Mechanics
Technical Aspects

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider for PC, PS4 and XONE is a stand-alone action game set in the Dishonored universe. This time we play not as Corvo Attano, but as a new heroine who stands on the other side of the barricade. The game was developed by Arkane Studios, creators of the Dishonored series.

The Plot

In Dishonored: Death of the Outsider for PC, PS4 and XONE we play as Billie Lurk, an extremely deadly assassin with superhuman powers. She is the right hand of Daud, one of the primary villains of the Disonohred series (we had the chance of playing as him in two DLC for the first installment of the series: Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches). Billy, along with her mentor, decides to hunt down The Outsider, a mysterious being that is the source of the supernatural powers used by the series’ heroes. How we fulfill that task, along with the decisions made during our adventure, will have a crucial impact on the game’s world and the plot.

Death of the Outsider will once again take us to the city of Karnaca known from the second game of the series. This time, we will learn all of its dark secrets. During our adventures, we will visit places like underground fight clubs or cultist hideouts.

Mechanics

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider for PC, PS4 and XONE is, just like the previous installments of the series, a first-person action game with RPG and stealth elements. We play as an assassin who uses her skills to eliminate her enemies. Billy uses a knife, pistols, and supernatural powers on her way through the guards-packed locations. We can go through them completely unnoticed, or leave a trial of bodies behind. Leveling up gives us access to new abilities and equipment.

In addition to the main story, the game offers side missions that usually focus on eliminating a given target. After finishing Dishonored: Death of the Outsider we can start the game once again in the Original Game Plus mode where we have access to powers from Dishonored 2.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider for PC, PS4 and XONE uses the same game engine as Dishonored 2 and has the same unique art-style.

TheSixthAxis: 9 / 10 by Aran Suddi

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.

Eurogamer: by Edwin Evans-Thirlwell

A morbid, potent epilogue for Dishonored 2 equipped with new powers, some great locations and some overdue tweaks.

Destructoid: 8.5 / 10 by Raymond Porreca

By the time Death of the Outsider comes to a close, Billie's gone through the ringer. It's not the longest expansion out there, and it seems to miss a step or two in the main plot, but there's more than enough for anyone who appreciated the moment-to-moment formula of Dishonored 2. Billie Lurk never had it easy, but after her last job, it's finally time to rest. And that's more than a fitting farewell for one of the best video game franchises in recent memory.
