Description

20 years after the award-winning action adventure hit, Outcast, pioneered the genre of non-linear open-world games, the long-awaited sequel sees Cutter Slade return to the spectacular alien world of Adelpha. Resurrected by the almighty Yods, he has returned to find the Talans enslaved, the world stripped of its natural resources, and his own past intertwining with the invading robot forces. It's up to him to go on a mission and save the planet again.



The original team behind Outcast 1 has reunited to create this fascinating world, full of dangerous creatures and home to the Talan people – an ancient culture whose fate has become inextricably linked with earth since the events of the first game. You play as Cutter Slade, ex-Navy SEAL, sporting the same dry wit he had back in the 90s – however, the world around him has changed and eventually, so will he.



To save Adelpha, you will …

  • use your jetpack to jump, air-dash, glide, and quickly traverse the fantastic in-game open world
  • combine dozens of different modules to create your own personal weapon for taking down the robot invaders
  • have total control to approach the story at your own pace in this non-linear world
  • explore the world without boundaries, discover hidden temples and dangerous wildlife
  • get familiar with the Talan culture while helping them free their villages and gain access to ancient Talan powers that use forces of nature to destroy your enemies
  • experience a beautiful, hand-crafted world accompanied by an epic soundtrack by Outcast's original composer, Lennie Moore

The original Outcast is a perfect example of the jank of its time - imperfect controls, obtuse quests, janky interface etc. It is therefore very funny that this second Outcast is a perfect example of the jank of our

Awesome game. I’m old enough to have played the original on release which was one of my favourite games ever. This one lives up to my expectations, so much fun to play, a proper modern old school game.

Outcast: A New Beginning is a sci-fi open-world adventure with a beautiful world and fun jetpack traversal. Exploration is easily the game's biggest strength and I really liked the main character's vibe. I also enjoyed

combat and movement are good in this game. Goofy lighthearted story with some decent comedy. The neat mix of fantasy elements and sci-fi are balanced well. Feels like a 3rd Person shooter was melded with vibrant open

My opinion on this game is probably a bit biased, as it brings me back to the release of the original and an entire era. A good part of my appreciation clearly comes from that nostalgia. I had already enjoyed the remake

Everything this game does with its movement, which is the biggest part of this game, is done better by Enshrouded. The world is vast, but not much going on. If I had made this game I would have added some smaller poi's
