Gameplay Mechanics
Dishonored is first and foremost an FPS-style assassination game. For this reason, the mechanics in the game are designed for assassination. First, every enemy has a view angle and distance. Thus, you can move around the map without being seen by your enemies. Secondly, you can hide the bodies of the enemies you killed in areas such as trash cans. If your other enemies find a corpse, all enemies will be alarmed.
The second gameplay mechanic of the game is weapons designed for assassination. Among the weapons you will use most often are the pistol and the blade. If you want to hunt your opponents from a distance, you should use the pistol, if you want to kill them silently or violently at close range, you should use your sword.
Another gameplay mechanic of Dishonored is special powers. There are special powers given to Corvo by the NPC named Outsider in the game. The most popular of these special powers is the short-range teleportation spell called Blink. With this special power, your mobility on the map will increase. Also, thanks to these powers, you can slow down time, control the mind of an enemy or animal, or attack enemies with mice.
