♥ yeah. You'll enjoy the game.

A sequel building and adding to all the gameplay elements in this but with like the depth of Terraria or something like that while not being limited by flash would be a goated game.

I played this blind and the intro cutscene got a deep belly laugh out of me which I never really get when playing games.

It was from that moment I knew it was going to be a fun time.

Games like this literally can't and won't be made anymore.

This is basically just a way more fun and entertaining Jaws Unleashed type of game, a completely absurd and cracked shark sim. There is a very nice sense of progression that is the main thing that keeps you playing. You eat ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everything and grow from a freshly born shark all the way to an apex abomination throughout your play through. It's objectively a fun time.

Can't really say anything bad about it as it does what it wants to do well. A more in-depth version of literally everything in the game for a sequel would put this genre over big time.
