The game does right by the original, and for that alone it deserves the highest praise already. Yods be silent! <3
For the better part of two decades, I wished for the Outcast name to be revived. The original game holds such sway over me, one look at my user name and you know what it means to me. Second Contact feels like archaeology: an open world game brought back to life, as if to tell modern open world games that this is what they were supposed to become. Second Contact is, like any indie game, not perfect but for any Outcast fan it's an absolute must. For any gamer, it's as hit-or-miss as it was back then, but if it's "hit", it's for life.
