Dishonored: Death of the Outsider Reviews
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a beautiful game that doesn't beat around the bush with story or gameplay design. It opens up the series just a bit and loosens the restrictions on how the game can be played, or rather should be played. While the adventure isn't quite as long as Dishonored 2, it certainly is made fun with non-linear gameplay and additional fun through contracts/challenges.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider captures everything that's great about Arkane's assassination series, while also showing that it can still surprise.
I don’t want to give away too much and spoil anyone’s fun, but rest assured that Death of the Outsider is a worthy installment in the series. It lightens up on the story consequences from your actions and allows a much more liberated approach to your gameplay in which I found myself gleefully slaughtering guards more than creeping around corners. If you feel like I didn’t touch on the story, it was intentional. The title doesn’t leave much mystery on the main goal of the game and giving away details is not my style – go discover them for yourself.
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 could have easily been great for value DLC, but as a stand-alone game for $30, some players may feel a little cold after the 6-7 hours of game time. There is an Original Game+ mode that adds new abilities to the characters of Dishonored 2, but if you've had your fill of reliving past glories, you'll probably get through the game in a solid nights' play.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a good stand alone adventure that deepens the story of Billie Lurk. It offers roughly three-four hours of gameplay and brand new powers to experiment with.

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.
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 is the shortest Dishonored but also my favorite one. The game has a nicer “flow” than its predecessors due to unlimited use of abilities. Packed with 5 main mission, 13 side quests, and 8 collectibles you get an AAA quality game well worth the $29,99 asking price — highly recommended for trophy hunters who want an enjoyable, quick and easy platinum trophy.
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.
Between this and Prey, its clear that Arkane is really refining the multiple-route, stealth or combat style to its best form.
The Death of the Stranger is a fantastic independent expansion that immerses us again in the dark world of Dishonored focusing its attention on one of the most iconic characters in the series. A highly enjoyable game at every moment that inherits the best of the saga, its brutal gameplay and freedom of action, but from which we expected more ambition and depth in its proposal.

Although it fails on the signature aspects of Dishonored series such as level design and chocies; Death of the Outsider has to be a game that series' fans want to play.

With this expansion Arkane Studios matched the quality level of the regular installments of the Dishonored series (and that really is something!). All fans of Dishonored 1 & 2 simply have to experience Death of the Outsider. Everyone else should do the same but only after finishing the previous games. It's worth it!

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.

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.
An excellent game that delivers an above average amount of gameplay for its cost, giving you the freedom to utilize an interesting set of powers to track down and kill a god. Beautiful environments and varied objectives more than make up for changes to the Chaos mechanic from previous games in the series.
Death of the Outsider is polished, yet largely forgettable when compared to its previous iterations.
