Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall is the best kind of DLC; it augments the original story but doesn't feel like it was removed from it to make a cheap dollar. It is more without making the rest lesser. Better yet, it provides something of an alternate perspective with new areas to explore and encounters with The Outsider and his influence outside of Corvo's. All in all, for anyone who enjoyed the main quest I highly recommend purchasing the DLC.

Critic reviews
- 9.0Knife of Dunwall sharpens Dishonored’s storytelling and combat in one slice
- 8.0The Knife of Dunwall takes an already great game and pushes it in an unexpected direction – playing as the bad guy. Although the story is a little spotty, the sense of openness and discovery are refreshing, especially in what is largely a linear experience. The new and modified abilities keep things feeling fresh, and fans of the main game would be remiss to pass the Knife of Dunwall up. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing Daud’s story.
- 8.5The Knife of Dunwall ends with an interesting choice (and foreshadows the next planned downloadable chapter in Daud's story), but the real payoff of this DLC is how it takes the cocktail of discovery, exploration, and combat that made Dishonored so delicious, and adds an engaging twist.
- 8.0After 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. The promise of more DLC has me excited, if not to finish Daud's adventure, then to explore more of this detailed world, and embark on more devilishly challenging assassinations.
- 7.8That this pack was sliced in half is its biggest detriment, and it’s a shame that it will leave players feeling relatively unsatisfied. But Dunwall is worth revisiting, and Arkane has offered up a fairly strong return trip.
