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. Read less

One of the most annoying and incomplete RPG games I've ever played. It's impossible to play the game without entering some codes. If you play without using the speed cheat, it takes hours to get from one place to another. It's a no-brainer not to add fast travel to this game. It takes hours to find your quest. If we could at least put a mark on the compass, we'd know where we were going. If you play the game melee, you'll make the mistake of your life. Almost every creature one-shots. Don't even try to play this game and waste your time

i've seen people complain about the combat in this game, but damn if it wasn't the coolest thing to guard against a wild animal wondering if it was bugged because it kept doing nothing, and then getting immediately knocked unconscious during the sliver of a second i let my guard down. can't remember the last time i went down laughing like that.

i also really like the ending system where you're put into a random situation after passing out, based on your surroundings. so far i've been rescued by someone from my hometown, got beat up by cave dwellers and lost fights with them three times before escaping, each time being left in a corner of the cave unattended because they weren't very smart i guess, and also taken in by some sentient demon creature who really liked to read human books.

  • holy shit i can be an old lady

  • one full fucking star for letting me be an old lady

  • day one and i'm already in debt. brutal 2020 simulator

  • me at the city gates, 2 minutes in, no equipment or backpack, possibly naked enter image description here

  • ok, i'm out, let's go fight a wild animal and DIE
