    Outbound is exactly the type of game you play after a long day at work and get your energy back, like your eco-friendly car. You don't have to worry about danger and you enjoy relaxation and well-being while playing. The game will also surprise you with its extensive possibilities for crafting, exploring and building your mobile base.

    For the most part this is a cosy laid back game. There’s no real threat in it (you can get injured but even falling from a decent height is unlikely to kill you… you have to try really hard to do any real damage). I love the idea of being able to use renewable resources, sun, wind, rain etc. The recycling mechanic could have been better implemented and fast travel would be a welcome addition… but overall it’s a decent bit of fun and you can even adopt a dog (though once you do… it’s with you for the rest of the game… even if you tell it to stay somewhere, it will inevitably end up by your side again). Good for those who like gentle gaming.

    Outbound is an easy-going survival game that puts risk-free exploration above all else. Its core gameplay loop is satisfying enough to keep you and a friend or three hooked for a couple of hours, but the lack of variety and ultimate purpose wears thin beyond that. Of course, the same can be said about many a cozy game, but the best examples always make the process immensely satisfying. Outbound is still a refreshing antidote to a fast-paced world, but barring any additional content updates, this might be one road trip you’ll want to cut short.
