Through hundreds of quests, the vast open world of Outcast – Second Contact offers epic-scale adventure.
Take off on a fantastic voyage to Adelpha, a bewitching world populated by extraordinary creatures and the home planet of the Talans, an advanced alien civilization.
In the near future, humanity has discovered that it is not alone in the universe – or rather universes. Alas, the first contact with intelligent beings turns disastrous when a probe sent by the US government is destroyed by the natives of a world called Adelpha. The incident creates an energy cataclysm which threatens to destroy the Earth. You are Cutter Slade, a Navy SEAL sent on a mission to Adelpha to find and repair the probe, in order to prevent this catastrophe. Welcomed by natives as the “Ulukai” – a messiah of an ancient prophecy – you will discover that the futures of Adelpha and the Earth are now linked.
Outcast – Second Contact is the complete remake of the cult title Outcast. As the first 3D open world in the history of video games and pioneer in the modern action-adventure genre, the 1999 release won over 100 awards including adventure game of the year.

Very same while I was expecting more
It is absolutely the same game just with a better graphics and faster shooting guns which makes game easier. I mean in 1999 this was a masterpiece. There were not so many games with full 3D and open world with a lot of NPCs. At that time games were made not for making money but for "fun". You did not expect from the game loads of features, just a 20 to 30 hours of interesting gameplay. Today we expect more from the game but second contact is just the same game, even a little bit easier. I would absolutely approve it if there will be DLC that would extend story line but at the moment guys just took unreal engine and redesigned levels and models. Put the same story line, same items placement, same issues, same controls. Even old audio samples and movie scenes were used. And selling that as a 35 euro game is a bit too rude. I mean, you did not need game designer, level designer, actors, artists - all that was taken (copypasted even without proper quality improvements) from main game so you did not spend money there. While we have 39 euro games like Original Sin and Original Sin 2 which required way more efforts and people to get completed. I would not recommend it now unless there will be some reasonable DLCs. At the moment just play old Outcast with graphic mods to get almost the same game or even better.
