    Recommended, but just barely. This "game" is pretty much DLC for Dishonored 2, exactly how The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches were DLCs for Dishonored. In terms of game mechanics, interface and design, the game is virtually identical to Dishonored 2. In fact, in some cases even limited. This means really good, because those things were nailed in D2, but there's just no progressRecommended, but just barely.

This means really good, because those things were nailed in D2, but there's just no progress that I'd expect from what is essentially marketed as a separate game. Level-wise it was extremely disappointing, with effectively only 3 new levels. They were fairly well-designed, but nothing outstanding like in D2, and they were mostly rather hollow, with random, very repetitive loot, and random, very repeatable enemies, most of both not actually contributing to the story in any way, but just acting as fillers. And finally, the writing in my impression was probably the dullest of the whole franchise, so much that I was glad when it was finally over.

    Recommended ONLY if you've played through D2 and are not yet sated.    … Expand

    Graphics - 7
    Sounds - 6
    Story - 6 ( for a doc)
    Gameplay - 8
    So if you look at this points you would say its 8 point game. But the game is just giving us nothing. The game repat himself and that is just boring. - 5

    It plays the same as the other games and I loved them, but this one just seems to lack soul. It's hard to pinpoint the problem, but I think its just weak motivation. Half the game I was still sorta of asking "why?" Weakest of the series, but still functions well enough for a fun stealth romp.

    The game is not bad, but I'm glad I bought it during a Steam sale. It is not even close to Dishonored 2 in terms of features:
    1) The main character has way less powers (only 4) and they are not upgradable.
    2) "New Game+" does not carry anything from a previously completed game. Instead, it lets you replace 3 of the powers with Dishonored 2 powers. This may sound cool, but practically    The game is not bad, but I'm glad I bought it during a Steam sale. It is not even close to Dishonored 2 in terms of features:

    3) The story (especially the ending) isn't satisfying.
    If you can buy it for 10 bucks or lets, do it, otherwise, it's a pass: it's not worth 30 bucks.    … Expand

    Death of the outsider is a standalone expansion of dishonored 2 that seems to set out to end the story of this franchise...
    Here you play as Billie lurk, out to put an end to the outsider...
    aka the guy that gave everyone their fancy moves...
    Playing aggressively I beat this expansion in about 4 hours, so needless to say it’s pretty lengthy for what it is as I’m sure a pure stealth play through would double the size…
    Billie brings her own set of skills to the table..
    you’re still able to dash through the air like corvo, but she’s able to get her Eliza Thornberry on and talk to rats to get clues on her task at hand, steal the identity of npcs to sneak pass guards, and freeze time to play as an orb of energy like in beyond two souls where you can go through cracks to spawn a point for you to teleport to
    also mark bone charms around to buff your characters stats
    you have a sword and bolts at your disposal for combat..
    And thankfully this time there are no skill trees...
    and I say thankfully because every ability is unlocked through story progression and this means that the game forces you to use abilities for level progression like I’ve been suggesting the game does from the start…
    This means even the most aggressive person like me isn’t just going in there parrying and dodging bullets..
    I had to use my abilities to problem solve…
    the world is crawling with targets of course and even contracts…
    but unfortunately the world here in death of the outsider just isn’t interesting to explore..
    It’s probably the laziest design I’ve seen in a dishonored game…
    this is where this otherwise solid expansion is hurt the most...
    absolutely 0 memorable moments or levels…
    the end of the outsider deserved a much better send off than what he’s been given here…
    I still had a decent amount of fun disarming traps and outsmarting enemies..
    especially once I unlocked the ability to blast enemies in the air with my sword
    and of course I love the fact the game goes the rout I’ve always wanted with designing levels around abilities… and as a result abilities being able to be used frequently without consumables attached
    but these levels are just a bore making death of the outsider a very forgettable experience…
    if you’re a dishonored fan of course pick it up to see what potentially is the end to this series…
    but as a for stealth fans in general.. This if a very skippable standalone…
    I give Dishonored Death of the Outsider

    An 'almost satisfying' , 'OK' DLC. Gameplay mechanics is solid as before but something is missing, may be Billie's story lacks depth. Could have been way better.

    Достойное завершение серии игр. Весомое достоинство данной игры - отсутствие хаоса. В остальном же ничего примечательного.

    Сюжет этого DLC крайне сомнительный, мотивации у Билли я так и не увидел, да и у Дауда, который по какой-то причине начал винить во всех бедах чужого, ее так же нет. На историю откровенно положили болт, хоть и немного раскрыли суть Бездны и углубили лор.

На историю откровенно положили болт, хоть и немного раскрыли суть Бездны и углубили лор.
    Способности лично на мой взгляд весьма говно, могли бы и получше придумать, амулеты как обычно почти бесполезны, копить монеты на покупки в магазине так же необязательно, ведь полезного там немного. Озвучка у Билли все такая же странная, эмоций как обычно ровно 0. Геймплей как обычно шикарен, но уступает основной игре из-за тех же способностей, которых у Билли всего 3 + они не очень, и из-за самих уровней, которые стали менее крутыми ( это не касается банка, он крут). Со звуком порой возникают траблы, иногда он по какой-то причине становится тихим. Багов особо не заметил. Диалоги все такая же муть, как и в основной игре, хотя Чужой порой выдает неплохие монологи. Про персонажей.. ну Билли очень сильно недокрутили, из Дауда сделали какого-то старого маразматика, Чужого немного недораскрыли, а других лиц то и нет, те , что мелькают в миссиях не в счет, ибо "экранного времени" и лора у них крайне мало, да и не запоминаются они.
    Как DLC - слабее DLC к первой части во всем, кроме геймплея.    … Expand

I expected to see a detailed view of the past of the outsider, of his world whose kind-of apocalyptic ending was hinted at the Corroded Man. we see some ''people'' or their ghosts that seem to be related to him, but we get to learn nothing from them, not even how exactly they look like nor if they are people from the outsider's past or dead people who once were marked by him. the game was well done and designed. but the lore needed more depth, and connection with the novel. it ended up giving me more questions than answers. like the assassins creed games.… Expand

    Why wouldn't they make this a part of the original game? More money I guess. I really liked a new game mechanic - contracts, I wish they were in the whole series. All the other stuff is from Dishonored 2, all same.
    This is the end of the whole series, a lame one, to be honest. I wish there were something more to explore about the lore and a more interesting ending...

    Dishonored: death of the outsider is a very good standalone DLC. If you liked Dishonored 2 then I would highly recommend this game. There certainly aren't levels as memorable as the clockwork mansion, however the levels now contain "contracts", which have added a much needed dimension to the basic structure.

    Free give away on Epic and I had beat the previous two games. So I was willingly to give this freebie ago. Funny thing I so killed this character and dumped her body overboad in D2, because what she said she did. So I kind of didn't really care about playing this character.

    The biggest disappointment are the scenarios. Plain scenario design and repeating them several times is not at the same level than the superb scenarios in this franchise.
    The gameplay is greatly affected by the lack of powers. Having only 3, 1 being almost useless and the other 2 being a worse version than the originals from Dishonored main title. So the lack of options reduces a lot the number of approaches that made Dishonored franchise so good.    … Expand

    Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is another solid entry into the franchise. Despite a couple of minor issues here and there, this title is definitely worth the price of admission.
