Great end cap to the Dishonored series. Meagan Foster/Billy Lurk was the most interesting character in Dishonored 2 so it was great to see her taking centre stage in the standalone story and Rosario Dawson delivers a great performance as ever. I also like how much it links into the original Dishonored 1 DLC through its connections with Daud and Billy's relationship. It's short length in comparison to the other games made me even more motivated to jump back in and try levels in a variety of different ways (e.g undetected, kill everyone). It also brings a few more powers to play with, and although I didn't find them quite as compelling as some of the new additions in Dishonored 2 I still enjoyed finding interesting ways to use them to produce unexpected results. The new contracts feature is also interesting as it compels players to really explore the corners of the world in a way that was more so left up to them in previous games. Part of me is sad that this will likely be the end of the series (for a considerable time at least), but I think it really is a high note for Arkane to go out on and I'm even more excited for the new worlds they'll now be able to introduce to us in future (e.g Death Loop, Redfall).
