Outcast - A New Beginning

If you've tried the demo and walked away because of the performance, don't make the mistake of assuming the full game runs the same way. The demo appears to be poorly optimized and still runs terribly. A lot of the negative reviews from launch that criticized performance seem completely valid based on the demo. However, after buying the full game, I can confidently say that the developers have done a lot of work since then because the performance is dramatically better. Visually, the game looks fantastic. Playing at 1440p with DLAA enabled, the graphics are genuinely impressive and the world is beautiful to explore. The story starts off pretty slowly. At first, I was skipping through most of the cutscenes because nothing really grabbed me. After about an hour, though, the story began to click and I found myself actually paying attention to the dialogue, which is something I rarely do in games. The voice acting is solid, and as IGN pointed out, the main character often says exactly what you're thinking. He also has some genuinely funny moments. One early example is when he suggests a vendor should sell bottled water, only for the vendor to respond, "Who would be stupid enough …

It passes positive rating very barely. This game is like 6-7/10. If you rememer how good and immersive original outcast was you will be disappointed. The combat is primitive and you are walking immortal god. The only potion i ever used was a small healing one, despite you grinding for more recepies but you never need any of them. It is hyper "consolised" and you can never really fail or have to even try dodge bullets. You don't really "discover" here, you walk to map markers in a (beautifully crafted) world with mostly boring mass effect style "go to base x and wipe it out" missions with super easy difficulty and its very repetitice. Sometimes you collect something or do some flying around but it all feels very dumbed down. It all very soon became a fame of "i need to clean this out for ocd sense" There is an interesting skill tree with weapon upgrades but what's the point of it if you can kill anything without trying. Writing and story is also like a generic blockbuster with protagonist "yeah i'm a cool guy" adam sandler vibe with really cliche script. At the end there is a truly weird love story that absolutely didn't build up and happend in 5 seconds, and the game has a…

This ordinary classic Action-dventure game with fun diolog normal action no hokus pokus no soul like stuff. The game was fun and not boring, The world is not that huge where you give up on traveling. They maade it really easy to travel from point to poinr. If you want some adventure without any funny mechanisms and you like old-style action-adventure Then this is your game go for it.

Fun, but give it time. The game is very annoying at first. It's hard to travel, the ennemies are brutal, the plot is basic. But as you advance, you get to learn more about the world, you get used to the layouts, you get more power that helps you both travel better and kill better. The world barely changes difficulty as you power up. By the end, you feel like a god. You destroy the toughest foes with 1 shot, you heal yourself as you gun down hordes of the same starter ennemy. And the story, the lore, the characters, you get more familiar, even attached to them as they start to make more sense. But in the end, once you've mastered all you had to master, you realize that the story is very shallow, the ending sucks real bad, and the gameplay was repetitive. Luckily the game has a rather short length (52h for a completionist like me who does all the sidequests). It's not too long and by the end, you''ve had enough. I recommend, but it's not the best game ever.

Very enjoyable, relaxing open world game with some light humour.

Since I had aready bought it, it was worth playing though it, but the game is pretty buggy, the story is subpar and the mechanisms aren't great. If you get on steep discount it might be worth it, but I think there are better open world games out there.
