Dishonored: Dunwall City Trials Review (G0d c0мpl3x Mecho)
This DLC has no story and acts as a sort of Challenge Series towards the game. Here you have different types of missions like
Loot as much as possible without being spotted.
Find clues and assassinate the correct target.
Puzzle levels
Traversal levels where you need to go thru checkpoints.
Shoot explosive barrels in multiple waves.
Kill all your opponents in multiple waves and survive as much as you can.
Its like a sandbox, it doesn't have the same atmosphere as the main game, everything seems fake because its a level with no background, flying in the sky out in the middle of nowhere. But the challenges are really fun to do, a lot of diversity.
But why does it have soooo many negative reviews???? Well i experienced myself and now i know why. The levels have an Easy and a Hard version. The Hard versions change a lot of things making it from a bit harder to extremely frustrating and time consuming. And all levels have a 3 star rating to rate your performance. Gaining 3 stars on some levels can be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND RNG BASED. Now lets focus on the achievements. Most of the achievements for this DLC are ONE OF THE MOST HARD AND RNG BASED ACHIEVEMENTS IN 90% OF THE GAMES I'VE PLAYED. Even with the massive help of youtube a single achievement may (and definitely will) take you at least an hour of non stop trial and error to achieve.
1. By my hand alone - Get to wave 13 and kill everyone yourself. Sounds easy? Yeah the problem is you need to kill 50+ enemies and to do it before they kill each other. And the moment they spawn they attack each other.... You literally need to remember every waves spawn positions and prey that they don't kill each other before you do.
2. Headhunter - 100% accuracy using only headshots. Sounds Easy? Wrong. You need to be extra precise and hit them in the head. Several enemies have a lean animation while reading a book and for some reason the heads hit box is really broken. If you alert them or someone sees a corpse they move faster and make it hard to hit them in the head. Theres 2 enemies that spawn alerted and start shooting and moving rapidly and are very hard to headshot. If you miss a single shot the achievment is over. And all that can be done easily with practice. EXCEPT FOR 1 SINGLE GUY.... A guy constantly walking on a rising spiral staircase very far away from you..... If you aim at his head, you will shoot his lower back or legs.... Even with the help of youtube and a perfect line up its really luck based. (and this guy is at 70-80% of the levels progress)
If you casually play the dlc, you will have fun. If you are a completionist that wants all 3 stars on every level and all achievements, you will have a really unpleasant time.
