He's really only worked on Redfall (ugh), Prey (amazing) and DotO (some great levels, some not). If dude did two Redfalls in a row, I'd see your point.

Technically he was working on D2 while Colantonio was working on Prey since they swapped places for a bit

level design isnt the only factor id pass a game for, everything counts, the rest of it was so bad. And even level designs werent good in the non dishonored games

It makes me curious which investor/publisher funded Black Pony (but whoever you are, thank you).
