Dishonored: Death of the Outsider Reviews
Even after stripping out some of the complexities of full games, Death of the Outsider still has much of the substance of a full Dishonored experience.
Arkane's standalone game is a bit of an indulgence, but it offers a beautifully dark and detailed world of grand interiors and dimly lit streets to get lost in
Death of the Outside is almost an expansion rather than a trivial additional content, perfectly reflecting the expectations of enthusiasts. Always excellent gameplay, flanked by a story perhaps a little too hasty.

Dishonored: Death of The Outsider is a great follow up to Dishonored 2. It offers a really rich experience with a fair amount of replay value—which is really rare in add-on content these days.
Death of the Outsider is a fun, bite sized Dishonored game that opened my eyes to the series once again. I enjoyed the open-endedness of the entire experience, and while I didn't get a lot of details of the story, it was still enjoyable and fun to see.
when I think about my time with Death of the Outsider, I don't immediately think of the shortcomings in the story, I think about that oh-so-sweet combat that exemplifies my love for this series.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is one of the most emotional and well-developed games of the year, which offers a huge number of opportunities for solving problems, and a really interesting exploration aspect.

A resoundingly confident continuation of 2016's Game of the Year, Death of the Outsider is a worthy addition to the Dishonored pantheon.
If this is truly the last chapter, Death of the Outsider cements Dishonored as one of the best new franchises of the last ten years and places it among the most consistent trilogies ever seen in video games.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is another solid adventure that's just as generous and involving as either of the main games. It's a shorter experience, but everything you love about the series is present and correct, and as always, replayability is extremely high. Billie is a great character and inherits some cool abilities that allow for multiple approaches to missions. Some narrative niggles let the game down a bit, and it feels a little rushed at the end, but all told, this is every inch a Dishonored game, which can only be a good thing.
Death of the Outsider does not succeed in surpassing Dishonored 2 in terms of the story, but makes more fun because of its playful freedom.

'Dishonored: Death of the Outsider' puts a bow on the first two games, and serves as a satisfying epilogue to the series.
However, Death of the Outsider is a leaner and meaner take on the Dishonored series, and one that continues to highlight the special world that Arkane Studios have crafted. There's an argument to be made for the series to continue on as much as there is for the franchise (at least in its current form) to end on a high note like Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and with that last point, it serves as a bloody finish to a beautifully violent series.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a worthy addition to the Dishonored franchise. It doesn't eclipse any of the core games, but it's well worth your time and money if you're a fan of the series.
Death of the Outsider is a fitting conclusion to the Dishonored franchise. It embraces everything the series is known for, while offering up smart refinements and more immediate player agency. If not for some pacing issues and narrative missteps in the final act, it could have been the best entry yet. Instead, it must settle for being merely being great.
Death of the Outsider is smaller, more focused standalone expansion that eschews some of the series' superfluous mainstays to deliver a core, action-stealth experience. If this is the end for Dishonored, then it's gone out in style.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a step forward into the right direction in the Dishonored world. Billie Lurk portrait bring us some of the most interesting themes and topics in the franchise. The game is pure poetry, and it comes in an excellent price point that every Dishonored fan or gamer should give it a shot.

If this truly is is the concluding chapter in the series, Dishonored exits with a fitting goodbye. Death of the Outsider takes a syringe to the magic formula, siphons up the good bits and leaves any and all excess behind.
Death of the Outsider is just more Dishonored in about every way, but it could have been a unique experience with a few additions like the aforementioned inclusion of mini-bosses and some co-operative missions with Daud. But I enjoyed my time slinking through its world and saying goodbye to an underappreciated franchise that opens the door for an all new direction if the story is to be continued.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a conclusion that honors an amazing franchise.
