Outcast 1.1

A game where you chuckle at the main character's own frustration and realistic reactions to being dropped into an alien 'third world guerrilla action'. You start out alone, untrusted and poorly armed and have to commit acts of terrorism, subterfuge and hit and run to weaken an overwhelming enemy and gain the trust of a population. The civilian AI in this game is an order of magnitude above and beyond anything done since, with npcs that communicate and react to the situation. They have a language and you can overhear them talking about things they have heard about and seen. You start the game with a terrified population that will betray you to the guards, and by the end of the game you are hunting down enemy stragglers on (horse)back with the civilians pointing them out to you. This game is one of the best, by far. It's a must-play.

Wow, I just got done finishing this game and...yeah, A+ title. The fact that it's only 5.99 is an even bigger bonus. I had never heard of this game until seeing it here on GOG and after reading the reviews decided to take a chance on it. I had recently finished Mass Effect 1 before playing this and this really does STILL hold it's own today against the big name titles. I had just as much fun playing this as I did Mass Effect, and to be honest...the story in this is a little bit better. The characters (Cutter, Marion, various Talon) are incredibly well written and are bursting with personality. This game is the definition of a classic. I highly recommend it.

This is one of those games that was just a tad too far ahead of its time, and now it looks dated. But only to those people who put eye-candy ahead of everything else that actually matters in a game or even a story come to that. I won't defend its shortcomings - heaven knows, it's not perfect; the umpteenth time you fail to make a jump being the most egregious issue, and the illusion of depth in the gameworld is easily broken. But it more than holds its own against its contemporaries such as Half Life and Deus Ex, and deserves its belated recognition.

thank god GOG made this game free for a while so people can experience it, it's basically an action adventure game, with a quite good open world (keep in mind that this is the original game optimized for newer pc's but it gives you the og one as a bonus so the map is not that detailed) but the thing I love the most is the atmosphere so yeah if you want a scifi action adventure open world classic this is the game for you

Quite simply: Always was, and probably always will be my favourite game.
