First of all, this is one of the best games I've played in my whole life. It's insane. The formula: Deus Ex: HR + Bioshock. Deus Ex:HR was my last year's personal GOTY, and Bioshock is an excellent and original game that earned a lot of praise. As a gamer I've witnessed many times disastrous results from combining two good games. Actually, it's hard to choose the elements that would mix well from two outstanding games, but Dishonored formula was worked to perfection.
I'll try to explain the aspects that make this game a masterpiece:

1 - Freedom: This game sets you free. Every quest has several ways to be completed. It's up to you to CHOOSE the way to wind up the targets. Notice that your decisions will have a huge impact in the plot development. Also, you are free to explore every corner of a beautiful yet dark place like Dunwall...

2 - Artistic design: The artistic design is mindblowing. It's so good that this game doesn't need ambient music to transmit any atmosphere, every corner of Dishonored's world does it for you. The "world" of this game is an industrial city called Dunwall, beautifully crafted with a steampunk look. The streets and sewers make you feel the dark and dangerous place Dunwall has become due to a plague of rats. The indoor scenarios vary from a lower class people destroyed apartment to a luxurious palace. You can see there is hard work behind these awesome places. This game deserves special recognition in this aspect...

3 - Gameplay: This a stealth action game. In this aspect it reminds a lot of Deus Ex: HR, which is pretty cool. You will interact with the environment to know more about Dunwall, hide from the enemy, find secret places, etc... It's awesome.

4 - Abilities: The abilities you possess in this game are chosen perfectly. They make the game funnier and open a lot of new possibilities to explore the world and complete tasks. You'll be able to upgrade them with runes. I don't want to write spoilers, all I can tell you is that the upgrade system is pretty cool.

5 - Chaos level: The idea of the chaos level is awesome. It doesn't just change the gameplay in some sections, but also adds a replayability factor.

6 - Plot: I will only say three words because I don't want to spoil the game for you. Magnificent. Masterpiece. Brilliant.

I have enjoyed this game so much that I'm still pumped about it...
I totally think this game should be the GOTY this year.
100% recommended to every gamer, and if you are a stealth action fan this is a MUST HAVE.
