As you venture deep into the grimiest corners of Karnaca to uncover the mystery of the Outsider and his origins, you will face deadly opposition, ancient powers, and difficult decisions that will forever change the world around you. Stay in the shadows or step into the daylight to take on all foes – the choice is yours. Equipped with a unique set of supernatural abilities, gadgets, and weapons, you can approach each situation in your own way. Use your abilities and skills to sneak through environments unseen or brutally eliminate all opposition in your way.

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

The game is fun, I recommend it.
But I don't recommend playing this one if it's your first time playing the Dishonored series.
You should play 1 and 2 first, then Death of the Outsider.
Although it's the latest installment.
Honestly, it's just a standalone DLC for Dishonored 2.
In terms of the number of levels, it's inferior to Dishonored 1.
In terms of level design, playability, and replayability, it's inferior to Dishonored 2.
(To be precise, I personally feel that the level design is on par with Dishonored 2, it just lacks maps that can rival the two most famous, god-like map designs in Dishonored 2: The Clockwork Mansion and A Crack in the Slab.)
In short, this game is very short and can only be considered a supplement to the world-building.
I completed 100% achievement in 10 hours.
If you focus on the main quest, you'll only get faster.
However, the story is very epic.
Plot: It brings an end to the supernatural era.
If Dishonored 1 was about revenge, and Dishonored 2 was about reclaiming the throne.
Then Death of the Outsider is about:
"Why did all this happen?"
This is the first time the series focuses on the Outsider itself.
This mysterious and dangerous being is not an omniscient and omnipotent god, but more like a tragic figure imprisoned by fate.
Your mission, as the title suggests, is to assassinate the Outsider or save him.

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 this isn't the better than the other two dishonored games, there still isn't enough games with the greatness that is the 'play your own way' style with great stealth mechanics and fun traversal powers.

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's more Dishonored, in a good way. It's more a DLC than a standalone game, so buy it cheap.
It has all the trademarks of Dishonored. There's plenty of ways to accomplish your goals, and how to get there. There's a fair amount of lore to add on to the story. Old game plus was even better than the first time through. Having a mix of older powers, with the new are even better.
It's a shame this series died the death it did.
