GamesRadar+: 4 / 5 by Emma Davies
It may not be as sprawling as The Phantom Pain, but this is one of Xbox 360's greatest sneakathons and plays as well as it ever did. If you didn't buy it before, reach for your wallet immediately.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Matt Whittaker
Maybe the flurry of remastered games this generation has changed what we picture when a game has a subtitle like "Definitive Edition" attached to it. With Rare Replay, Grand Theft Auto V and Mega Man Legacy Collection feeling like works of love rather than profit, it can be disappointing to see such a straight port emerge on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Shawn Petraschuk
Dishonored was – is – a great game but did it really warrant a re-release for anything more than sucking extra cash out of consumers? In the end the game does still stack up as one of the greatest stealth action games of last generation but unless you missed it the first time around there is absolutely no reason to look at it now. That being said, if you passed up this gem in 2012 you can't go wrong with jumping into it now.

Dishonored: Definitive Edition Description
Dishonored: Definitive Edition for PS4, PC and XONE is an enhanced, complete edition of the bestselling first-person stealth game by Arkane which launched at the end of 2012 on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The new version was developed with personal computers and the 8th-gen consoles in mind.
Plot
The action is set in a fictional world that combines elements of the 19th century aesthetics with steampunk. The player assumes the role of Corvo Attano, a former guard of the empress who was foully murdered in a coup staged by the corrupt Lord Regent. To draw the attention away from his scheme, he falsely accuses the protagonist of the crime. However, he didn’t take into account the fact that Corvo is an incredibly experienced warrior, who can easily disappear from his enemies’ eyesight, and a master killer that uses a number of sophisticated gadgets. Moreover, he has various supernatural abilities and powers. The wrongly-convicted fighter escapes prison with no problem and embarks on a personal journey to regain honor and avenge the death of the empress.
Mechanics
The title’s mechanics combine elements of a classical first-person action game with numerous Thief-inspired stealth production aspects. The key gameplay element of Dishonored is to perform carefully planned murders. The developers put large emphasis on freedom of action which means that we can complete all tasks both by surprising our enemies and by engaging in direct fights against them.
Elements that prove incredibly useful while playing are considerable environment interaction and skillful use of various gadgets and the supernatural abilities of the protagonist that can be combined together to achieve various effects. For example, we can stop the time for a while, and then use another power to throw some objects from a table and thus generating noise. This will surely distract guards, while we can easily sneak behind their backs. What’s important, our enemies are gifted with an advanced artificial intelligence so they won’t always fall for our tricks.
Every problem in Dishonored can be solved in many ways, and the choice is always for the player to make. Our decisions aren’t of no consequence for the plot, of course. The game follows our behavior in an intelligent way, studying, among other things, how aggressive we are and how many damage and victims we leave behind. Depending on these factors, the system visibly influences the story and changes that happen in the game world.
Technical aspects
In comparison with the 2012’s original edition, Dishonored: Definitive Edition for PS4, PC and XONE is characterized by enhanced graphics that utilize the capabilities of the next-gen consoles. Moreover, all post-launch DLCs of the vanilla game, including two major expansions: The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches, come as an integral part of the Definitive Edition.
