Dishonored is Arkane's worst game, yet in typical modern gaming fashion is their most popular one. Though it is the one game that got good marketing behind it which explains a lot in that regard.
Arx Fatalis >> Prey >= Dark Messiah >> Dishonored
And yes, Thief is better than Dishonored. Dishonored is just boring. It's too easy and handholdey. It excells at nothing. Has zero likable characters. Level design is repetitive (you rarely deviate from the streets of Dunwall). Has RPG systems and exploration but it's weak as fuck and unnecessary past 1/3rd in as you just get more OP. I don't remember a single segment from the game's soundtrack. I am not crazy about Thief like some here but putting Dishonored on the same level let alone above it is just nonsense. Everything in Thief, while there isn't a great deal, is purposeful, cohesive and meaningful for the most part. And it just has so much more style and character.
Never played dark messiah but i agree with the rating.
This comes from a guy who love dishonored.
I dont agree dishonores level design is repetitive. Dunwall is awesome, the problem is they are a tad too small because it was accustomed to last gen consoles processing power.
It is only hand holdy if you abuse the shit of your powers and turn on the waypoints.
D2 is actually an excellent game much better than D1. Tons of memorable levels, better and polished mechanics.
