Not as consistently intricate or surprising as Dishonored 2, but still a worthy epilogue that adds depth and atmosphere to the series' world.

A morbid, potent epilogue for Dishonored 2 equipped with new powers, some great locations and some overdue tweaks.

It was wonderfully satisfying to have more Dishonored to play, even if Death of the Outsider doesn't quite meet the high bar Dishonored 2 set in story or mission design.

The Dishonored saga comes to an elegant, if not entirely satisfying, end with a spin-off adventure that is almost as good as its full price predecessor.

Death Of The Outsider is a great standalone expansion that delivers the enthralling open-ended gameplay Dishonored fans have to expect

Dishonored: Death Of The Outsider is a solid, inventive, yet somewhat subdued capper to the stories from the previous Dishonored games. While the smaller scope can be felt throughout, the approach to allowing players to express themselves as a master assassin is just as strong as ever.

Death of the Outsider offers a standard take on the Dishonored formula, tracking closely to its admirable ethos of freedom and choice in a world of subtleties and illusions. It's a decent finale with a solid central character. But it makes little attempt to try anything new, a sign that all the best ideas are likely going into whatever comes next.

Ultimately, Death of the Outsider is just more Dishonored. Dishonored excels at being a blank slate for players' creativity, and while Death of the Outsider doesn't do anything to change that, it doesn't ruin a good thing.

By the time Death of the Outsider comes to a close, Billie's gone through the ringer. It's not the longest expansion out there, and it seems to miss a step or two in the main plot, but there's more than enough for anyone who appreciated the moment-to-moment formula of Dishonored 2. Billie Lurk never had it easy, but after her last job, it's finally time to rest. And that's more than a fitting farewell for one of the best video game franchises in recent memory.

Death of the Outsider might be smaller in scope (and launch price) than the first two games, yet Arkane has crafted a game that meets the quality of design found in those games. It takes the best bits of the series and improves them, putting together a story that feels personal despite its huge ambition and featuring what may be the best Dishonored protagonist yet. If Death of the Outsider ends up being the closing chapter for the Dishonored series, then it is a truly fitting conclusion.

Dishonored Death of the Outsider has enought playable novelties to be attractive and helps to known the story of one of the most interesting characters in the saga. Good Work from Arkane Studios with this independent DLC.

Tense stealth? Check. High stakes supernatural shizzle? Check. Terrifying enemies? Check. You're good to go, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a stand-alone DLC that slightly slows down the Dishonored 2 gaming formula with convincing and exciting results.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider frees itself from the franchise's usual restrictions, while putting its usual tools to satisfying use. Buy it.

A new chance to visit Karnaca and to infiltrate ourselves in its dark streets. A game full of shadows and the option of choosing action and fight as a final resource in case we are detected. Shorter than Dishonored 2 but also fun and deep.

A fantastic expansion to an excellent game, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a macabre joy to play from start to finish.

For an expansion that took nearly an entire year to arrive and priced at a premium, Death of the Outsider fails to deliver.

I might not have enjoyed it quite as perfectly as Dishonored 2, but Death of the Outsider is a fittingly melancholy way to wrap up a story arc I've loved. The Empire of the Isles is a strange and exquisitely horrible world, and this entry is no different.

It's a shorter tale full of high-points, and wraps up lingering storylines while also leaving the door open for further adventures in the world of Dunwall, Karnaca and beyond.
