    Improved gameplay in a just okay world
    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
    a 6.5/10    … Expand

    I don't feel as much care was put into this title as there was in the main games, but what would you expect? There is in fact, a surprising amount of content for what is effectively meant to be a smaller Dishonored game. If you wanted more from the series then it offers just that.

    Cet épisode inédit reprend les bases du premier (mais pas tout à fait non plus) et sonne comme un plus ou moins faux retour aux sources mi-figue mi-raisin de la célèbre licence… Des pouvoirs modifiés et restreints, le mana qui se recharge tout seul et un « clignement » un peu moins pratique qu’avant, on ne peut pas dire qu’on y gagne forcément au change…

    On retrouve également cette    Cet épisode inédit reprend les bases du premier (mais pas tout à fait non plus) et sonne comme un plus ou moins faux retour aux sources mi-figue mi-raisin de la célèbre licence… Des pouvoirs modifiés et restreints, le mana qui se recharge tout seul et un « clignement » un peu moins pratique qu’avant, on ne peut pas dire qu’on y gagne forcément au change…

    On retrouve également cette infiltration pas si bien pensée dont les opoortunités restent souvent un peu trop limitées… Mais l’ambiance étrange steampunk du jeu original est toujours aussi frappante, dispensée ici dans des niveaux nettement plus normaux que dans le Dishonored 2 qui avait fumé toute la moquette disponible du studio. Et même celle du couloir. Et les tapis de l’escalier aussi. Les mécaniques fonctionnent assez bien en tout cas et la sauvegarde reste manuelle, ce qui permet d’expérimenter.

    Bien que le jeu ne souffre certainement pas la critique, techniquement parlant (surtout sur Xbox X|S avec le FPS Boost qui autorise les 60 im/s !), la direction artistique demeure égarée dans le mauvais goût ou du moins un manque de goût gênant et permanent ; cela fait certes ressortir le côté glauque de ce Dishonored très sombre mais tout de même, que c’est sinistrement vilain ! à ce sujet, la musique est très vilaine également… alors heureusement que l’excellente VF rattrape le coup !

    Le jeu est sensiblement plus court que Dishonored 2 mais aussi vendu plus de deux fois moins cher et si l’on rajoute les contrats optionnels (mais intéressants), on n’est certainement pas volé sur la marchandise (ni sur sa durée de vie, surtout si on veut se la jouer pacifiste). La fin propose une alternative bienvenue, ma foi et l’espèce d’histoire qui se recentre sur l’Outsider tient assez bien la route, finalement.

    Cependant, l’héroïne que l’on incarne ici est le résultat d’un agenda SJW insupportable de wokisme. Pensez donc : elle est noire, lesbienne, borgne et manchote. Elle est très laide aussi. Et assez vieille. et quelle sale gueule ! Dommage qu’ils aient oublié chez Arkane de la faire grosse et autiste. Et myopathe aussi pendant qu’on y est. Ou trans-quelque-chose par dessus le marché.

    A noter que l’on peut refaire le jeu avec les pouvoirs de Dishonored 2, plus convaincants que les nouveaux, je trouve… et d’ailleurs, c’est là qu’on se rend compte que ce Dishonored de l’Outsider est bien plus appréciable en jouant très brutalement… et comme un prédateur impitoyable ! au contraire d’un Deux Ex qui privilégie l’infiltration pure, par exemple. Un Dishonored honorable donc mais encore perfectible.    … Expand

    Fortunately, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a short game, otherwise it would suffer from the usual problem of this franchise, "getting boring"!

    Fans of the universe will love the way this huge chunk of content gives you new characters and locations. However, it might feel a bit familiar at times, and it never goes into proper sequel territory. But that’s because it’s not.

    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. Dishonored fans will love this one as well, and people that may have been turned off from the first game may find this one much more enjoyable. There’s still some issues with stealth and difficulty, but in the end, it’s a fun experience overall with some great options.

    Dishonored: Death of the Outsider builds on an already established foundation for both storytelling and gameplay mechanics after two main releases. This latest expansion leverages several of Dishonored 2's biggest strengths into a much more condensed form factor, without compromising on the core philosophies of its predecessors. 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.
