    Outward is an RPG that feels very classic, and even that is a good thing, in certain sections maybe not so much. Controls, quick access menus and combat are rough and unintuitive. On the other hand, the rest of the sections shine with their own light. The title offers a role and survival experience like few others, with a careful fictitious world in which to immerse yourself.

    A peculiar story is what Outward offers us. The title becomes a possible cult RPG.

The RPG genre is a genre that’s crowded by many great offerings and some not so wonderful ones as well. Outward is far from a bad seed and the co-op play brings that level of fun to entire new level. When first getting use to the game you will require a level of patience to get used to because I found myself dying repeatedly until I was able to get a handle on what I was doing wring. Lot's of open word to discover and enjoy, without a fast travel option though, can make the world seem overly large or grinding to get where you want to get to next. Outward is a game that does offer some quality fun and memorable moments but it also suffers with a few glitches as well as a few unusual design choices, which I feel do hold it back somewhat. I think this game you will put the time in to learn and love it or be turned off by some of the issues I mentioned from a bit of the frustration brought by the learning curve.. If you take the time and have the patience to get comfortable with the game, you will definitely enjoy it in my opinion.… Full Review »

    There is no hand holding, it is quite difficult as well. But the number 1 reason to get this? FRIGGEN SPLITSCREEN COUCH CO-OP Number 2? No buying items in game with real world cash/ no loot boxes. If anything, get this game to play that, have put 3 hours into the co-op mode and it is just about the most fun I have had in years.
    It is funny how a game with dated graphics, and made by a team of 10 people invokes the same enjoyment of exploration that only Breath of the Wild was able to do so well.    … Full Review »

    RPG a la altura de los grandes, aqui debes estar atento a todo. Desde el frio, el hambre, la carga, hasta debes dejar la mochila pesada en el suelo para combatir. Exploracion, centenas de enemigos, lugares...un RPG con un apartado de diseño espectacular y una jugabilidad de 10.
    La prensa no hablará de él porque no hay dinero para publicidad, y solo se mueven por dinero. Pero es una obra maestra.    … Full Review »
