This is going to be a long one I warn you as I have fallen for this game. Been playing Outward since it’s patch (as I never play anything day one), and have spent well over 100 hours on my main character so far.(The end game content is meaty). Loving the exploration, adventure and freedom, the fact that you start as a shipwrecked nobody who has to truly struggle to survive at first. Fighting hard, looting everything, crafting and trading between regions to work your way up and train under masters and once you start getting a build feeling powerful and being able to take on harder and harder things that felt impossible before, to get those epic goodies. There are so many classes and potential combinations that there is tons of replayability which fits well given the main story has multiple factions that you have to pick one for your game to enjoy its quest lines and interesting story which is just a part of the larger tapestry of the whole games story/ world lore that you can only experience in its entirety if you replay multiple times to do each of the factions playthrough. My husband was jealous of how fun it looked and so bought himself a copy and I have a second character for co-op playing on his world, so I’m already experiencing a second factions storyline and multiplayer works flawlessly. Plus the game feels so fun even the second time round given how different I am building my character this time, solo was a speed archer, trap assassin, co-op I’ve gone full triple threat mage.
I’ve also got the game on the Ps5 and PC. I was someone who always wanted the game on the Switch, but was made to believe that it was a pipe dream. Yet here we are! The thought of being able to play Outward literally anywhere was too enticing!
– The performance is amazing. It hasn’t felt choppy at all so far.
– The UI is correctly scaled and readable, which has been an issue in other game ports that I’ve seen.
– The graphics are obviously not as good as on other platforms, but the game retains its charm, and feels immersive. It reminds me of how I felt when I booted the game up for the first time at release. I’ve already taken a bunch of screenshots on the Switch, which I only tend to do if I want to capture a special moment!
– Blast the music at full volume through the Switch speakers for the fully fledged experience!
– I haven’t tried the multiplayer feature yet, so I can’t comment on the performance of that yet.
