It slips into nine chapters and as many locales in the role of the imperial bodyguard Corvo attano who is unjustly accused of murder of the Empress of the island kingdom of Dunwall, and for himself and a group of Imperialists on a vendetta against the lousy Lord Regent plus cronies and goes for the underage heir Emily.
The quite simple held mission objectives vary case of assassinations, kidnappings and rescue missions. By the way you can, of course, valuables and blueprints and runes and bone artifacts that can be found on the road nicked.
In addition to an arsenal of swords, gun, mini crossbow and grenades you have, thanks to interference of the old pagan deity "The Outsider" of comes in the game in the guise of beatniks in the 1950s, via magical abilities that looking through through walls, short-range teleportation and allows manipulation of opponents.
The story is rather weak, but at least contains even a turning point. The atmosphere is not enough to the old Thief games approach because the world of Dunwall being evil from various eras zusammengestoppelt (Victorian era, present and future with some medieval and ancient occultism) comes along and also to make the overload completely. is afflicted by a serious disease and rat infestation.
The gameplay itself is, after all, and it's appealing, like Thief, fun to sneak around the guards or to bypass them in secret. Playing time of the main game is about 20 hours.
The addon "The Knife of Dunwall" and "The Brigemore Witches" are to be regarded as a unit in which one takes on the role of the empresses murderer and master assassin Daud and time to tackle approximately parallel to Corvos vendetta another threat to the empire extending from the ominous witch Delilah has.
Here are three very interesting chapter to insist with a slightly different arsenal of weapons and abilities, and the story is not just here too convincing. The duration of the two parts I would estimate at 10-12 hours.
In addition, "Dunwall City Trials" brings a number of very funny mini scenarios where you can let off steam in certain creep and elimination skills again. This includes 10 normal and 6 experts tasks that you can also play to cope with the normal challenges yet.
Overall, the Game of the Year Edition offers so 30 + x hours of gameplay, a good and contemporary graphics and interesting although not overly atmospheric emissions. The overall story is, as well as places the opponents behavior, albeit rather weak which must clearly lead to a star deduction. The playing time is sized a bit short for a main game plus 3 addons.
Nevertheless, I forgive in the end rounded 4 stars for this overall very entertaining and little frustrating end game.
Entering the Steam code and the download was performed without any problems.
Positive was also the remained my 5 euros a bonus and saves the item was located just in a low price phase.
