I love Dishonored for many reasons.

The setting is grim and seemingly hopeless, but it gives you room to change it for the better, or push it over the edge.

The lore is rich and gives you the sense that there's an entire world around you, just waiting to be explored.

The gameplay allows for both exciting moments and long-term payoff, and you can tell it's created with respect for the player.

The characters are great, especially the very human Loyalists.

The themes are interesting, from "what does power do with people" to "how do our actions shape others".

And, last but not least, Dishonored has brought together a dedicated community, which I feel honored to be a part of.
