Dishonored®: Death of the Outsider™

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 greatest games on earth i have ever played, are those I gave up on. I uninstalled this twice years ago, because I just could not get past one task and get to grips what this game was about. Which is really dumb. Because I loved the first one. This even beats the first one hands down for me. This is the greatest stealth game I have ever played. Im only half way through it and still keep doing the same missions over and over again, they're just so much fun and there are so many paths and outcomes you can choose from time and time again.

Killing the Outsider felt more like deleting a moody poetry blog than slaying a god. He just wanted to hang out in his void-bedroom and judge people. We’ve all been there.

Definitely worth a play if you're craving for more dishonored. I'm actually liking it more than DH2 is some aspects.

Maybe not as great as first Dishonored but still worth to play

The weakest part of the whole franchise. The devs were being lazy by reusing maps, I was expecting dlc with new assets. And why is mission 2 and mission 3 played in the same map?

Even though it is quite a short game, I still had alot of fun with it.

It's really fun. It is a small game, but honestly if you enjoyed the other Dishonored games, its worth it. Personally, I find it to be the most re-playable of the Dishonored games. (rip the chaos system)

It's an another Dishonored and it's once again great: visuals, atmosphere, characters, level design, stealth gameplay

Good game with interesting story.

It's.....good. Good but mixed. Level design and # of ways you can play are varied and well designed just like the rest of the franchise. Appreciate the little callbacks to the earlier games like with Duke Abele's painting and things such as. I actually enjoyed having a more limited set of powers and working within them to get shit done. Unfortunately the weakest part is the characters imo. Nice to have Billie and Daud back but as characters they just weren't very interesting. And the melodramatics and "philosophy" just get a bit tiring imo. the ending is also very anti-climactic. Your options are either [spoiler]stab the outsider or convince Daud to let the Outsider go, with a little bit of added dialogue depending on your choice. it is cute how the mark is really just the outsider's name lost to time and history. but either way it ends in the same line about how "the Outsider is gone but the void's still there and hey who knows somebody just be affected by it" as if to set up future entries but like. It's been 8 years. Sadly I don't think we're getting anything else anytime soon. it just feels bad to have it end in that way, cut to main menu and that's it.[/spoiler] in the end, worth playing for fans of the franchise, hard to recommend to anyone else
