Review of Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is weak to kill a God?



Two numbered parts and two supplements we enough came the world of Dishonored and I learned about it almost all. The only white spot was and remains a magical Abyss in the head with a divine Stranger. Who is he and where is he from? Is he evil or just gives the elect with supernatural powers? In addition the Death of the Outsider, the authors finally decided to answer.

Beat Billy’s not finished

Direct comparison with last year’s Dishonored 2 can not be avoided — we are a small, but a standalone addon. On the one hand, Death of the Outsider is less than the second part in number of locations and actors, duration of the main campaign and set of magic tricks. On the other, somewhere cuts have benefited the game diminished “water”.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

No training missions, vials of mana and levels of chaos. Forget about the Palace coups with the sudden appearance of distant relatives of Royal blood. Although the heroine of the add-on is disabled, neither she nor the script does not need crutches. The plot couldn’t be any easier to nowhere: broken destiny and guards Billy tries to find the meaning of life, which hunts down his former mentor Dawood. Together, they have to do the impossible — destroy the Alien, the God of the underworld.

Surprisingly, in the course of the campaign a simple story of a couple of vagrants develops into a parable about human nature. Begin to be tormented by the question, whether strongly influenced by the otherworldly magic on reign of darkness in the Island Empire? And can we consider Dowd and similar characters positive?

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

But let’s leave philosophical questions, because the main Death of the Outsider — still gameplay. Let us examine, for example, the Chapter on “Bank Robbery”. Here you plan an operation like in a crime Thriller. Will get in the building through the sewers or rise in the cradle of the painter on the roof? There is just the pump ventilation — so why not pour the laudanum to sedate and thus security? However, the vial of sleeping pills still need to get hold of — fortunately, in the square kicked off the auction, which sell the property of a dead druggist. If one description of the plan of robbing your head is spinning, do not worry — you can always break in through the front door and a massacre.

Even better to experience Karnak help contracts new Supplement. These are the orders that can be taken on the black market and run in parallel to the main tasks. Neglect them and not worth it because they go beyond the schema of”kill-fetch”. A contract will bind a fashionable hobby of the aristocracy and drained of blood, the corpses, which now and then found on the streets. The other would Rob a Bank without raising alarm.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

Fascinating and chilling mini-stories scattered everywhere. Raised in the alley a few crumpled notes with pleas for help, you go to a taxidermy shop, where they realize that courteous taksidermistka tormented in the basement of the people alive, turning them into hives for the rigor of the OS. The attentive player will be immersed in a dozen such stories — the game world has become smaller, but not boring.

From Danuolla to Karnacki you hear the ringing of swords

One more vulnerable to criticism place — magical abilities, Billy. Some of them are good on paper but useless in reality. Who, one wonders, will need to read random thoughts of a rat? Amulets, even if they are made by hand, give only small help. The more powerful runes and forget to do. In fact, only three important tricks — teleport a limited distance (a hallmark of the series), intelligence in the form of a Ghost and temporary borrowing the appearance of a character. It would seem that abilities enough to swear.

But they can and should be combined. For example, before the heroes could teleport through the bars — had to look for hidden levers, buttons, keys. Now there is another option: fly the Ghost where it doesn’t fit the character, put a label for the teleporter and voila, Billy jumped out of reach at first glance place.

The enemy is hidden behind a corner and immediately notice the one-eyed beast, when she flicker in sight? No problem: include same Ghost and put a label right on the guard. Jump and alert the enemy shatters into small lumps. Is not bad compared to the original game, where you really have to see the end point of teleportation.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

As for copying the appearance, it adds a social stealth wherever possible. Therefore, the already mentioned sale of the things the pharmacist Billy is able to come in the guise of a respected buyer. Or walk under the noses of the patrol, using the appearance of their commander — they even honor give.

But on conventional weapons, the authors rested. The change is mostly cosmetic — replaced the tranq dart electric, Billy was given two blades instead of one. It is a pity that this flight of fancy Arkane is over.

Execute not pardon

Death of the Outsider — an adventure without surprises. Some will pay attention to the samopovtorov developers, and others will see here a cut-down orange box 2, with a smaller set of stunts, locations and the acute shortage of colourful villains. And the heroine, a tough Negro with disabilities will appeal to everyone. That’s why ardent fans of the game universe has collected all the runes and read all the notes from Danuolla to Karnacki, Supplement will likely not like it.

But tell me, how many representatives of the Immersive Sim was released in 2017? If you love the setting and the genre — you here. Here you cannot control the spread of the plague or the fate of the throne, you play as the killer from slum. Up anything, use imagination — and isn’t that what we expect from a good game?
