The best mid-weight space sim in a while
There's a lot to like about this game. The setting is colorful, both literally and figuratively, with a unique look to everything that is well-designed. Outlaw and its predecessor lean a little farther into the "country western" aspect of "space western" than I might prefer, but it does make for a distinct feeling, and my damaged ship making the sounds of an old truck with a broken carbeurator is memorable. Gameplay is absolutely solid. Trading has nuance without being an economy sim. Don't get me wrong, I like space sims with deep, complex economies, but this game is aiming for a point somewhere between that level and arcade, and nails it. Similarly, combat flying has a mid-level nuance, with just enough ability/need to watch or alter ship systems, and just enough situational usefulness between the different weapons, to reward a technical/tactical mindset. Someone who wants to just hold the trigger down on their favorite weapon will still be able to find success. Excellent graphics. The starfield in particular has an amazing pop. Laser blasts look great and leave scorch marks. Chunks of ships fly off when damaged to great satisfaction (though this is not reflected in the ship models). The explosions are spectacular and, happily, debris hurts you in you try to do an action movie fly-through. Maybe the best job board I've seen in this genre. As far as I can tell the game does not support flightsticks. That's unfortunate for those of us with good sticks who like mapped buttons and actual throttles. That said, the mouse controls are very good. The game claims to be optimized for control pads, but playing a flight sim that way just would not feel right to me, so I have not tried. Absolutely hate the music, but there's a good variety of it between different radio stations. Naturally I was able to mute it entirely from the options menu, but that also took away the entertaining radio ads. Oh well.
