    The Knife of Dunwall is the kind of DLC a game like Dishonored deserves.

    Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall is an example of how to do story-based DLC correctly.

    If there's anything that vanilla Dishonored could have offered more of, it's Dunwall. With two new locations - a stinking whale slaughterhouse, and an area called the legal district - you get some excellent new places to see, so it's disappointing to retread ground in the final mission.

    A finely crafted DLC that delivers more of the same great gameplay of the original title with some interesting new mechanics and gadgets thrown into the mix.

    For fans of Dishonored, Knife of Dunwall does not disappoint. And for those less infatuated than I, the Daud DLC may offer a promising look at the series’ potential. Unfortunately, Knife of Dunwall’s across-the-board improvements are incremental at best.

    'The Knife of Dunwall' isn't a bad piece of downloadable content, and is in fact good value for money if you're into collecting everything or playing higher difficulty levels. It's fun at times for the same reasons the main game was.

Everything in my review is suited for me. I gave this a 10/10 not because I think it is perfect, but because metacritic doesn't let you rate 9.5

    Knife of Dunwall's gameplay is the same as Dishonored just with a few new neat tricks, that being said, don't expect much. Overall the plot line is interesting, and allows you to make moral decisions, just as shown in the original game.

    My problems with this DLC: it is only 3 missions, you can play this amazing game over and over, but when your stuck circle jerking yourself trying to find the moral hazards of your decisions, it is terrible that we have to see the same environments over and over    … Expand

    The new Dishonored dlc is here! Dishonored being one of my favourite games of 2012. So is the dlc worth getting or pasting? Well I can sayThe new Dishonored dlc is here! Dishonored being one of my favourite games of 2012. So is the dlc worth getting or pasting? Well I can say that this is a really good dlc for fans of dishonored. You play as Duad, the man who really ruined Corvo's life Corvo's the chractor you play as in the Dishonored campaign). We got new locations that are not in the Dishoned campaign. Instead of summon rats, we got a power called summon an assassin witch will help you in combat, witch is a nice small change. Your actions still means if you get up to two outcomes witch makes this dlc have replay value. One thing I didn't like was how their were only three missions in total and one of those missions were short, witch means if you don't replay the dlc you may have bought a realy good, overpriced dlc. Overall really good dlc with replay value and worth getting with some money. Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall 8.2/10… Expand

    Story was OK. But I am glad that this is over. I didn't like Daud, and it was a bit harder for doing this on low chaos. So I switched to HighStory was OK. But I am glad that this is over.
