It may even be possible to beat Dishonored without killing anyone, if you can use your powers intelligently enough.

The more violent you are, the more chaos you create, which means more rats, more guards and an even darker atmosphere. You can be as stealthy as you want to be, and as violent. Like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, you are encouraged to play the way you want. Finding stealthy routes into a target is really fun, and can get extremely tense as you wait for the right moment to silently slip behind a guard, undiscovered. While it's not a fully open world, each level is big, and there are a ton of things to see and places to explore in every one. The level design is both ingenious and beautuful, especially during the earlier levels. Add traditional weapons to this, and you have a fantastic arsenal at your command that you can use really creatively. Corvo's powers complicate the controls, but are great fun once you get used to them so are worth the trouble! You can stop time, possess people or animals, see through walls and teleport short distances. Playing Dishonored takes some getting used to.
