Outward Definitive Edition

Прокидаєшся о п'ятій ранку. Йдеш по воду, збираєш ягоди та фрукти. Готуєш їжу і заварюєш чай. Відбиваєшся від скажених курей, собак і бабусь, які вимагають з тебе гроші. Ходиш довгі відстані перевантажений різним непотребом, бо треба то все продати в місті. Потім повернувся з села до дому і сів грати в Outward.

Let me preface this review with the disclaimer that I historically DO NOT like survival games where you have to monitor hunger and thirst and other statuses. Most of the time these types of games leave me feeling bored, afraid to explore much for fear of starving/dying of thirst, and directionless after a few minutes. HOWEVER, I played Outward with my boyfriend for a few hours tonight, and something about it convinced me to play over the two hour maximum before refunding. I think the story/quests help to give the game a direction and encouraged me to work towards certain goals that other survival games don't really give you. So, after 3 hours of playing, I can safely say that I will likely play this game more with my partner in future play sessions. Good job, devs!

Nice game concept, but the combat is way too crude and recovery is horrible[list] [*]If you are reasonably equipped, going 1v1 against an enemy is a 50% win chance [*] Enemies almost always come in pairs, making it tricky to peel them apart [*]Combat doesn't work very well unless you lock onto your target, which prevents you from using side steps, evasion, and strafing tactics. [*]Enemies have precision targeting, range, and timing meaning the player needs to develop a high level of proficiency with a very clunky combat system [*]Enemies respawn daily/nightly, so it is difficult to keep an area cleared and make progress [*]Not enough resources to make adventure worthwhile, since loot does not respawn, and overworld resources do not respawn as fast as enemies. This means you are always in shortage of bandages and arrows. [*]Using a healing bandage barely restores any health, if you get hit ONCE by an enemy it tanks down 25% of your health (or more). When you bandage, you restore about 7% health.. so you would need 3-4 bandages PER HIT just to heal on the go. However, you are lucky to be able to craft more than a few bandages. [*]Your character gets fatigued too quickly, reducing your maximum stamina. The day length is generous, but if you leave town at dawn, your character will be 50% exhausted before mid-day requiring you to sleep for 4-8 hours TWICE A DAY. [*]Resting on a bed is how you heal and restore fatigue.. so if you get into a fight, you have to sleep AGAIN since there are not enough linen and bandages to stay engaged. [*]When you rest in the overworld you have a chance to be ambushed, so instead of sleep, you have to post guard duty on watch to prevent the ambush, which cuts into your recovery time. [*]Your items durability decays quickly with use, and you have to repair when you rest on a bed, which ALSO cuts into your recovery time. [*]When you die, you respawn with 25% health in an enemy camp usually, with all your gear conveniently left nearby on the ground and in storage chests with only 1 enemy guarding you. So you have to get your gear back, re-equip, heal (yea right, like you have any bandages left), and either evade or defeat the guard to escape. If you manage to escape, you still have to deal with the 2 or 4 enemies that are conveniently waiting outside, and you are a long way from town. P.S. You can run, but the enemy just follows you forever.. so it's a bad gameplay loop.[/list] Outward seems to me like a game designed for 2 player Co-op, and requires you to rest in order to heal, rest in order to repair, rest in order to recover from fatigue, and rest in order to prevent an ambush.. while resting. That is why I do not recommend this game. The combat is terrible, and the rest-for-every action is a stupid design. As if this wasn't bad enough, your character has a VERY low carrying capacity. You start only able to carry 10lbs of gear, which is basically the worn clothing, a weapon, a couple tools, and maybe a few scraps of crafting mats. You can get a small pack at the start, which allows you to carry another 25lbs, so you can now carry food, water, bedroll, campfire, and some additional tools. If you literally loot anything, you become encumbered again, and your movement speed is reduced proportionately to how over-burdened you are, until you just stop moving entirely. You can get some items to upgrade, like a trader's coat that adds some carrying capacity, or a bigger backpack that gives you more capacity.. so that isn't a terrible thing. What is bad is the number of resources you will need to go on an adventure, and how much those things fill up your inventory and max out your capacity. Does this resemble real-life camping and adventure? Sure. However, when adventuring outdoors in real life, one does not frequently encounter dangerous beasts and violent criminals in pairs conveniently appearing every 12 hours or so. The game map is static, quests are linear, so once you learn the map, there is no new discovery, There are a couple of quest lines to follow, which offer some alternative experiences with playthrough. The loot is RNG, so you will have a slightly different kit for each character. Character creation is essentially "Potato" with some of that weird 'patchy' 2D kind of hair graphic. Voice acting is solid, and the towns and NPCs are somewhat immersive (they do not follow any life routines like eating or sleeping, shops are always open, most NPCs are not interactive) Game has decent settings and options allowing for custom key binds and sliders for graphics and audio quality. All said and done, the game was dirt cheap so I checked it out. I don't regret the purchase, since I got to enjoy the good parts of the game and I might pick it up sometime in the future just for lack of anything else to do. The combat and recovery is just so awful though. I really hope that Outward 2 addresses some of that clunky and crude design.

The worst combat I've ever experienced in a game. If they fixed that, this game would be great.

It's amazing by the time I figured out all of outwards systems and how to get strong I have no desire to play bottom line like if you know how to get strong there is no joy in playing it because your already as strong as you can get but all you do is buff yourself up and put on half way good armor and weapons and you have beat the game without doing the story at all. at that point your just killing time witch means after 38 hours of play time I'm Board of the game because with the right knowledge base you could probably become overpowered in 10 hours or less. also the harder enemy's just are not worth beating let me explain to be over powered I crafted 2 different foods for buffs and 3 different elixirs for buffs and I put on a weapon enchant and a rune enchant on my character that all stacked and to top it off for the boss I crafted and armed 6 different traps with his health at 10% of max if not killing the boss out right and by the time I do all of that I get a 2 silver reward if not in the red and losing lots of in game money or time just to beat the boss or bosses. if you like losing in game money on bosses or time to every boss the endgame is for you but for me the middle game was peak when the rewards made sense because I got money but it feels like I'm beating the bosses for charity it does not feel good at all at late game to me to play. the game has good design but make the quests to beat the bosses pay lots of silver at least. to make the prep work feel worth it.

我玩过最有趣的开放世界游戏，第一眼很简陋很平淡，模型比较简陋，但是很有意思的地方是这个的经历很像你高中时候读书的感觉，你先是会被劝退，会被质疑，哪怕路上遇见的一只鸡你都需要害怕，你会脱水会突然遇见强盗，会莫名其妙的死掉，直到你站在顶点的时候，你会回味过来，你会想自己需要一个没有玩过这个游戏的大脑。你愿意再试一次。这个游戏最低配置是一到两个好朋友和你一起玩，这会让游戏变得更加有趣。你再也找不到第二个类似这样的游戏了，，，异世界最棒的冒险
