I have played Dishonored quite a bit too! Just never to completion :) I think Dishonored has some of the best gameplay mechanics ever and it is also really immersive. Prey I've never played, but I'll check it out. Ty!

Definitely check out Dishonored 2, as well, I think it's even better than the first one! There are many more options for non lethal playthroughs and there are two optional characters. I've played it from start to finish about 8 times, and never get tired of it.

Prey is fantastic too, and is from the same developer (Arkane Studios). It has quite a bit in common with System Shock, which was one of the earliest immersive sims.

I've been watching some Dishonored 2 and Prey gameplay videos based on the recommendation and they look great! Will definitely try them.

I'll pile on the Dishonored love thread: the mechanics and level design are world class, well worth your time in themselves. But the amazing parts are the stories and storytelling. You get to see both sides of every argument, and if you care to go through it again making different choices you'll experience the same stories but with a meaningfully different connotations.

That's not even getting into how the extensions/stand alone DLCs complement the main storylines.

TL;dr: If you've got 30-40h go crawling around Dishonored's universe a couple times. (Go Arkane studios!)

I loved the first dishonered. I found the story quite boring in the second one.
