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 classic, reborn for a new era
This game was an open world sandbox 3rd person adventure when there was almost nothing like it on the PC. The closest there was, was maybe Tomb Raider. But this blew that away with its setting. It does such an amazing job of creating a living, breathing alien world, it felt like you were playing an episode of Stargate: SG1 (which this game owes a huge debt to). There are cities with inhabitants doing their own thing. Guard patrols. Alien critters to ride! And a pretty interesting story, too. The combat is fun, with the use of cover and stealth (if you want). And some crafting, before crafting in games was really a thing. This version has the same soundtrack, same voice acting, and same everything. The only difference is the graphics look great (although to be honest, the voxel graphics from the 19-year-old original actually hold up pretty well). It works great with a gamepad (XBox One controller on PC for me). It feels like I'm back on Adelpha again. The colours... the sounds... the music. It's like playing a movie all over again. If you're looking to relive the original, or play one of the ancestors of modern third-person adventures for the first time, this is a top-notch addition to your GOG library.
