Dishonored

[Kurshok]

I am thinking about buying the games Dishonored and Dishonored 2, because the setting, I have been told, is similar the Thief. Can anyone else here vouch for this game?

[New Horizon]

They are different games, but the influences are definitely there. I wouldn't call Dishonoured a simulation, like Thief. It will give you Thief vibes though, for sure. Grab it.

[Oldjim]

if you do get Dishonored the two DLC's Brigmore Witches and Knife of Dunwall are also worth getting

[Destined]

Agreed. These games are among the best current stealth games (especially AAA). The setting is indeed comparable: It's very low-tech (not really steampunk, but still at the beginnings of elictricity) and quite grimy.

Only get Dishonored 2 if you have a decent gaming rig, with recommended specs or higher. Dishonored 1 runs fine even on older laptops. And Jim is right, get the GOTY edition, as DLC is even more focused and has better story than the campaign. Both instalments indeed use systemic design and immersive sim approach, but the stealth isn't main focus. Playing as chaotic psychopath is equally, if not more rewarding. There's a bit more balance towards that in Dis 2.

Kurshok: I would suggest you to find an offer with both games. I'm not sure, but I hope that some e-stores might still have pre-order keys for Dishonored 2 with Dishonored 1 GOTY/Definitive Edition as a bonus.
