Basically just micro-Dishonored, the same great gameplay with new powers. It definitely feels really short with only five missions. but it's still an interesting look into the Outsider himself, if you're into the lore of the universe.
excesso de textos e de arquivos (embora sejam opcionais, ou vc lê ou se perde na história).... mas a jogabilidade e essa matança diverte....
Bem curto mas tão bom quanto Dishonored 2, tentei ser 100% furtivo mas matar inimigos deixa esse jogo mais emocionante

What is really great about this serie is how they are able to reinvent the same power and always giving some twists to it. Blink, Far Reach and Displace all share the same utility which is teleportation but none of them are the same and I think this is quite impressive. I wonder what twist they would find if they made a Dishonored 3.
Something else can be said about the evolution of the serie. It's that how focused on stealth and low chaos it became over the time and the games. 2 was already more non-lethal friendly than 1 was but this time the game almost yells at you to play non-lethal by giving you more non-lethal equipements and powers than in the previous games. It's also the hardest game to stealth in my opinion and that's why the game gives you more powers to stay unoticed by your opponents. A great add is also getting rid of the mana consuming and replacing it by a reloading time. Often in DH1 and 2 I got myself exposed because I was using my mana with too much parsimony. So it's a very welcome feature that is not unbalanced at all.
The game is great even though it's crystal clear that it's more like a DLC from the second game than a game in itself. You can see that in the fact that you only have 3 real new levels throughout the 5 missions, one appering twice and one being from Dishonored 2. But they still managed to make a pretty good job ! It's more similar to the Knife of Dunwall than a major game with the game being straight to the point and I like that.
About the level design, it's like the previous ones, absolutely goated. There is not much to say more than what has been said over Dishonored 1 and 2 except that I think those levels have the best settings of the franchise. And that's especially thanks to the bank robbery I really loved this place !
Story-wise the game is also great even though it's straight to the point and that might be a lot thanks to the low chaos good ending.
If anyone is wondering if they should give it a try or no, it's a great yes for me ! I loved playing it while doing my Dishonored retrospection and the title is not made to be skipped !

A gritty end to the Dishonored franchise, Death of the Outsider places us in the shoes of recurring series character Billie Lurk. Once an assassin that ran with Daud and later a bitter broken woman who tried to make amends for her life by helping Emily reclaim her throne, now Billie finds herself summoned by the Outsider with a final quest: to kill him.
Much like other entries, Death of the Outsider is a stealth game, but it's probably more of a stealth game than the others if that makes sense. Its higher difficulty pushes players to be silent and deadly, and its powers support that. Unfortunately, sometimes that works against this game, and leads to frustrating stretches of game that can be ruined by taking a misstep, and enemies towards the end are especially annoying for this. I'm also left disappointed by the removal of the Chaos system entirely, here justified because Billie's not important enough to the wider Dishonored cosmos, but I fail to see how given her involvement with everything else. The ending is worth the ride, and some of the missions along the way are joyously creative, but it was definitely the least enjoyable Dishonored game.
