Outshine

A typing game that also builds your micromanagement skills. This review also encompasses acquiring all the achievements. To preface, I average around 100 wpm under "normal" circumstances. Pros: - good typing practice. In some scenarios, you build your vocabulary lmao - lots of gimmicks that provides an extra challenge. These modifications can be toggled on or off and include: faster/more words, backword words, no hit runs, no mistakes, etc. And let me tell you, they are challenging alright. - there is a plot if you care. - soundtrack is not bad. Cons: - personally, I find the scoring to be a bit odd. To get more scores, you have to balance out typing the words in general with the COLOUR of the words to stack those colours and get a bigger point bonus. Ehhhhhhhhhh - achievements can be buggy. It's criminal to have achievements dedicated to racking up x amount of y and not either implement the steam achievement counter, or having an in-game counter for said stats. As such, I have tracked my words and found the "Kill xxxx enemies" to be buggy after achieving a particular other achievement. It appears that resetting your progress can work but man is that tedious. In these instances, it becomes such a grind and frankly, not fun. You can opt to use a script. Overall, a good game to get some typing practice. But tbh, for your money, I don't see why you can't just go on typing practice websites and type away. As for achievement hunting, don't go for this game and save yourself the headache. Otherwise, good quality typing game and it's your time and money.

good typing

The premise of the game looks really cool, the vibe is nice, and the story is enjoyable too. Even though this game is good, it's not really for me. I'm not that good at English blind writing, so I can't fully enjoy this game, but I do see the appeal - especially the competitive side of it. To sum it up, the game is a well-deserved 7/10 for me. It would be higher if I were better at those kinds of games because it is actually really cool.

Outshine is flashy, arcade action set to the tune of frantic typing that perfectly scratches that occasional need to jab at your keyboard with great speed and accuracy. It's engaging on lower difficulties but far too overstimulating at higher ones. As Outshine gets harder, it becomes more about target prioritization and visually processing the debris that’s on the screen. It can be downright difficult to see all the individual letters homing in on you when you’ve got so many other typographical objects on the screen. The default font doesn’t make distinguishing between characters such as “O” and “D” particularly easy either. Oh, and you're gonna want to immediately rebind 'strafe right' to anything that's not ‘right CTRL’. I actually forgot that button existed.

This has helped me type alot faster !

In terms of typing games this is probably the best I have ever played. A variety of modifiers and difficulty options allow you to adjust the game so it matches your typing speed and abilities, it has a fantastic art style, an energetic and motivating soundtrack that I could listen to for hours and accessibility options including a dyslexia-friendly font. If you're shopping for a typing game, this one's well worth the price and I can highly recommend both it and its soundtrack!

If you like typing games I guess it is quite OK.

Way better than it first seems, A lot of speedrunning potential, and very polished
