In a few ways, Outcast 1.1 is ahead of its time. It impressed me with its storytelling, humor, sound, and some minor touches that made it feel like it's a game that goes the extra mile. But it shows its age in its visuals and gameplay. Combat feels rough, just navigating around feels rough. It has what is perhaps the most embarrassing running animation in all of video games.

I won't pretend I played a lot of the game, and I may give it another try down the road because I like its style. I guess if you go in embracing this older, clunky feeling gameplay then you may like the game. But it's just a little too rough in the gameplay for me and that was enough to convince me to stay outcasted for now. My recommendation of a somewhat similar but way more palatable RPG is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

First thought - old but can be good. After few hours of gameplay I've realised how wrong I was. Again, old != classic OR GOOD. More than 10 years in gaming and never heard of that game. Too bad it didn't stayed that way. Story is not interesting, same goes for character design and optimisation is beyond awful.

And now, after 17 years, I have finally finished this amazing game. It's unbelievable how ahead of its time it is.

"i see you ulukai"

and i see the uninstall button.

when this was released, it had been 4 years in the making. This was before the GPU had even arrived. This is the last great software rendered game to be produced and what a beaut!

antialiasing, normal mapping, voxel landscapes. a tour de force technologically speaking.. but theres more


Huge story, open world, story led game.
lead charactor with a sarcastic frustrated tone about him surrounded by religious tallans worshiping his every move.
If you havent played this, you should just for the education and learn where all the ideas you see everywhere were first laid down...

10/10 in 1998 and still brings home the bacon today...

Excellent update, runs like a dream and with good controls. Excluding the necessity of the manual PDF so you can figure out what each item does thanks to the naming process.

It's a small price to pay for a great action-adventure game with an enveloping story.

And jokes about alien virginity.

This is very much the same game I remember loving when it first came out. The graphics have been improved from both hardware ecceleration and higher resolutions, but not dramatically so. This game is a classic and has always been one of my favorites. This is a great example of an open world game where the creators try as hard as possible to create an immersive experience with little hand holding. There are some annoying features such as remember who everyone is and buying just a few bullets at a time, but for me these are minor issues in a rock solid action adventure game. I would highly recommend it.

I've been playing Witcher 3 and this game is like a general template for the Witcher 3. You ride this creature around (Roach) doing quests for villagers in several different open world lands. You are different than the creatures and npcs that inhabit this land. Here I have a pistol instead of swords and crossbow. The recreators (weapon smith) makes me ammo after collecting materials in the open world. You can travel through portals or use F-links (signposts). If there are the equivalent to witcher signs I can use later in the game than this in my mind is THE original Witcher game.

The gunplay so far with just the pistol (other weapons later in the game) is very fun. The cool thing with looking for someone in this game is that the other NPCs will tell you their general direction (north of here but I cannot see them from here, south west of here, etc.) or if you are close they will point at the NPC you are looking for. They do this even with the NPCs walking around so they are dymanically updating their position instead of NPCs being stuck in one place until you find them.

The game also has 172 achievements. I've recently started become interested in earning steam achievements and this is a great game to get some. Ten hours into the game and only have 20 out of 172 achielvements. Not bad for $5.99.

Oh yeah, graphics kinda suck, but luckily gameplay > graphics for me.

Edit - I don't know why I like this game so much. It looks like hell, a little clunky controls but pretty decent after a few hours of getting used to them, confusing what to do or who to interact with (mostly because of the strange names) but your notepad gives you a list of things to keep quests straight, semi-broken quests that you might have to talk to someone numerous times before it registers that you have done what the quest requests.

I'm gonna finish this game and have enjoyed it a lot so far, but I could just be weird like that. Only 100% 3 games on steam so far and this will be #4, although I think I read somewhere that a couple of the achievements are not possible to get, but I will finish this game to the end. I can't say that about hundreds of other (more modern) games.

This game was a demo that came with Jurassic Park Trespasser. Finally get to play through this game. I must have spent over an hour playing that demo. Does anyone else remember that music video disk that came with JPT that had a powerman 5000 music video and some crazy video with a carrot that sang? Or am I the only person who bought Trespasser?

Sooo happy to play this game again :D :D Only played for 90 minuts for now, but all the memories are there, for all the Outcast lovers out there those are 5 euros well spent, childhood memories guaranteed :) Really sad that the kickstarter campaign didn't suceed but this remasterized version is there to dry our tears.
