Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is an interesting child of the Dishonored franchise, not quite adult to sit at the big table with Dishonored and Dishonored 2, but definitely much more grown up than the DLC releases of those two games. Ultimately,...

After last year's enjoyable, albeit technically flawed, Dishonored 2, and this year's superlative Prey, comes Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. This Arkane Studios title is a standalone expansion that exists to cap off the stealth-action/ immersive-sim...

Revenge has ultimately been the core of the Dishonored series for me with the freedom to experiment in just how you deliver that vengeance and allowing players to play the games as they see fit. Do you play full on stealth or swords out slaying anything...

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.was reviewed on...

In general, Death of the Outsider occasionally feels like a Dishonored 3 that hasn't quite become flesh and perhaps, never will, going by sales of the second game and of Arkane's most recent immersive sim, Prey. The trading of fixed upgrades for the flexibility of bone charms, streamlined energy system and dialing-back of Chaos/Order seem a foundation worthy of a grander tale, one that tugs a little harder on some of the dangling threads here - Billie's ability to listen to rats...

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