Outward is an ambitious, uncompromising game, sometimes to its own detriment. There's a lot to like about it, from its unique take on player character death to its focus on the mundane aspects of adventuring. But every moment when it really shined was...

I spent more time, however, slogging through long, boring battles with an otherwise poor combat system, working around major bugs, scrounging berries to eat, sleeping in tents, and just walking the same roads, back and forth, from one familiar town to the other and back again. These flaws didn’t just crop up regularly – they defined the experience. There is the seed of a better RPG here, but it’s buried under too much rough terrain. At its best, Outward can offer novel experiences, a good challenge, and a fun way to play with friends. It spends more time at its worst, though, and that’s boring and tedious.

Alex Ney@AlexNey18Was mir an Outward gefällt, sind die zuweilen unrealistisch realistischen Survival-Elemente. Die geben mir das Gefühl, als abgemagerter BWL-Student um nicht weniger als die MMA-Weltmeisterschaft zu kämpfen. Es gibt einfach unglaublich...

Sólo una persona puede salvar al mundo, a la princesa, y detener a las fuerzas del mal que llevan asolando las tierras desde antaño. Pero por desgracia, en Outward, ese no eres tú. Y es que si normalmente hemos estado acostumbrados a encarnar a a...

Outward è un gioco dalle grandi potenzialità e in gran parte riesce già a esprimerle. Gli sviluppatori di Nine Dots sono riusciti a sviluppare un gioco di ruolo classico ma dalle meccaniche molto stratificate e da apprendere con molta calma. Prepararsi...
