Summary

Outward is an open world RPG that you play alone or with friends, either online or in splitscreen. It's more than just an open world RPG you can play coop though: it is an adventurer life simulator. You live the life of an adventurer, from his or her humble beginnings up until retirement. Your life isn't only about killing monsters and looting: you need to eat, drink and sleep; preparing accordingly before jumping into danger. Everything is meant to feel more real and consequential, while still taking place in a high fantasy universe with magic and exotic creatures.

Clunky and overpriced. Do not buy unless its $5 or less. Just paid $40 for it because I read one review and it sounded good. Do not get rippedClunky and overpriced. Do not buy unless its $5 or less.

You need to think about what you are doing, youThis game is pure gold if you were born in the '80s and liked the RPG genre over your youth. You need to think about what you are doing, you get lost trying to reach your destination, and suddenly you bump into a cave while trying to get back on track. You are hungry and cold so you get in. Inside you struggle to kill a monster to find a chest full of goodies, you now have to think about what you get rid of from your bag to make room for this new shiny sword, hoping to fetch a good price when you reach town. What reminds you that you have no clue where town is.Much more enjoyable in coop. Part of the charm is figuring out things by yourself, so try to stay away from wiking it too much, at least at the beginning. I hope they made more games like this.

Decent split screen co-op games for adults are hard to find. If you like RPG's and don't want to play Lego games, give Outward a try. We've been playing the game in split screen co-op for a few weeks now and we've moved from total frustration to a sense of mild competency.Outward has been a difficult, challenging, and ultimately engaging experience for us. We almost quit the game a few times in the middle, when the enemies were tough and our gear wasn't up to the punishment, but we're glad we continued as the monsters are diverse and amazing (Sand Shark?) and the atmosphere makes us feel like we are on a true adventure. The caves/dungeons are scary and have almost infinite variations. The player has to be selective in all aspects of the game, from choosing gear/skills, to setting up quick slots. You can't have it all here, so your choices really do matter.There's a lot of flexibility for differing player styles. You can learn skills from many different trainers, allowing you to mix and match rogue, mage, warrior, hunter type abilities in one character. The tricky bit in Outward is the scarcity of resources. You can avoid monsters, but by doing so, you'll never acquire enough loot to buy that great armor or weapon you want.Initially, the game is quite hard. You don't have enough space to carry back many items to sell, so this makes for annoying repetitive trudges back and forth to town to acquire silver. Although there is no leveling up, silver is the means for your character development as you will be using it to buy crafting ingredients, gear, and skills. Eventually, you are able to hold more stuff and find better equipment. As you become stronger, the enemies get harder.After a while you get used to thinking about weather conditions, time of day, your compass, and your provisions before setting out. One thing that is really cool about Outward is the way they have built seasons, day/night, and weather changes into the game. It makes the experience feel more life like.Sometimes I wish there were friendly characters here and there outside of towns. Just so you wouldn't know that everything that moves is a monster. And the game does crash sometimes on the Xbox, but because of the autosave feature, we are usually put back in the same location when we restart.I really like the art. So much detail in the landscapes, dungeons, weapons and clothing. There are even weather conditions in the dungeons! There are only a handful of voice actors used in the game, but we've become rather fond of the different inflections they use to deliver their set lines.Outward is a challenging game that builds up slowly. I wouldn't want more monsters in the open world as the ones that are there are quite tough. Navigating your way around both the open world environments and the interior buildings/dungeons is one of the most difficult parts of the game. Nothing comes easy in this game, but that is exactly why it is so satisfying when you do achieve a goal. Thanks to the Nine Dots team for a unique, immersive gaming experience!
