In 2012, the Shame Generation broke into the eyes of players like a dark horse, IGN gave a high score of 9.2, in the situation of stealth games today, even Ubisoft has long given up the classic IP of cell division this stealth game, but the B Society is still on the road of counter-mainstream, in 2018 launched Shame 2, as a first-person assassination stealth game, Shame 2 is undoubtedly the evangelist who sneaks into the game at the moment, so that players understand that the original sneak can still play like this.
First, stealth assassination is the romance of assassins
The Shame series is different from the stealth like the subway, the German headquarters and even the 2077, that stealth is just a small element, there is no mature system at all, it belongs to The Head, it has a complete set of stealth gameplay, anesthesia, halo, and even corona, you can also rely on magic to avoid frontal combat, including time stop, possession, flash, and two-stage jump. With its excellent box-like map, the choice of routes can be described as countless, many house eaves, street lamps, sewers, windows, railings, only you can not think, there is no flying.
If you think it's just a pure stealth game, you'd be wrong, the freedom of shame is manifested not only in stealth, but also in killing. The killing system in Shame is excellent, basically the core pleasure of my post-play, and it's fun to arrange a well-planned slaughter show like a director.
One of the core systems in Dishonored 2 is the Imbalance system, where enemies can be killed with a knife in a single blow when they are out of balance. Things that can cause an imbalance include, but are not limited to, crossbow shots (not heads), sliding shovels, bouncing backs, pistol shots, head stomping, smashing bottles, small explosion shock injuries.
There is also a very interesting is the bloodthirsty system, after the bloodthirsty value is full, you can kill up to two people with a knife, which can also be interspersed with crossbow arrows and pistol switching, playing a bloodthirsty five-kill or even multi-kill advanced operation, which is very ornamental.
In addition, there is a very good physics system, crossbow arrows and parabolas of throwing objects are used to tease the enemy, and you can also use the enemy's AI to get them into the river, etc., the more you study, the more interesting it is.
Second, a gorgeous assassination requires a good level design
As a stealth game, map design is naturally an important part of determining the fun of playing. For this work, I think it can be evaluated as excellent, and even adding the word "very" in front of it is not too much. Shame 2 uses a semi-open game map design, in which players can play freely, and use their own interests to travel through the scene to reach the designated location and complete the task.
In the hierarchy of the map, this work is very powerful, many seemingly unattainable places can be used, the elements that can be explored, the space is also very rich, at first glance, ordinary streets, buildings, in fact, play down are hidden mysteries, those inadvertently found shortcuts, dark passages, all reflect the ingenuity of the production team, the key they are very cleverly integrated in the scene, not prominent.
In addition, this work has many chapter-limited features, "Shame 2" will be based on different maps to set its related and reasonable and interesting gameplay, such as the ever-changing mechanism castle, the sandstorm that affects the line of sight in the gravel area, and the timeline journey back and forth between the present and the past, these settings effectively increase the player's freshness, avoid the fatigue brought by the long-term routine, in a word, the shuttle and exploration between the scenes of shame 2 is simply enjoyment.
Killing or redemption?
Choose to accompany each step of the game. You can choose your own game style, whether to sneak all the way or the Berserker piece of armor to stay, you can choose how the mission is completed, and even choose the final boss to kill or not to kill, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the variety of choices that have achieved the status of the "Shame" series of gods.
The chaotic design makes players love and hate it. What you do in the game will affect the chaos of the game world, and the higher the chaos, the darker the final ending. There are 3 different endings in The First Generation, and the fates of Corvo and the Princess are also very different, and the second generation requires players to experience and discover for themselves. The more people you usually kill in the game, the higher the degree of chaos, and at the same time, if you hide the body after killing people and are not discovered by your companions, it will reduce people's panic and reduce the degree of chaos.
What kind of people can be redeemed? What kind of person can get forgiveness? In a peaceful and civilized environment, legal and moral constraints are the criteria for judging a person. And in the chaos that games create for us, rules and the rule of law are often suppressed by power, and as many games want to emphasize "do whatever you want", no one in Dishonored will hinder the player's decision. No character asks the player how to deal with the enemy, but when everyone is caught in a crazy vortex, those who can stick to their bottom line may be the ones who can really turn the tide.
