1. DISHONORED: DEATH OF THE OUTSIDER REVIEW ROUNDUP

    So, Dishonored: Death of The Outsider promises more Dishonored action but with a smaller scope that the first two and with a reduced RRP but the question is – is it worth your hard earned cash? We’ve rounded up the reviews for you below …

    IGN 8.4/10 (Great)

    “It was wonderfully satisfying to have more Dishonored to play, even if Death of the Outsider doesn’t quite meet the high bar Dishonored 2 set in story or mission design. Even though it’s a shorter and slightly shallower game, there are some exciting new abilities and interesting changes to the energy system, and the freedom from consequences of Chaos further encourage experimentation and freedom. All in all, it’s a worthy end to the story that began five years ago.”

    Gamespot 8/10 (Great)

    “Dishonored: Death Of The Outsider is a solid, inventive, yet somewhat subdued capper to the stories from the previous Dishonored games. While the smaller scope can be felt throughout, the approach to allowing players to express themselves as a master assassin is just as strong as ever. It’s uncertain where the series can go from here, but this stand-alone release proves that Dishonored is still a remarkably designed stealth-action game with much potential, that offers players the chance to be creative in ways they’d least expect.”

    Polygon 8/10

    “Death of the Outsider offers a standard take on the Dishonored formula, tracking closely to its admirable ethos of freedom and choice in a world of subtleties and illusions. It’s a decent finale with a solid central character. But it makes little attempt to try anything new, a sign that all the best ideas are likely going into whatever comes next.”

    The Sixth Axis 9/10

    “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.”

    Games Radar 4/5

    “Overall though, it’s both a rewarding journey, and a definitive punctuation mark for the universe to date. It’s exactly what you want from a Dishonored game, but with a minimalist approach that makes it more immediately accessible. With some memorable moments and an interesting lead character, it’s a worthy end to the story (so far).”
