Arkane Studios managed to break the mould with Dishonored. A fantastic stealth-based title that wears its influences on its sleeve, you play as Corvo Attano, a shamed assassin tasked with dispatching high-profile targets with the powers of The Outsider, allowing you to teleport, summon rats and even bend time to your whim to set up satisfying assassinations.

One of the best moments in the game comes at Lady Boyle's Mansion; a garish masquerade ball thrown by one of the Lord Regent's most ardent supporters. The trick is that there are three Boyle sisters, and you must identify which one is the mark so you don't fail the mission.

This level might not be the most bombastic in the game in terms of size and layout, but the way it slows the game down to a halt as you must act natural to conceal your identity and investigate the mystery really adds a lot of character to it. There are a wide number of ways to resolve the problem, but each is intriguing and fun to play through.

You must try your best not to soak up the festivity of the lavish party that you really shouldn't be attending...
