Leaderboards give the pack significant replay value. [March 2013, p.81]
As a whole, the Dishonored: Dunwall City Trials DLC pack is fairly good. There's balance in the number and variety of events, and while there are some challenges that fare much better than others, there's more good than bad here.
The four or five challenges that click are easily worth the DLC's reasonable price. However, this DLC feels similar to the time trials in Mirror's Edge. Even though it's quality content it simply may not be what you want or expect. However, at such a price, I encourage you to jump in and find out for yourself.

Un DLC pour le bon Dishonored (premier du nom), a priori, on ne dit pas non… puis après avoir testé, puis pesté devant cette espèce de… daube, a posteriori, on refuse catégoriquement ! car en effet, il ne s’agit que de 10 défis à la con, du remplissage inutile qui ne passe même pas le temps agréablement, (très) loin de là même ! C’est fortement déplaisant puisqu’on ne peut pas sauvegarder et que la plupart des défis sont idiots, voire beaucoup trop arcades (ce qui est encore pire !) et donc en temps limité. Sans enjeu, sans scénario, le jeu perd de toute façon toute sa saveur, sauf sans (aucun) doute pour ceux qui aiment recommencer (sans arrêt) les épreuves afin de viser le meilleur résultat et d’obtenir toutes les ‘étoiles’… Ceux-là sont des prétentieux et des masochistes (et/ou des autistes, bien entendu), qui doivent consulter des spécialistes afin de se faire soigner sans ****. On les reconnaît par ailleurs sans peine, ils jouent ou tentent de « jouer » (entre guillemets) à des saloperies qui soûlent à n’en plus pouvoir, les soûleries qui soûlent à mort, ces ultra daubes démoulées par From ****, les cinglés sado-masos. Mais je m’égare… revenons à nos moutons ou plutôt à ce DLC très merdique qui n’a décidément aucun mais vraiment aucun putain d’intérêt ! immense déception bien sûr et la note (finale) en est assurément le reflet le plus fidèle.

Dunwall City Trials tests the players skills pretty well, but it loses what made the original dishonored so great: The world. For DLC named after the city, none of the atmosphere, creepiness or immersion of Dunwall appear, and it will put off many players for that reason. for those after a challenge mode without any notion of story

If you want to find out how well you've mastered Dishonored's stealth, combat, and mobility then consider Dunwall City Trials your crucible.

Taking a "glass half full" approach, you could say that this rather unwieldy spread of mini-games and challenges offers something for everyone, regardless of your style of play. Alternatively, you could bemoan the way that the game's strongest elements are the ones reduced to a couple of trials, and that these are the best ones with the most replay value.

At its best when it's closest to recreating the feel of Dishonored, but it's not always at its best.

These challenges fall into four different mission types: stealth, combat, mobility, and puzzle. Some are a lot of fun, but some are just time-wasters. For $5, the value is here, but this isn't the Dishonored DLC that fans really wanted.

This DLC is an insult to the game. I cannot believe the devs remotely thought this would be fun. Almost all the challenges (to get 3 stars) and achievements are luck based. Read the forums and everybody (I mean everybody) is complaining. When devs think luck should trump skill there is something very wrong. The trials sound like a good idea and the challenges themselves seem reasonable. But in order to get 3 stars you have to do stupid stuff like not use any powers (which completely defeats the purpose of implementing them in the game) and a lot depends upon luck. Example 1 to get an achievement you have to survive 12 waves of enemies. During each wave you have to kill each enemy yourself. In a wave there are different factions that will try to kill each other. If any enemy kills another you have to start over. You start out with no powers and almost no ammo. Tallboys get thrown in at the end. Irrelevant of your skill a simple random spawning of 2 enemies next to each other ruins your chance of the achievement. Good luck. Example 2 You have to kill a target without being spotted. To get 3 stars you have to do so in under 3 minutes, using no powers, knocking no one out and only finding 3 clues. The target is random each time and the clues randomly appear in the area. A specific area has 4 people in it at all times. If you're spotted you lose. Luck determines where the clues spawn such that you might not even get to them. Even if you get 3 clues it still doesn't uniquely identify the target so you have to take a guess as to who it might be. The list goes on. Why devs thought this would be fun is beyond me. It is an insult to an otherwise great game. Did anybody even bother to playtest this before they released it? Can any of the devs actually beat their own DLC reliably? I doubt it.
