Outcast - Second Contact
Description
Take the role of Cutter Slade, a tried and tested elite soldier, and explore the planet Adelpha with complete freedom. As you journey in this magnificent world, where magic and science mix, discover exotic cities, face fierce enemies and attempt to learn the secrets of an advanced civilization. Make the correct choices in this systemic, living world, because the destiny of these two universes depends on your success.
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.

A fine remake of a game that deserves to be played as much as it gets fondly remembered.

Although its augmentations are selective and skin deep, Outcast remains a generous and uniquely captivating game.

4/5 stars
Outcast is a special piece of gaming history that surprisingly and against any reasonable expectation withstood the test of time. It absolutely should not be missed.

Very buggy game
Getting stuck in introduction level between small bushes and forest area behind river.. cant get out with that quirky movement, cant jump out nothing.. cant load older save. As a level designer my self i cant tolerate such a design flaw in fist introduction level. Like someone cant fix bad collision zones and terrain slopes... I have to restart now and i have lost 30 mins of my little free time which i have.

Rather play something else
I never played the original, so I´m unbiased. The game ain´t that bad, but the combat is so janky that I couldn´t be bothered to keep playing. Also, why is there no infinite sprinting when not in combat? The story feels like it goes nowhere after the prologue and there is no real incentive to continue afterwards. Overall, the story isn´t that interesting and I find many things about the world and story weird and out of place. I can´t empathize with ugly aliens that talk funny.

DOES NOT WORK ON AMD-ATI LAPTOPS! UNITY!
Bluntly put, DON'T BUY THIS - the Outcast 1.1 release is superior in every way. Don't believe in the lies about added content (read: a useless room with an Outcast symbol in it, woohoo). It's a terrible, rushed Unity port that the devs didn't try to patch at all. It runs slow as hell too - the most common Unity trait. Here how it will run on your AMD-ATI laptop: you complete the tutorial village sequence (i.e. five minutes of content), you enter the portal and the game will crash. It has been like that for years, so don't expect it to change. What should happen is you get teleported into the other world and appear underwater in a pond. It does work on Intel-based laptops w/ Intel Graphics stuff, though. Again, get the Outcast 1.1 instead that had devs behind that actually cared. The game content is IDENTICAL, meaning you'll be taking in a ton of extra negatives by picking the Second Contact release for no gain. If you really want a more recent Outcast release, download the fan game Legacy of the Yods (2017) that practically tries to be Outcast 2 and allegedly has fully-vocalized cast. Probably works better, too, than Second Contact. You HAVE OPTIONS and no excuse. BTW, a ton of barely-sensical shill reviews with this one. You have to wonder how a game that does not even work on a big chunk of the targeted systems, is somehow 4/5 .
