CG writes: In this video, we take a look at tomorrow’s release of Outcast – A New Beginning, sequel to the 1999 classic from Appeal Studios. With some other games in the near vicinity, is this worthy of your time. Take a look at our impressions video to get the full lowdown.
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "It does have a lot of issues, but Outcast: A New Beginning also features its fair share of saving graces. It is flawed, but a somewhat good time in smaller bursts. It’s a shame its open world design felt generic, never succeeding at captivating me, because the core combat mechanics and admittedly great visual design did a lot of heavy lifting. It’s an unapologetic old-school game in its premise and content; it doesn’t try to be anything else, nor does it try to punch above its weight. Whether you think this is commendable or not is up to your opinion."
I'm keeping this on my radar. It felt like a AA game from yesteryear. Which is fine but not at $70. I'll pick it up on a decent sale plus thst comes with an added benefit of bug fixes so win win.
What's old is finally new again. This sequel 25 years in the making wears the 90s on its sleeve and adds gorgeous backdrops, surprising us with an experience as silly and fun as it wants to be.
