The first story-based expansion is finally available for Bethesda's smash hit Dishonored, but is the return visit to Dunwall as good as the original?

The city of Dunwall is still a huge achievement in creative design, and the core gameplay is as compelling as ever; Higher difficultly will test even veteran players

Daud isn't as interesting a character a Corvo, in terms of abilities or personality; Missed opportunities in storytelling, and too much reliance on recycled assets

Many Dishonored fans will undoubtedly be disappointed that the game's first DLC does not provide any new adventures for Corvo or give players the chance to further explore the fascinating Dunwall and the world it inhabits.

A collection of ten trials, you say? Like speed runs and stealth tests and slow-motion slaughter-fests and other such fun? Shouldn't these activities have been included as part of the main game's assortment of unlocks from the get-go? The bloody cheek of it. The sheer, unbridled nerve.

The Knife of Dunwall places you in the silent shroud of master assassin Daud, who played a crucial role in the events of Dishonored . Tasked with assassinations and uncovering information about the mysterious Delilah, Daud is bolstered by his fellow shadowy assassins.

As a worthy companion story to Dishonored , The Knife of Dunwall is a terrific example of high-quality DLC that intelligently improves upon the core material while retaining what made it great in the first place.

I decided to pick up this game because it was $13 bucks. You couldn't beat the price.. .that is until I realized I could have gotten it for free from...

Action/Stealth The bed-chambers of Buckingham Palace must be copiously supplied with blindfolds! Say, do you remember ? Well, Arkane Studios sure as shit do as what we have here is a fully-fledged ‘spiritual sequel' complete with all the modern bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern...

"This is a game I bought just before Christmas 2012 but due to getting others such as Skyrim at the same time it ended up being forgotten about.Now at the minute I am very much trying to have a clear out in all areas of the house and I somehow managed to get this game on pc and xbox.
