Outward Definitive Edition

+1

目前玩过的最好玩的游戏之一

A true survival RPG! There is definitely a learning curve and the start of the game is hard. But after a couple of hours mechanics are becoming natural. The game is incredible well balanced. So much to explore!

Outward is charming game that asks: how would a regular person fair in a fantasy world as an adventurer. This isn't a simulator, at it's core it is an adventure game but one that allows people to do co-op couch play to take down enemies, explore ruins, and survive while discovering the history and lore of the world. This game isn't without it's flaws, the controls can be clunky at first, combat is simple but can be frustratingly difficult, and travel is slow, forcing you to travel on foot going from town to town. But unlike other games, it adds to the game's charm and makes the world feel real. Defiently worth playing and I look foward to what the developers do in the sequel to make the game better.

It cost less than a fiver but I regret spending even that. The graphics are relatively crude and it's far from an open world, hemmed in by unscalable cliffs everywhere. The World is indeed huge but sparsely furnished so travel is tedious. Combat is very difficult with a character underpowered by default and this is exacerbated by a rather obscure skill progression, unaffordable because loot is worth diddly squat, the absence of saves and by the 'snakes & ladders' mechanic which sends you back to the start after a defeat. I have other games that I find hard, but I still play for interest. As Outward's quests cannot be abandoned (or even avoided in some cases) I have reached an impasse so this is the first game ever that I shall wipe from my PC as I think it is literally a waste of (storage) space.

Si partir en roadtrip avec une vieille voiture 2 places dotée d'un réservoir de 10L qui consomme du 50L au 100 sans direction assistée et ce avec un espace de stockage digne d'une banane Adidas vous donne envie, alors ce jeu est fait pour vous. Si cela ne vous tente pas mais que vous possédez en votre for intérieur un aventurier téméraire, sachez que vous pouvez y installer des mods pour transformer votre voiture en véritable berline tunée jusqu'à la moelle épinière (et pas besoin de cheats pour cela), faisant de ce jeu une véritable promenade de santé. D'ailleurs la majeur partie des gens qui le recommandent le font en disant de jouer avec les mods. Mais ça dénature tout le jeu. Même les mods simples (regen endurance, poids sacs etc...). Puisque la difficulté réside dans la lourdeur des mécaniques et votre capacité à la tanker plus que dans votre skill "pur". Pas même skill de gestion hein. Une fois que vous saurez où avoir quoi le jeu devient easy peasy. Donc j'ai du mal à comprendre en quoi le jeu est recommandable. En quelques mots : c'est chiant, long, répétitif et mal expliqué. La première run est une torture tandis que la deuxième est son antithèse.

After 105 hours and beating the main campaign + the DLCs, this game is a frustrating recommend. The game's best feature is also its worst: there's no saving and when you die, something happens to your character. Sometimes this can lead to interesting scenarios, but most of the time you are simply kicked while down. And combined with this game's marketing about 'great effort' and 'survival is earned, not given', the game can come off as elitist while simultaneously including mechanics with no tutorial, only discovery where you are punished for doing it wrong. All that being said, there is plenty of fun to be had, and you can see a lot of love and care put into the game and its mechanics. I hope the sequel improves the formula and doesn't double down on the punishments for the sake of catering to a hardcore crowd.
