Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
Take on the role of Billie Lurk (aka Megan Foster), once one of Dunwall's most notorious killers-for-hire. Reunited with your old mentor, the legendary assassin Daud, you undertake the greatest assassination ever conceived: killing the Outsider, a god-like figure whom Billie and Daud see as instrumental to some of the Empire's most dishonorable moments. 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.

DotO is to Dishonored 2 what Knife of Dunwall is to Dishonored 1. The problem is, DotO markets itself as its own game, not a DLC/expansion for Dishonored 2 because it's waaaaay too narratively important to be just a DLC. Some aspects are pretty so-so, but don't trust people who say playing this game is a waste of time. If it's any consolation. This game is much MUCH easier to 100% then the hell that is Dishonored 1...

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.

Good:
‣ Graphically, the game still looks great.
‣ Gameplay is just as fun as Dishonored 2.
‣ Pretty good story that ties up the series nicely, with two available endings.
‣ Reuses a map from Dishonored 2, but transforms it into something different. I actually liked this idea.
‣ You can talk to rats.
‣ New Game+.
Mixed:
‣ Simpler than the previous games due to having less content and fewer approaches. I don't completely mind it, but I kept comparing it to Dishonored 2, which offered much more freedom.
‣ No Chaos system. It makes sense since you're playing Billie, who's already an assassin, but the Chaos system is an iconic part of the series that its absence is noticeable (*i did my first mission fully on stealth because i didn't know theres no chaos system.(
Bad:
‣ Less content than the previous games.
‣ Fewer approaches than Dishonored 2.
Overall, if you played the other Dishonored games for the story, this one is a no-brainer. It reveals more about the Void and the Outsider while providing a satisfying conclusion to the series. If you haven't played the previous games, though, don't start with this one, as the story won't make much sense. I'd also recommend waiting for a sale, since it goes on sale quite frequently.

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