Castle, nazis, monsters, occult, adrenaline pumping music, secrets to explore ( no need for achievements or any upgrade BS). 100/100. To everyone that didn't had the pleasure of playing this timeless classic, get it now, on sale or not. It needs to be in your library and played at least once. Thank god it runs smooth on Windows 11. You may need a widescreen fix or just play it like that. You will never regret it. It has sugar, spice and everything nice.
A classic shooter from the golden age of modern gaming. There is enough comedy in those dialogs and music ( oh the combat music) to get you through the whole game. It may seem difficuly at first but it grows on you.
This game is one big traumatic experience. Its like being in someone's head when they recall traumatic flashbacks followed by screams, crying, doors being slammed, being yelled at etc. 10/10 Listen closley and we may find our layers of fears.
Outerworlds has its own issues between humans and corporations... much like our world. The characters are relatable and have deep layered issues which makes the game interesting and challenging, having to face your own personal issues, when you choose the wrong answer, but there's never a wrong answer is there? Add to that formula a living world that doesn't try too much. The art direction is interesting, the local flora and fauna are surprisingly welcomed when traveling between areas if you are bored from too much fast travel. If you take your time, admiring the world, the game feels fresh after a long day. 10/10 for putting that much effort in dialogs, many multiple ways to develop your character, simple and satisfying graphics, great voice acting and great stories with tricky problems to deal with.
I must say, returning to the Zone after ten years, the game stands solid. I must recommend the original vanilla version, as it was ment to be played like that. The gurgoling sounds at night, dogs barking as they are about to attack or scare you, the wind bringing distant shots with terrible screams, pure and raw loneliness 24/7 as you navigate inside the Zone. The game repeats itself here and there but you are kind of choosing what kind of stalker are you. I won't even mention the things they could have put in the game and they never saw the light of day. The universe feels like it has its own hard truth there. I still got the chills inside the underground lab, or any other dangerous place like i did 10 years ago. You may not like the outdated graphics but your imagination is more valuable than any unreal 5 realistic game.
Personally i find this game addictive. It has good music, great visuals, varied classes that are hard to master and a lot of content and hours to loose yourself in. Returning to this game with all expantions after 15 years was the best decision.
The game may look and feel sometimes stiff, occasionally has a bug or 10, but... at the end of my completionist journey, I remembered that the last game that put me on the couch and got me start looking for more psychological and philosophical books, was Soma. So.. in short, thank you CDPR for this wonderful story-telling experience. Your characters and stories were fantastic. P.S. now that we understand through your game what corpos stand for, next time, do not rush your next magnum opus.
Not as memorable as the first title. Predictable sections with frustrating gameplay. Loveley design and sound, though. Story? A little over the edge. I've seen better.
but then.... it transformed into something beautifull over the years.
First time when i played this, i was terrified by the whole atmosphere. The colors that painted Insmouth, the characters, sound effects, music, voice acting. Later, after a few years, i started reading the works of H.P. Lovecraft. I appreciated this game even more. Why isn't anyone making a remake after this ? A proper remake, or a sequel. This game is incredible on all aspects. It's raw, old, cluncky, when gaming was a form of expression not a market with 90% processed food.
