Outcast is a 3D, non-linear, action-adventure game, released in 1999. At the time it was totally amazing, even with its kinda ugly voxel graphics. It's important to know what you're getting with Second Contact. This is very much a remaster, not a remake. The graphics aren't as chunky, and there are some very welcome quality of life changes, but at its core, this is a 26 year old game. The spoken dialog has been cleaned up, but it's a bit scratchy, due to the original recording quality. The UX is vastly improved, but it's still pretty clunky, as is a lot of the gameplay. And some of the story elements (particularly how it treats its solitary female character) haven't aged very well. At least that gorgeous, fully orchestrated score sounds as good as ever (it was redbook/CD audio before, so nothing really needed there!). But if you can look its flaws, this game was amazing in '99, and it's still a lot of fun. My only real complaint (other than this being a fairly modest remaster) is that the replacement cut-scenes are not an improvement at all. I get that the old files were probably 320x240, and would look absolutely awful on a modern screen, but the replacement isn't much better, even if it is in the proper resolution. So yeah. Great game. A little rough around the edges, but well worth playing. And if you really, want to see what the voxel version looked like, check out Outcast 1.1, also available on Steam. It's too bad the two versions aren't save compatible, but at least it's still there.

I didn't know this game, so I wondered a little bit about the 90'-ies -touch in the gameplay. As common back then the gameplay is a kind of slow and not without a challenge. The game has a strong story and is very atmospheric. The diologues are very charming and humorous. The combat is kind of simple but feels fluent. The movements are clunky - you need patiance for this kind of game. For me the story was amazing and after I started playing I was looking forward to continue after work every day. I really enjoyed playing this game and do recommend it.

Jumping mechanics like the old Tomb Raider games had me pulling my hair out but Outcast is alright other that that. Outcast is a remaster that maintains the feeling of the original version, driven by a good narrative structure that puts the player in a big world populated by different alien races that give a lot of different quests. Instead the gameplay is old and unfriendly and graphics that dont hold up.

I played this game when I was a boy. Couldn't win it back then, wasn't ready. Now I bought it and won it. I needed that. Great game, especially for its time. This remade version (higher graphics) made it playable. I wouldn't have played the game with classic graphics. So big thanks to the re-creator ;) I feel like I broke through something. Will help me in in real life.

Excellent revamp of the classic game. Voice acting and musical score are still top notch.
