Think Humphrey Bogart, if Humphrey Bogart were a <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/dishonored">Dishonored</a> character. Here are some things you can do: swim in midair, transform into vapour, stun alerted guards with pew-pew gestures, and chuck down telekinetic mats to serve as (usefully sound-absorbing) platforms.</p> <p>It might sound like a jumble, like one of those Marvel comicbook movesets they have to prune severely for the sake of a coherent film adaptation, but the whimsical stage magician hand animations and midnight jazz SFX absolutely sell the package. Instead of swinging a blackjack (noirjack?), you'll put mooks to sleep with a snap of your gloved fingers and a rattle of cymbals. Forget Bogart - this is Penn or Teller, whichever of them has springier knees.</p> <p><a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/thief-dishonored-and-philip-marlowe-combine-in-noirmancer-a-stealth-sim-that-lets-you-wipe-minds-with-a-snap-of-your-fingers">Read more</a></p>
