Overview
Description

Set in the industrial city of Dunwall, Dishonored puts you in the shoes of Corvo Attano, a royal protector framed for murder. Use a blend of stealth, combat, and supernatural abilities to exact revenge and uncover conspiracies. The game rewards creative problem‑solving, letting you approach each mission with lethal precision or silent finesse, while your moral choices reshape the world around you.

Skyrim is Bethesda’s landmark open-world RPG set in a Nordic fantasy province, known for its freeform exploration, dragon-shouting Dragonborn, and an enormous modding community that keeps it alive over a decade later.

Good but flawed

Picked up The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim recently. Upside: enormous freedom. Downside: bugs without mods.
