More of the same - meaning it’s good.
More than an expansion but not quite a new game, Death of the Outsider is a finely crafted epilogue to Dishonored 2. Gameplay-wise, it’s more streamlined: the heroine only gets four magical powers that can’t be upgraded through runes, which is not much of an issue since the campaign is only about one third as long as D2's and ends before their novelty wears off. Those powers work in somewhat weird manners and take a bit of time getting used to, but they can be exploited in a variety of interesting and fun new ways. I also really like how the new self-regenerating mana meter works: you can’t spam powers as much, but don’t have to worry about running out of elixir. Unlike previous games, playing as a pacifist doesn’t give you an achievement or a better ending, so feel free to cause mayhem with the fun new gadgets and weapons at your disposal! Most of them work slightly differently than what we’ve seen, encouraging you to exploit their quirks and adding further diversity to the series’ already greatly satisfying arsenal: I love the hilarious “non-lethal” grenades and mines that tend to accidentally yeet enemies to their deaths. All in all, DotO has many good design choices that I would be happy to see reused in future Dishonored games. The plot is also fine. Serving as a sequel to the second game (and a spiritual successor of sorts to the Knife of Dunwall / Witches of Brigmore DLCs from the first), it lets you play as possibly my favorite protagonist in the series, has really good voice acting, and revolves around one of the most fascinating elements in the Dishonored lore, the mysterious Outsider. It looks as good as D2 and somehow seems much better optimized, as unlike the base game I barely experienced any stuttering. In the end, Death of the Outsider is a solid experience and a good addition to the Dishonored series, despite being perhaps the one I love the least. If you like immersive sims and the previous games, there’s no reason you’ll dislike this one.
