What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was July 2019. 55 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 37 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 78 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dishonored 2 ($29.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats DEATHLOOP ($59.99, scores 39).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 431 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 6.6 hours; clearing it takes 18, which is 2.7 times the campaign.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6.6 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
I mean, it's more Dishonored, but it honestly feels more like a large DLC than a separate game. Still, if you have the cash to spare, and a decent PC- especially if you enjoyed Dishonored in general- it's worth your time.
An imperfect, but still solid ending to the series. A lot of effort was clearly put in to it, but ultimately it feels more than a little repetitive because of reusing a level from 'Dishonored 2' and reusing it's one original large-scale city level twice. The final level is cool from a storytelling perspective, but not as interesting in terms of design. Still, if you like the Dishonored series, it's good enough as a...
Not worth it the story is garbage there is no morality system and the gameplay is no different than dishonored 2

Dishonored®: Death of the Outsider™ scores 49/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/614570/dishonored-death-of-the-outsiderThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 14, price as of Sep 24.
