15 Intricate Hand Animations in Games

Dishonored 2

The first game was already pretty great when it came to animating assassinations and Dishonored 2 continues that tradition. Emily Kaldwin arguably comes across as more brutal, grabbing enemy heads and smashing them into the ground along with slicing throats and limbs. Seeing her Shadow Walk is also particularly impressive as she scampers across the floor and drags her victims close. Of course, Corvo has some great animations as well, like sliding the blade around a target’s throat from behind and pulling it until their head comes off.
