Dishonored: Brigmore Witches - Preview @ StrategyInformer

by Couchpotato, 2013-08-20 00:32:26

StrategyInformer has posted their review for the Dishonored DLC: Brigmore Witches, and giving it a score of 8.5/10.

Combined with The Knife of Dunwall, The Brigmore Witches and the story of Daud is exactly what Dishonored’s DLC needed to be – a fun side-story with an interesting character that adds to the main story but doesn’t take anything away. The story of Daud’s redemption is pretty well told in the few hours it takes to complete (depending as ever on your play-style), adding some full supernatural dealings to Dunwall but always keeping to the series’ intriguing canon, and ends on arguably a higher note than Dishonored itself (which always had a slightly predictable story and never really accepted non-lethal “neutralizations”).

That some areas are reused from the main game was disappointing in Knife but done much better in Brigmore, and the new areas are a great mix of well-designed classic (the city-bound Drapers Ward) and the completely new (green and terrifying Brigmore Manor). Minor disappointments aside, if you enjoyed Dishonored you really need to play Daud’s story – and The Brigmore Witches is the stronger of the two-parter.
