    The Definitive Edition of Outward lets seasoned players rediscover the base game with both DLCs - "Three Brothers" and "The Soroboreans" - along with a plethora of new and updated content.

    As an ordinary adventurer, you'll not only have to hide or defend yourself against threatening creatures, but also brave the hazardous environmental conditions, protect yourself against infectious diseases, make sure you get enough sleep and stay hydrated. Embark on perilous expeditions across untamed lands to reach new cities, undertake varied missions and discover hidden dungeons crawling with formidable enemies.

    Complicating matters is the 'Corruption' - a toxic material spreading across the land that can best be described as radioactivity of the soul. Found naturally in the land, it's distribution was concentrated and expanded after the Scourge Spell was cast, which also destroyed cities and created the most dangerous monsters at the same time.

    These and many more challenges await all adventurers who dare to go venture out into the wilderness and cities the world of Outward has in store.

    Outward: Definitive Edition keeps its proposal intact on Switch and adds new content to the existing DLC to make the experience the most complete. Its level of demand and constant saving continue to make it one of the toughest and most surprising adventure games in the current catalog.

    Outward: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch maintains the depth of the original RPG with survival mechanics, offering freedom to explore and engage in various quests. However, visual sacrifices are noticeable, affecting textures and overall graphical fidelity, making it a less immersive experience compared to other platforms. Despite its flaws, it remains a compelling option for RPG enthusiasts on the Switch.

    While Outward is certainly a port with limitations due to the platform, I’m not entirely sure I would have enjoyed it any more on any other console. Yes, there is a joy to being dropped in a big world and left to carve your own journey through it. Outward is a fundamentally appealing experience. The problem for Outward is that there other games that have done that with much more soul.
