Playtime: 10 Hours
Score: 7/10
The last entry in the Dishonored series that I have finally played and finished! If we truly never get a Dishonored 3 or a reboot, then I will be happy with this being the last entry.
Death of the Outsider picks up after the ending of Dishonored 2 as we play as Billie Lurk voiced by Rosario Dawson. What I like about the Dishonored series is how the stories are connected and told. What I mean by that is in Dishonored 1 and 2, its Corvo and Emily's story, where as in the DLCs (Knife of Dunwall + Brigmore Witches + Death of the Outsider) its Daud and Billie's story, as this is pretty much a sequel to the first games DLCs.
Gameplay wise this plays a lot like Dishonored 2 with a few changes. For starters you start the game with your 3 main powers and unlock a couple of extra abilities through story progression. You don't pick up runes and upgrade your powers. You do however still collect bone charms to give you passive abilities. They also added a new feature called Contracts which gives you extra little side missions you can do for extra money. These often involve stealing something, killing someone in a specific way or capturing and moving a body somewhere. I thought this fun addition and it added a more stuff to do. Overall I enjoy Dishonored's gameplay and level design so there's not much else to say.
Some of the negatives are mainly I didn't get as invested in this games story compared to the others however it did end on a strong note. The level design is also a bit weaker compared to the other titles and DLC. None of the levels really stand out and started to feel bland towards the end. I also didn't like Billie's limited power set and wished there was more powers on offer.
Overall, this was a decent game and I do recommend it to fans of Dishonored as it does wrap up the series story pretty well.
