3. The Setting
The newly developed world of Dunwall is a tantalising prospect, merging the historical setting of Assassins Creed (Dunwall is based on plague era London), the more restrained, story focused open world of GTA whilst also offering the looting and breaking and entering of Skyrim; this is an environment well built, interestingly developed and one we can explore in earnest. The stealth aspect of the game means the player has the freedom of every rooftop and every angle of the world which thus gives us free reign; and Arkane respect this by beautifully designing every aspect of this world which will combine historically based landscapes with a technological edge.
