    The Knife of Dunwall is a very good DLC for a great game! [May 2013]

    This episode is the beginning for the Daud character, and offers an enjoyable alternative for Dishonored's storyline.

    Dishonored has a good DLC in The Knife of Dunwall. Daud's story begins, with average length, but some adjustments that make it fun to kill and hide. It's more accurate, and very dark and challenging.

    Revisiting Dunwall was very rewarding and also motivated me to complete the original campaign of this great game for the second time. [CD-Action 06/2013, p.77]

    After finishing Dishonored I wanted more, and The Knife of Dunwall gives me exactly that. Hell, at moments I even completely forgot that I was no longer playing Corvo, as both he and Daud do play in generally the same way.

    Don’t expect to witness the events of the original game in a new light. Daud, the new player character, has a story of his own that is spread thin over three disappointingly short missions.

    A very high-quality and interesting addition to the first part of the game. Before playing the second part, I advise you to go through this game.

Added about 6 hours of game play to the Dishonored and advanced a story that I wanted to hear Daud is an interesting character. The DLC plays much the same as the main game but at least Daud talks.

    For $10, adding 6 hours to a 25 hour game is not bad, although I purchased the main game on sale for $25 on Steam when it was on sale.

    Truly a great stealth game and a good story.

    The Knife of Dunwall is a solid DLC all around.

    The Knife of Dunwall is a solid DLC all around.
    Gameplay is the same as in the main game with few small changes, levels are a bit smaller and slightly less varied in terms of alternative approaches to goals, overall playthrough length is around 20% of the Dishonored campaign, which is fine for DLC. And the story was a bit better since it was less predictable and had more mystery to it.

    Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall, where you play as master assassin Daud, is a nice experience, instead of playing Corvo, who seeks revengeDishonored: The Knife of Dunwall, where you play as master assassin Daud, is a nice experience, instead of playing Corvo, who seeks revenge and to complete his noble quest, you instead play as Daud, who works for his own benefit. His weapon of choice is his assassins blade, wristbow, his equipment and a hint of dark magic. The Knife of Dunwall is quite a nice little campaign even though it's only 3 maps. Daud's own spells and weaponry are so much better than Corvos, which gives it more enjoyment. I definately recommend. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Примерное DLC с отличным балансом цены, продолжительности и наполнения. Тут мы примерим на себя роль киллера Дауда и взглянем на мир Dishonored так сказать "его глазами". Новые миссии за него сделаны не для галочки, а находятся как минимум на одном уровне с оригиналом. Так что, если вы кайфуете от игры, то приобретение/дозакачка двух дополнений строго обязательна, ведь тут помимо всего, раскрывается множество сюжетных моментов, которые были неочевидны и скрыты под покровом тайны.

    Got this in the summer steam sale. I think I would have given this a higher score if I hadn't just beaten Bioshock Infinite right beforehand.Got this in the summer steam sale. I think I would have given this a higher score if I hadn't just beaten Bioshock Infinite right beforehand. Comparatively, this one nowhere near as compelling, especially where the story is concerned. I didn't finish the game out of boredom and having gone to play something else. Expand
