From the review: "Knife of Dunwall is relatively short, has a story that makes no sense, makes no attempt at explaining basic plot points, and features gameplay that seems strangely lackluster relative to last October’s Dishonored. If Daud killed videogames, Knife of Dunwall would be on his hit-list. "
EDGE - Richard Wordsworth is still stalking the streets of Dunwall, trying not to stray too far from the nobler end of its moral compass.
Making a summer backlog list tonight. This is going in for sure. My reality checks need to be in place now. Only 2 weeks till E3.
overrated just like bioshock infinite.
Don't get me wrong they are ok games, but not as good as many make them out to be.
What exactly were you expecting from this game then, to earn an "overrated" title? Absolute perfection? Did you even play through the whole game?
Watching the world/story mold to how you played was great, and the options the player got on how to tackle objectives gave freedom to the gamer that many open world games lack (and this was chapter/level based). Add on to that a cool art style that disregards the apparent need for hyper-realism in today's video game market and an atmospheric soundtrack...I'm really not sure how it was "overrated" or just "ok".
You are entitled to your opinion though, even if many gamers disagree with it.
Join us as we once again dive into the infested alleyways of Dunwall in our review of Dishonored's first piece of single player story content, The Knife of Dunwall.
As soon as they step into the blood-soaked boots of the master assassin Daud, The Knife of Dunwall’s protagonist, players will remember what made Dishonored so great. Released a scant half-year ago, Dishonored captured our grimy, murderous hearts with its exciting, innovative gameplay, gorgeous design, and unusual world. This time around, as players control the infamous assassin whose murder of the empress served as the original game’s catalyst, they will once again be treated to these splendid traits.
