Stay in the shadows or step into the daylight to take on all foes – the choice is yours.

Death of the Outsider is the worst entry in the series. But the worst Dishonored is still a great bloody game!

Okay, cards on the table: I played this back when I was younger and broke, meaning yeah! it was a pirated copy. But even then, it left an impression. Coming back now with a different lens, I can still say this: Death of the Outsider is a damn fine game.
It keeps the slick, satisfying gameplay loop from Dishonored 2 and tightens it in all the right places. Movement feels great, the powers are fun to mess with, and stealth is still one of the best in the genre. One thing that really stood out to me this time: the AI is way sharper, especially on the higher difficulty settings. I actually had to think ahead, not just brute-force my way through like in Dishonored 2 sometimes.
But and it’s kind of a big but the main character just didn’t work for me. Billie Lurk is… well, not my ideal protagonist. I get the whole redemption arc they were aiming for, but she never clicked. I didn’t care about her past, I didn’t really buy the transformation, and most of the time I found myself thinking: “This would've hit harder if I was playing as Emily. Or Corvo. Hell, even Daud.”
It honestly feels like the whole game exists just to explain that one line from Billie to Emily in Dishonored 2: "Traveling with you has changed me." Which is fine, I guess. But it never emotionally landed.
So yeah. Great game. Great design. But with a lead character I couldn’t get behind, no matter how well the rest was executed!

The Dishonored series is very special. I prefer stealth over strength. Strategy over chance. The art style is very immersive. Story line is excellent. I keep hoping Dishonored 3 is on the horizon.

While perhaps not needed, a well made closure to the franchise of Dishonored.
To a degree the game felt like a DLC, but still managed to capture the feel, atmosphere and most importantly gameplay characteristics of Dishonored games.
Very fun. 🙂

The Weakest of the Dishonored games, but still epic and wonderful. I adore this franchise. This small game did not not disappoint.

It's basically a sequel to the Knife of Dunwall/Brigmore Witches DLCs from the first game. Short, simple, and keeps the slickness of dishonored. I personally would not recommend it for the story, but if you're really hankering for more Dishonored gameplay, then you'll probably enjoy it.
I'll give it a solid 6/10. Definitely doesn't have the charm of the first two games, in my honest opinion, but the gameplay is still solid. Maybe just get it on a good sale for the price you'd pay for a good DLC.

It is more Dishonored content, which is a plus, but as far as DLCs are concerned, Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches were way more fun to play, I think. Some ideas presented felt refreshing, but overall I have mixed feelings. As mentioned, more Dishonored content is great, but for what, at this point, is the close off for the series, I would have hoped for more.
