Emypre: Lords of the Sea Gates had one of the coolest ideas I’d heard of all year. A concept in which 1900s New York had its technological Golden Age washed away as the city drowned in a massive flood. What remains are those skyscrapers that stood tall enough to weather the storm, as well as those people lucky enough to climb above the waterline before it was too late. With a little bit of Fallout and a little bit of Bioshock, Empyre could have been a unique IP worth diving head-first into.
For three titles now, the Dishonored franchise has portrayed a world of rampant greed that hides behind velvet and brass. The corrupt elite, they dress like royalty and sit in high towers, far away from the festering muck below. While Dishonored and Dishonored 2 gave the player a chance to send some of those high towers crashing down, I didn’t feel like I was doing any real justice until I was in the shoes of Billie Lurk during my time with Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.
When you first hop into the world of Figment, you’re delving into someone’s mind. While this world space may be reminiscent of other modern isometrics like Bastion, it’s completely unique in its portrayal, and quite beautiful too. There’s something off about this place, but it’s still a place of pleasant dreams and nostalgic memories. Everywhere you travel, you’re surrounded by the life of another and the things they hold dear.
