Spoiler


AltChar - Asmir Kovacevic - 68 / 100

In essence, Outcast: A New Beginning can be characterized as a game brimming with exceptionally promising ideas yet suffering from dismal execution.


But Why Tho? - Adrian Ruiz - 8 / 10

The joy of Outcast – A New Beginning comes from the freedom of its nonlinear concept.

Checkpoint Gaming - Victor Tan - 7 / 10

Outcast – A New Beginning presents an exciting adventure into the planet of Adelpha. While the innovative combat and environmental interactions are fun, the game is too similar to other open-world RPGs to truly stand out. Exploring Adelpha in its entirety is also challenging because several bugs hamper your progress, sometimes even crashing your game. The game may not break the barrier into greatness, but you can still easily have a good time if you look past the flaws.


Chicas Gamers - Antonio J. Rodríguez - Spanish - Unscored

You will like Outcast: a new beginning if you are one of those who played the original adventure, it will be full of nostalgia and memories. If you want to play a game with a well-crafted culture and background, this is your place.


Evilgamerz - Daan Nijboer - Dutch - 5 / 10

Outcast's return hasn't been as big as fans of the original had hoped. Where the game excels is the world and the ability to explore with your jetpack, but that's where the fun ends. Being able to personalize the weapons with the modules of your choice is nice, but on the other hand, the combat itself is not very spectacular. Add to that the bad jokes, the dramatic writing, the boring quests and the technical problems and you quickly end up with a very mediocre game. Outcast – A New Beginning falls short on almost all points, so you actually get bored after a few hours. Fans have had to wait 25 years for a worthy successor, but with A New Beginning they will be disappointed.

A poor (and bored) man's Avatar, Outcast: A New Beginning is a tedious open world shooter that simply doesn't have anything new to say.


Saving Content - Scott Ellison II - 3 / 5

The first game was neat for it’s time, and the remake breathed new life into the series. While I’m not sure we needed a sequel, there’s some really neat ideas, quests, systems, and ways of traversing I haven’t quite experienced. There’s clearly a lot of secrets to uncover and things to do in this open-world adventure we’ve seen before, but in a new way. This really feels like a throwback game from a different era mixed with new ideas. While not every component of Outcast – A New Beginning comes together the way it should, it’s still very entertaining and captivating.


VideoGamer - Amaar Chowdhury - 6 / 10

Where it innovates in design, Outcast: A New Beginning simultaneously stumbles over its own two feet with a clunkiness emblematic of other games in its niche. The game isn’t better or worse than its competitors – but it’s different enough to deserve some attention


XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 5.5 / 10

Outcast: A New Beginning does its best to invoke a sense of wonder as you jetpack 4 feet off of the ground in an occasionally beautiful alien world.  Weak writing, terrible performance, and repetitive quest design work together to make it a dour experience in the end.
